now i have to wait for my hair to grow out again to try it!
i am confused by box #4…. So after i cut off the end of a sock i tie the ends together? or what??
No, you should not tie the ends together.
Take one end and fold over the edge. Fold over the same edge again. And again. Until you have a doughnut. Here is an YouTube video to show you.
Hope that helped!

lol, thank you, I was wonder the same thing!
Yes thank you! I was wondering the same as well. I love it!
After few attempts I did it!!! Thanx to you!
Your video was most useful!
Your creativity is very fun to look at! Nice work
This is what Female Marines use to do their hair
Ive seen some HUGE buns sticking out from their covers (hats).
In the military we do the sock bun differently. This is the first time I’ve seen it like this… and much more complicated to get on a first try without fighting with it a lil first.
Just wanted to reply and say nice webpage, great to read from people with knowledge of this.

Ah-ha! So that’s how people with uber thin hair get that whopping big bun! I knew it was magic :-p I’m totally going to do this one day this week!
How do you take the bun out? (Sorry if this is the stupidest question ever, but I can’t wrap my brain about unwinding the hair!)
Also, there was a man in my church when I was a kid who always rolled his socks down like this and it was always weirded me out…but this is a much better use of rolled socks;-)
thank you so much! I tried this 5 minutes ao to wear for my university class cause I didn’t know what to do with my hair – it turned out awesome! totally easy! gonna make this more often from now on, thank you so much for this easy tutorial
We used your directions for my daughter’s Princess Leia costume this Halloween.
What a great hit!
this is so cool. I actually bought a bun-filler (basically a black spongey donut that is supposed to do the same thing as the sock) for like $0.75 in a korean beauty shop, but have has such a hard time using it. now i know how!!!
Wow! I tried this and it works!
do you use clips or a hairband to keep it together? x
Nothing
the bun is pretty sturdy as is.
This is so cool! I am super confused about how you actually formed the bun though. Did you thread your hair through the middle and wrap it?
It is very easy, watch this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13J7ArHTkM
this is fabulous! my usual, obnoixiously large bun is even BIGGER. life is good. thank you!

I’ve been doing ‘sock buns’ since middle school, and could never figure out how to get it so the sock doesn’t show, or how to get it so the ends weren’t poking out…I was always shown just push the sock all the way down on the pony, wrap the hair around and put a rubber band on. Great tutorial, so glad to finally know! lol

I’m frustrated. The directions are not clear enough, I cannot understand where to begin…
I have really thick medium length hair, a few inches past my shoulders. I did 2 sock buns since of the thickness of my hair and when I took them out my hair was a puff ball! My point is, I think this technique is made for longer hair, but my hair still looks good in the bun!
will this work with just above shoulder length hair?

i spent about an hour and a half yesterday trying to convince my mom that i needed to order this bun wrap thing off the tv – it did not work, and i have been lusting after beauteous buns for ages! i have pretty long hair, but it’s very fine, and all my buns end up floppy and weird. this is amazing! thank you so much!
How do I keep the sock from unraveling?
[...] 2. The Hair Donut Bun – what I love about this style is that it can turn my messy second day lifeless thin hair into a neat full looking bun. It also makes me look like a super professional. You can buy a hair donut at your local chemist or hair specialty store for under $5. The ones in the image above are from eBay for cheap. There are blonde, brown and black ones available to match your hair colour. If you want to make your own, you can use an old sock. Here is a great tutorial I found on Pinterest on how to make the sock bun – http://madeinpretoria.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/the-sock-bun-diy-big-hair-bun/ [...]
