The Perfect Sock Bun

1) Tie hair in ponytail and place donut 2) loop ends of hair around donut 3) tuck ends 4) roll down to base 5) gather and pin.

Here’s the longer version with helpful tips:

1. Secure your hair in a high ponytail and pull the ponytail through the center of yoursock bun donut.
2. Place the donut about 1/2 way down the length of your ponytail and get ready to rock and roll.
3. Wrap the ponytail end around the donut once. With the remaining end of the ponytail, continue to wrap/tuck around the sock bun donut using your index finger and thumb to grab and pull the hair through the donut center.
   * Put your fingers through the center and use them to gather and pull the hair through. Trying to shove the hair through the center of the donut without catching with your index finger and thumb will result in a messy and loose bun.
   * At this point, it’s easier to move your hair in and through the donut center rather than trying to move or roll the donut.
4. Once the ends are wrapped around the donut, begin rolling the donut down the remainder of your hair. As if you’re rolling your sleeve, roll the sock bun down towards the base of the ponytail.
   * For this step, roll and move the donut down as opposed to step 3 where you’re just moving the hair.
   * Use the end of a comb to help tuck in the strands while you roll/wrap. Don’t worry too much about it being neat at this point. Just need those ends tucked and wrapped.
   * If the bun is too loose (too big), gently hold the entire bun with both hands and pull the rolled bun away from the base of the ponytail. This will tighten the hair around the donut, therefore tightening the bun. Start to roll/tuck again towards the base of your ponytail.
5. Gather the ends of the bun to close and complete the look. Use a couple of bobby pins to secure and tidy up the bun!
