The bun can be high on the head or down low. Where ever you want your bun to be that is where you need to make your ponytail. I wanted mine lower on my head so that is where I have it. Make sure it is tight so the elastic band won’t just slip off. I like to spritz my hair with a bit of water before I make the bun. This will make curls or waves for when you take the bun out. Pretty easy. So, here we go.
Step:1 Start with a pony-tail.
Step: 2 Pull your hair through the sock thing-y ( You can buy a sock bun thing or you can take the toe off of a sock and roll it up from the toe to the top and it will make a great sock bun form. A more mens sporty sock will of course give you a bigger bun a dress sock will give you a smaller bun.) and pull it to the bottom ends of your hair.
Step: 3 This is where the spritz of water helps. You then fold the ends of your hair over and tuck them under the sock as above. Try to get all the ends in the bun.
Step 4: Fold the sock & hair outward moving up the ponytail so that more hair is wrapped.
Step: 5 Stick your thumbs into the center and flip it inside out again and again working your way up the ponytail.
Step: 6 Keep flipping try to keep the hair pretty tight.
Step: 7 Here is where it gets a little trickier. You need to keep the hair between the back of your head and the bun pretty straight while still twisting the hair around the bun piece and grab any shorter hair that would be loose ends and put in the bun.
Step: 8 Fold one last time so that bun is snug against your head like the picture above
You can finish off if you want with a hair spray or mousse to just hold it if you have lots of little ends but other than that, it is done. If you find it loosening up just fold it in tighter during the day. This needs no bobby pins or any fasteners. Enjoy! Let us know what you think. Share your pictures with us!
