Here at the WC, you will often find us with big buns … on top of our heads. In order to spruce ourselves up a bit, we really should start going for a more polished look with a Sock Bun. Erica from 1011 Makeup shows us how incredibly easy it is to give yourself a plumper bun … on top of your head. It is so easy there is no excuse that we should not be sporting a sock bun everyday.
You just might be interested in our new creation The Soxy | The Ultimate Sock Bun Accessory. A perfectly stitched knit ‘donut’ for the perfect sock bun in white, brown and black.
Read on for the diy sock bun tutorial from 1011 Makeup. It so easy that you have to try it. Don’t forget about The Soxy | The Ultimate Sock Bun Accessory.
Step One:
Take a sock and cut the toe off. The thicker the the sock, the larger the bun. Try to use a sock that is similar to your hair color (light sock for light hair, etc.). Starting from the area you cut, roll the sock down, tightly, to form a doughnut shape. H&M also offers a cheater version of the doughnut.
Step Two:
Brush out your hair and secure hair into a ponytail with an elastic band. Where you place your ponytail will be where the center of the bun rests. The higher the pony tail, the higher the bun placement. You can smooth out the hair, creating a sleeker ponytail for a more elegant bun, or allow a few wispy pieces, for a less kept, playful bun.
Step Three:
Take the sock you rolled and pull the hair from the ponytail through the center of the doughnut, and spread the ends of the hair around the doughnut. You will start rolling the doughnut down the hair, starting from the ends of the hair and rolling to the base of the ponytail. As you roll, continue tucking and spreading the hair under and around the doughnut. Don’t give up, it may seem like it isn’t working but it is :)
If you have lots of layers, or very straight hair, you can slightly back comb the hair in the ponytail, prior to rolling, to help with keeping the hair together as you roll the hair down.
Once you have rolled the hair completely, and the bun is resting in place, you can use the end of a comb to tuck any pieces out of place into, and under, the bun. Use bobby pins and hair pins to secure the bun (placing them under the bun to help hold in place, securing any loose pieces). Check to make sure there are no places where the sock is visible. If you can see the sock, just spread the hair and secure with a pin.
Spray with a light finishing spray.

Absolutely LOVING this bridal hair idea from The Wedding Chicks …… http://t.co/asajOPWf
@sweet_icedT It’s SUPER easy with the help of a sock with the toe area cut out. :) Found a tutorial for ya: http://t.co/dH5LxvSE
OMG this is GENIUS!! I have really thin hair that makes for a pathetic bun but this DIY made my bun fat and FABULOUS! It was so easy and it gave my worn, old socks a new life. Love this!
Aaah I LOVE Pinterest its what brought me here i’m literally sitting infront of the computer doing this now I have a feeling this may take a while to get good but I love how its turning out already such a good idea!! Thank you! :D
When I was first learning how to do the sock bun, I was having trouble getting the hair stuck under the sock in order to start rolling. But if you curl the ends a bit with a curling iron, that makes it super-easy!
I wish I could show y’all the bad ass sock bun I just did. First time. Nailed it. What a good tutorial!
Ive watched other tutorials with no luck but I got it first try with this. Love it!
Also if you slightly dampen the hair before rolling and leave it in a few hours or overnight, you’ll end up with beautiful curls when you take it out!
This was so slick! I needed a classy, elegant look & this fit the bill -thanks for the detailed tutorial -worked like a charm!
Why cant i do this?! :’(
I always wondered how chicks did this, so pretty
This was so easy to follow! and it gave me a super cute look for work :’) Thanks guys!
Cutee:) I do this all the time
This is so cool and it looks great!
I quit. Every sock bun tutorial I’ve tried just doesn’t work on my ridiculous hair. It’s thick, wavy and has a few long layers that prevent me from doing anything, with or without appliances. Heck, even hair stylists think my hair is stubborn! Sigh. I was so hopeful that this one would work :(
why?
#YOLO
Have you tried using a hair donut instead? BunQueen.com has them in blonde, brunette, and black in 3 different sizes!
First look at this and I was all “OMG! This is beautiful, definitely have to try this!” but after half and hour of trying and failing, I never want to try this sock bun thing again. *Cries*
How about for medium hair because my hair is bra strap length
Email me at: Nataniajames@yahoo.com thnx:)
wow…!!! so cute i love it, i might try it but my hair is a pain in the butt
A lot of the girls at my school do this and its so cute
love it!
GOOD
Doesn’t work…
Omg! Thank you so much! I didn’t know how to do it and now I do! I will definately recomend this website!
Love this look!
h i its wonderful nice bun i like it so much
Love the bun and tutorial! But may I also ask, where is the red sweater from? I LOVE the sweater!
They also have giant round scrunchi-like things for sock buns at H&M for $3.50!
Great step by step photos and instructions but I have to admit I had to give up using just a sock to pull off this look. I have fine hair with shorter layers and when I was using just a sock my bun was flat and not at all voluminous….but luckily a friend told me about The Hunny Bun and I was able to achieve such a fabulous bun! They have 3 different sizes and colors so you get the bun you need for your hair type/style. I use the Medium Hunny Bun…all the time! Check them out and save yourself some time and frustration trying to make the sock give you a perfect bun! At only $10, it’s well worth it! Good luck ladies! :)
i love this website so much its the best ever
ur the best
Thanks so much
I think this is a really cute and easy hairstyles and this explains it reallly well I would give this a definite 10/10
i was wondering if i could do this for my conformation but i can’t do it by myself would my hair dresser know how?
Gracie- I’m tellin’ ya girl- don’t go to your salon with a sock! hehe Try The Hunny Bun at home and see if you can recreate this look yourself!! So worth the $10 and it works!! Good luck and congrats on your confirmation!
i loved it. i am doing a school project and i needed resources and this was great
Thank You
