I've gotten a few requests lately for a tutorial on how I do my near-daily bun; long-time readers may remember a bun-tutorial video I posted some months ago (you can find it at the bottom of this post), but as I've picked up some new readers since then (yay! welcome!) and I've substantially changed my bun technique, I thought it would be worthwhile to just make a new tutorial. Enjoy!
The sock-bun technique works best with a sock that's the same color as your hair or a shade darker, as it will be harder to see in case you end up with any gaps. You can also rough up your ponytail a little first for a messier look, or if you want to make it extra fancy (and have longer hair) you could even wrap a small braid around the base of the bun.
This just blew my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect! I have been looking for easy ways to do a cute and chic bun. Thanks so much for sharing! I can't wait to give this a shot!
ReplyDeletethat is so clever! your signature bun is so cute and pretty. my hair just touches my shoulders right now, and i will use this opportunity to admit that once i started reading your blog, i decided i have to grow my hair a bit longer just so i can wear it in a bun! i'm pumped to learn this sock trick so that i can do it sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously great. I have hair about the same length as yours, and wear my hair in buns all the time for work. I'm trying this as soon as I get my hands on a "brunette" sock!
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart! I bought a net-type thing that looks exactly like your sock but probably costs more, unfortunately and I used it all the time when I had longer hair! Now, my hair's shorter, so it's pretty hard, but I'll have to try your technique and maybe it'll end up small enough to work with my hair!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis is genius. My hair is far too short for a bun, but if I still had long hair, I would be all over this.
ReplyDeletewow, i just tried it and i love how it looks :) thanks for the tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH> I had no idea you were wearing a sock in your hair! You've quite literally blown my mind right now! Is this how you did your bun when we hung out? Because i totally couldn't tell. Wow. So impressed!!! Must try immediately!!
ReplyDeletei'm always on the hunt for different kinds of bun-styles. thanks for sharing this - excellent!
ReplyDeletewhoa this is truly awesome. i want to try this on my hair even though it is super long because when i wrap it around too much it starts to unwrap itself (this sentence makes little to no sense now that i've written it but oh well...).
ReplyDeletealso you're even more beautiful on video!
OMG, that is the most clever thing I've ever seen! I can't wait to try it out! :)
ReplyDeleteWell I'll be damned!! (that was the first exclamation that popped in my head) That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. For serious. And so about to go try this out.
ReplyDeleteGenius! That is amazing! So happy I stumbled onto your blog today, definitely a follower now
ReplyDeleteThis is the only hair tutorial I have ever been able to re-create at home. My bun looks amazing! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered how you get that perfect looking knot! How have I never heard of this before?! It's genius!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I will need to let my hair grow out a little more before I'm able to take advantage of the sock trick, but I've bookmarked this for future use. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteso easy! so clever! and our hair is close to the same length...ie not that long. thank you!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks so much! I will definitely be trying this.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is so great!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Now I just need to find a 'blonde' sock!!!
ReplyDeleteMe again! As I said, I needed to find a 'blonde' sock. I searched my sock draw, and found a tan stocking. I cut this us and used it - which worked really well, as it wasn't as thick as a sock, which helped, as my hair is quite short! Thanks again Emily!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally trying this when I get home. This literally BLEW MY MIND.
Great video, thanks for posting this! I saw a similar how-to somewhere with double buns where you use socks, too.
ReplyDeletethis is great! I am a little sad I cut off all my hair now.
ReplyDelete(!!!!!!!) I have never found a bun technique that worked for my crazy thick, wavy/straight/curly, schizophrenic hair, and you have totally changed that in mere minutes! I made a not too awful looking bun on my 1st, yes FIRST, try. Thanks Emily, you are super neat!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so doing this once my hair is long enough! Time to start looking for red hair coloured socks now...
ReplyDeleteawesome! I though your har looked great down too. Maybe try a half-up?
ReplyDeleteI totally do the sock bun too! Yay!
