I have tried and failed miserably at rolling my hair around a sock. Girls, if you have layers in your hair, you know what I mean! I was so envious of all of the women who had cute buns in their hair. I had to be able to do it with mine!
So I was on the hunt. The hunt to figure out the best way to style my hair in an adorable top bun! I came across a really great tutorial for a sock free "sock bun" that looks exactly the same, and can be dressed up for a classy event. I found it on The Small Things Blog! Christina from Carolina Charm also shared how to do this style.
So, I tried it out!
I loved how it turned out! The only problem, my hair is sooo long! Like, middle of my back long, and the whole process on rolling my foot long hair into a bun was actually very time consuming!
So my hunt began again...
I was looking for a bun that was easy AND a little more casual.
Basically, you put your hair in a high pony, take sections of the pony and "rat" the strand of hair. After you have "ratted" your entire pony, you simply wrap the pony into a bun until you've achieved your desired look! Because of the volume of your ratted hair, the pony is really workable and holds into a bun extremely well. I only had to use a couple of bobby pins :)
This is now my go to bun style. I love it. It's super easy, fast, and a great casual top bun that you can wear every day :) I hope you long haired girls try this one out. I think you'll like it!
