Sock Bun: Part Deux

With the help of perfectly matched clip-in hair extensions, I'm able to do this more elegant version of a sock bun. I converted from an actual sock bun made from a light beige sock to a Conair Sock Bun Maker (available at Target). To get this look: 1) Put hair in pony tail 2) Place bun maker around pony tail, at the base (hair should be through hole of bun maker) 3) Spread hair from pony tail over bun maker, covering evenly so that the bun maker isn't visible 4) Wrap a hair tie around bun maker so that hair is still covering all of it 5) Take the hair that is sticking out from the bun and start wrapping it around bun 6) Use bobby pins to pin hair while you're wrapping it around to hold it in place 7) Voila! Fancy bun that takes less than 5 minutes to do and looks fabulous!

Sun's Out, Buns Out

I'm in the ever aggravating process of growing my hair out. All I want is a sock bun...is that too much for a girl to ask for? Don't worry...I'm too impatient to actually wait for butt-length hair to get world's best sock bun. So...I've created the best cheat system - use my extensions. To add a little length and thickness for select styles, clip hair extension at top of hair, teasing layers at a time. Then, continue on with creating your sassy sock bun. Sometime a girl just has to use her resources.