ReplyDeletethankyou, it's beautiful
ReplyDeletecan you do all video posts from now on? kthx.
ReplyDeletei have never heard of this sock bun thing! what the...?! i am literally getting up and trying this as soon as im finished typing. Mark can sacrifice a sock for the greater good.
i'm grabbing a sock right now i'll try it out but i think my hair is too short to have the super effect you have. aw love it!
ReplyDeletedid it. love it. :)
ReplyDeletethis is absolutely brilliant. luckily (?), I have way too much hair than i know what to do with and don't require a sock, but i am forwarding this to my sister now ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I tried it last night and it turned out perfectly! I have never been able to do a very good bun until this - thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh! How did I not know this. That is the perfect bun.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is crazy creative!!
ReplyDeleteSo great! just tried it and it works so good, my hair is pretty long but thin and now it looks like it was so much fuller!
ReplyDeleteI've done the same, but since my hair is fine I doubled the knee sock over and back combed my hair. It is not as dramatic but still an improvement!
ReplyDeleteI have super long long with tons of layers, and my buns had always ended up looking like a frizzy turd. Thanks so much for this tutorial. My bun is now beautiful.
ReplyDeletethat would be long hair. not long long. o my.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
ReplyDeleteo.m.g. this is brilliant and awesome and just so cool! someone pinned this on pinterest and i had to check it out. this looks so easy, too! i am going to try this after i shower and get ready for work tonight! it's summer here in TX and so darn hot that i am almost always wearing my hair up. if not in a pony then in a messy bun that i just twist together. so glad there is an easy way to transform my sloppy bun into a nice neat sleek one. my hair is on the short side, but not too short- i don't think- that i couldn't do this. must locate a brown sock. i'm sure someone in this house has one they don't mind sacrificing. :) thanks so much! and bookmarked your blog to come check often!
ReplyDeletedanielle
That is just epic! So now I can steal your hair too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial! I am wearing the bun right now! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I'm going to try it today!
ReplyDeleteoh.my.gosh. thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing EVER! Making my short thin hair look longer and thicker? Yes please! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteEEK! So. simple. Thank you very much for the tutorial! I will give this a go.

o....m....g..... after months of seeing girls with huge buns and being super jealous that I could not achieve said bun......THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI've short hair and I wanted a bun but it looks imposible 'till today! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI've short hair and I wanted a bun but it looks imposible 'till today! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteIf this one doesn't work for your long hair, try googling the fully rolled sock bun. Mine's nearly classic length and it works well. That said, I'm book marking this technique for when I cut it!
ReplyDeleteoh my god. you just made me so happy!!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! Can't wait to try it :)
ReplyDeletei love this!! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletegreat idea- what a beautiful bun!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the army and we must wear a neat bun while in uniform. I used a sock bun all the time when my hair was shorter. It looks perfect and no weird poakies. I do it every so often now with longer hair. And it looks great still
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for the perfect way to make a bun for a few weeks and this is just perfect! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteso awesome! I used to wear the hair doughnuts to achieve this same look, back when I was a dancer.
ReplyDeleteI think I might actually prefer the sock method, because the hair doughnuts are grey and stiff, whereas you socks are soft and you can get them in brown.
So rad!
ReplyDeleteLove the bun! Also, could you tell me where you got those earrings in the top picture? I've been searching for some just like them.
ReplyDeleteI love you. heehee. Thanks for sharing this video - I am going to go sacrifice some socks.
ReplyDeleteFound you from Iheartnaptime! LOVE this. I've seen a few variations but yours looks gorgeous and totally do-able!! THANKS!

ReplyDeleteIt WORKS!!! I am wearing one now and it's super cute! I like it much better than the sponge-thing I used to use for the perfect bun.
ReplyDelete~*B*~
I just tried this with a scrunchy (yes I own some old scrunchies) and got the same effect. I have super thin hair and have a lot of trouble finding new things to do with it but this totally worked! This is AWESOME! Thanks a million!
