Hey everybody!

I tried my hand at a sock-bun today~ I love it!
I think I'll add this look to my "I've-got-to-fix-my-hair-in-a-hurry" list of hairstyles.



Here are a few pictures~

The first ones were taken this morning when the sun was brighter,
and the second set was taken late this afternoon in the shade.
I couldn't decide between the two, so I'm posting pictures from both!

Thank you, girls!

[kidari]

I adore your hairstyle posts! Beautiful as always.... I have a huge question to ask though: where do you get those butterfly clips?! I NEED them!

[Zenity]

Congrats! looks amazing! sooooo beautiful.

[bunzfan]

Yours look fantastic! i still cant master this bun i think i should because i have some big hair forks.

[CastaDiva]

That`s what I would call a perfect sock bun!

Wimsey is so cute:) And I have to comment on the picture of the three birds sitting on a wire and one of them is dangling his feet:D It`s a very happy and fun picture, I like it very much!! Thanks for posting:)

[SwordWomanRiona]

I've never done a sock bun, but I like how it looks so I may give it a try!
Your sock bun looks amazing. Beautiful, beautiful thick golden hair, as always :)

[julliams]

Beautiful as always BUT I just had to say that Wimsey is the BEST name for a dog. Now why didn't I think of that one???

[Lisa R]

Just beautiful as always! You did so well to get the sock bun looking so neat. Well done!

[vanity_acefake]

Simply stunning. As always your hair looks fabulous. :)
And Whimsy is such a clever chap.

[lesbia]

That's perfect! I love it! :)

for all your views and kind comments about my hair and Wimsey, too!
I got his name from Dorothy Sayer's books, the main character being Lord Peter Wimsey.

Hey you! Love the sock bun on you! I was wondering how you were going to manage with all of your hair, but it came out just gorgeous! :D

[irishlady]

Oh I like it! It's beautiful, mine always look really lame :p

[CornishMaid]

Oh how beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous :magic:

[Lunnafindel]

Awesome. When/How did you braid it though? After you made the sock bun? Did you wrap it around once unbraided to secure it and then start braiding? I'd never even attempted that kind of sock bun because I thought it was impossible on long hair - you proved me wrong. Now I want to know how to do it because it looks great!

[AnnaJamila]

I love sock buns! And that was a beautiful one! :)

[Sundial]

When I saw the title, I just HAD to come in and take a look! :o I foolishly thought you were going to do a fully-rolled sock bun and was curious to see how big your bun was going to be! :o This is a gorgeous style on you though and I really like it!

[melbournian]

Your sock bun is gorgeous! I'm so jealous :) I've got a sock all rolled up and ready to go but my hair just isn't long enough for it yet...one day though!

[QueenJoey]

Good job Whimsey! What a cutie!

Haha, like alot of other girls, I too thought you were gonna roll all of your hair. I was imagining itbigger than you entire head, haha, But the braid was a very pretty touch.

Where do you get all your claw clips?

[fairytalehair]

Oh wow. please post a pic of your hair down and loose? it looks SO AMAZING!

[pepperminttea]

Me too - a fully rolled sock bun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13J7ArHTkM) on the OP would be absolutely massive/amazing/might cause a blackhole in the hair galaxy thanks to its size. :p

[LadyLongLocks]

It came out really pretty ;) Thanks for sharing the pictures.

[MsBubbles]

Oh wow. please post a pic of your hair down and loose? it looks SO AMAZING!

She already did! Here. (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=72258)

Wow looks fab, and your dog is a cutie :)

[Macaroni]

Classically beautiful, I ♥ it.

[LouLaLa]

Very lovely :flower: I enjoy your posts alot!

Your dog is precious!

[Anya21]

Absolutely amazing!

[Teufelchen]

I really love your pics. The background is always reminding me of summer, with is perfect, as I am in cold and rainy UK. :wink:

Your sockbun is really impressive.

[archel]

Ah! I wish I had long enough hair to wind a braid around the edges like that, I just wind up with bits poking out. Maybe I'll use a scarf or something til I get there...

This looks great! Does the weight give you a headache?

[pes3108]

wow, gorgeous!!!

[Cowgirl16]

Very pretty :D I love it with those butterfly clips:cool:

[Netabug]

Your sock-bun is beautiful and so is your hair! The wrapped braid was an awesome touch!

[slo2gro]

wow awesome bun. Where the heck do you live that pineapple looks good too... go doggie go haha

Thanks, everybody! I'm thinking about trying it again with a HUGE sock-donut...hmmm...I wonder what that would look like??? :)

[UltraBella]

Okay, I know the focus of this thread is your lovely sock bun, but all I can think about is that adorable dog !!!!! So cute !!!!

[GeoJ]

What a beautiful sock bun! I also like how you have both clips on one side, it makes it look more interesting than having the clips symmetrical.

[Sweetie]

Ohhhhh look at that braid!!!! I'll never do a sock bun again!!! And the beautiful little Wimsey is looooovely!!

[stacyyyy1972]

wow beautiful!! I really need to learn to do that :)

[sarahbrownie]

Lovely. I can't imagine how big your bun would be if you did the Loepsie method. It's very inspiring. <3
