How-To: The Sock Bun

Details
Category: FP-Featured
Published: Wednesday, 05 March 2014 23:48

There is something to be said about the classic topknot bun. It’s been around for centuries.

 

 

 

The elegant, sophisticated look is making its way back into the fashion world. Inspired by celebrities such as Lauren Conrad, Reese Witherspoon, and Kate Bosworth, the bun has become the popular and rising trend (as you’ve seen me sporting the look in my videos).

 

At last—you can achieve this chic, sexy, and sophisticated look in just a few short seconds! I call this the Sock Bun look.

What you will need:

 

  • A sock or hair donut
  • Hair Elastic
  • A Brush
  • Bobby pins… to ensure your bun is secure if you’ll be working out like ME!
  • Hairspray (unless you want the ‘messy’ look—which works too)

 

Step 1 Brush hair into a high or low ponytail, depending on the look you want to achieve

Step 2 Place the sock or hair donut over the ponytail

 

 

Step 3 Wrap the ends of your hair underneath and roll the sock towards your head

My Tip: Gently backcomb your hair if you have layers

 

 

Step 4 Spread and tuck hair around the sock or hair donut

 

My Tip: Secure with pins if you’re doing an #FSS workout

Step 5 Finish with hairspray

 

 

 

 

*This how-to was adapted from The Beauty Thesis

 

Whether you’re on your way to the office, having brunch with the girls, or at the gym, this versatile yet glamorous hairstyle will take up less than 60 seconds of your time.

 

Leave a comment below letting me know if you have tried out this how-to. There’s so many ways to wear the bun. Share any TIPS & if you’d like to see my signature smoky eye that I LOVE to pair with this look—let me know!

 

Love,
