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!

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
