The look of your top knot can be improved with a sock bun.It's an easy way to style your hair.You will end up with soft, natural-looking Curls that will definitely turn heads if you damp your hair before you roll it up into the sock bun and leave it to dry for several hours.If you want to go out while you're waiting for your hair to grow, no one will know about it.
Step 1: There is a firm elastic on the sock.
You will need a clean sock to make the donut.It is important to choose one with tight elastic at the top that will hold your hair in place.To make sure the donut is tight enough to hold your hair, use a child size sock.If you are going to wear the sock bun outside, make sure it is similar in color to your hair.If any of the sock peeks out, that helps camouflage it.
Step 2: Turn the toe of the sock inside out.
To create a long tube, take a pair of scissors and cut off the toe of the sock.To turn the sock into a donut, flip it inside out.If you use a pair of scissors or shears designed for cutting fabric, you will have an easier time cutting the sock.
Step 3: The elastic top needs to be rolled from the toe.
After you cut the sock and turned it inside out, roll it up over itself to make a donut.Roll it from the toe to the elastic until all of the fabric is in the ring.
Step 4: You should put your hair in a ponytail.
If you have tangles, smooth your hair with a comb or brush.Next, put your hair in a ponytail.Attach it with an elastic.When you put your hair in a ponytail, it can be wet or dry.There is no need to dry it completely if it is freshly washed.Don't use a brush to remove tangles if your hair is prone to frizz.A wide-toothed comb is a better option.
Step 5: Don't blow the ponytail.
If your hair is not freshly washed, you will want to shorten the ponytail.It is a good idea to mist your hair with a spray bottle.You don't have to use water.If you want, you can use spray gel or leave-in conditioner.Don't get your hair wet.If you soak it, it might not dry by the next morning.
Step 6: The ponytail needs to be pushed through the donut.
Take the end of your ponytail and pull it through the hole in the center of the donut.Take it down to the base of the pony.Don't slide the donut all the way to the base of your hair.There should be a small amount of hair at the end of the donut.
Step 7: Tuck the ends of the pony.
Divide the ends of your hair into three or four sections after you pull the ponytail through the donut.Next, tuck the ends of the hair under the socks.You don't have to worry about the bun looking perfect if you plan to go out with it.Once it is secured, you can fix it.
Step 8: You should roll the donut down to your head.
The ends of the ponytail are stuck under the bottom of a socks.Continue rolling it until you reach the base of your pony.You are rolling your hair over the sock at the same time.If you have fine hair, that helps make the bun appear large and thick.The placement of the hair around the bun can be used to make it neater and ensure that the sock is completely covered.
Step 9: If necessary, secure the bun with pins.
The bun should be placed on your head if the socks are tight.If you have thick, coarse hair or the sock isn't very tight, you should put some pins into the bun to hold it in place.
Step 10: The bun needs to sit overnight.
Once the bun is secured, you can sleep with it and use it to curl your hair.You can do the bun in the morning, wear it all day, and take it out at night.You want to make sure that the hair inside the bun is completely dry before you take it out.
Step 11: You need to unroll the sock from your hair.
When you wake up the next morning, you should be able to remove the bun.If you pull on your hair too hard, you may pull out some of the curls.
Step 12: Remove the elastic and shake the curls.
Pull out the elastic securing the ponytail after you have removed the socks.You can loosen the curls by shaking your head.You may end up pulling your hair out if you brush through it.If there are any tangles, use your fingers to comb through your hair.
Step 13: Administer a spray to the hair.
The curls will last most of the day on their own, but you may want to give them some help.To keep your hair in place throughout the day, lightly spray it with a lightweight, flexible hold hairspray.If your hair is easy to fall out of, use a texturizing spray.Curls can fall out if the hairspray is too heavy for your hair.
