The Perfect Sock Bun

I recently mustered up the patience and determination to spend quite a bit of time on a project I was dead-set on accomplishing: perfecting the sock bun. 😉

I have extremely thin hair, so I could never get my hair to cover all of the area around the sock. After I had watched what seemed like countless YouTube tutorials, I found this one by MakeupByTiffanyD, and decided to cut up an old (clean) sock, and give it a try.

And after many, many, many tries… this was my result!

I was literally so excited about it, when my younger sister came to visit that weekend I obviously had to try it on her hair. She has thick hair, and it took us a few attempts, but we eventually got it perfect!

This hairstyle has become my go-to, especially for my second day hair. It pulls together my outfits and gives my enormous earring collection their time to shine 🙂 Plus, with a little spritz of hairspray, it’s perfect for walking around the city.

Have you tried the sock bun? I’d love to see pictures! xx
