Volume-Boosting Sock Buns You’ll Love to Try
How to Do the Sock Bun?
- Prepare the sock: steal one from your boyfriend or dad and cut the toe part off the sock. You need a sock with a tight band for a better hold of the updo. Roll the sock down to make a donut.
- Pull your hair back into a ponytail and brush it.
- Holding the ponytail up or at an angle, pull its end through the donut. Wrap the end around the donut once and tuck it under the band of the sock to stay in place.
- Now turn the donut over and over, moving down towards the base of the ponytail, letting the hair to wrap around along the way. Try to cover the sock and distribute the hair evenly.
- Use bobby pins if needed.
The Sock Bun for Layered Hair
The problem frequently occurring to layered hair that is put into a sock bun is many uneven pieces that fall down out of the bun. These can get really annoying, and you need to wrap them around the bun and pin in place.
A fix for this problem is a sock that you roll down from the cut off end to the heel and past the heel, but not all the way down to the band. Holding the sock with the band down, pull your pony through it. Start rolling the sock with the hair towards the base of your pony. The layers will get in without problem, and the bun will hold without any bobby pins!
The Sock Bun for Shorter Black Hair
Girls with shorter hair, naturalistas, we know you also love this elegant look, and we’ve got you covered. If your hair is too short or thin to cover the sock or donut, braiding hair is the way to go. Use Kanekalon hair for a smoother look or kinky twist hair for a textured bun. Wrap a piece of braiding hair around the donut to cover it completely. Use hair glue to secure the hair on the donut.
Pull your hair back into a ponytail, positioning it as you want – low, high, or to the side. Pull your pony through the wrapped donut and then spread your natural hair from the pony over the donut. Secure with an elastic or bobby pins.
Products to Use for the Sock Bun
The sock bun is not demanding to the choice of products. You can really go without any products at all, but if you wish, you can apply some dry shampoo and backcomb your hair for texture before you begin. For the shiny finish, use some smoothing pomade or hairspray, especially if you have straight hair that gives many flyaways and you just want to tame them and get a nice, smooth bun.
