I’ve seen a lot of girls with straight hair rock the Sock Bun and always wondered if it would work with my curly hair.
A tutorial for the curious by MrKate
I didn’t realize how easy it was to complete the hairdo using only two hair ties, a sock and a few bobby pins. After about a minute my Sock Bun was complete and left me feeling quite elegant. An updo that I would wear out to dinner.
So yes, works great with curly hair!
Love & laughter,

love the video!!!
This is my favorite style right now and perfect for scarf wearing too since your hair does not get all tangled in it!
Completely agree! I love scarves and my hair is always getting caught up in them. Sock Bun to the rescue 🙂
Love these buns! I go for a messy one myself. 🙂
Very cute; I have a mini version of this hair do today since my hair isn’t long enough yet.
Must look great on you! 🙂 I just cut my hair and didn’t realize it would be difficult getting it back into a curly bun, lol.
Now we know what to do with those mysterious single socks that keep replacing the pairs in our sock drawer!
Indeed! I’ve also found a use for all the pantyhose that have runs and tears. 🙂
What?! It’s a SOCK?! This…this has changed my view of this hairstyle. I wish I could do this with my flimsy fine hair!
That seriously blew my mind. I always wondered how people’s hair seemed to magnify when they had it in a bun! Mystery solved! I may have to try this with my dreads…though I do not have high hopes 🙂
I started doing this when I joined the military. I’d seen quite a few women with this flawless up-do and was amazed to learn it was a sock. If you ever want to be Princess Leia for halloween – just use two. 🙂 Amazing blog – I love your style and stories!
