DIY: Sock Donut

Okay...I would've done a whole DIY/sock bun making tutorial but it's ridiculously difficult taking a picture of the back of your head & pictures of mid-hair-styling. Primp & Wear does a cool job giving a sock bun hairstyle tutorial. Check it out cause it's awesome. In the meantime, I will give my own rendition of making a sock bun thing. 

Materials: bobby pins (for keeping hair in place), scissors, tube sock (I used my dad's old sock since my parents' closets are my favorite places to go shopping)

Cut the sock half-way down the foot since the tube part of this tube sock was not long enough to make a good-sized bun. If the tube (ribbed part of the sock) is 10 inches or less, cut halfway down the foot part. If the tube is more than 10 inches, cut off the tube at the ankle of the sock.

Start at ribbed end and roll the sock in an outward fashion down toward the other end.

Roll all the way to the end and...

Here's your hair donut! I like the rough texture of the inside of the sock because it makes good contact with your hair to hold it in the bun. Put your hair into a pony, follow Primp & Wear's tutorial, and use bobby pins to secure the bun. If you have a lot of hair (like me), you can probably skip the bobby pins.

Enjoy!
