The sock bun is a hot fashion trend that many women love to pull on and off. Whether you have thick or thin hair there are a few simple tips to keep your bun style looking as great as the day you first pulled it off. Since this fashion trend has been around for several years, there are many variations that you can try out. Here are just some of the things you can do with your own short hair to make them look even better.
The first thing you need to do is choose a good tutorial. There are many on the market and not all of them are the same. There are some that work best for thin hair and some for thick hair so be sure you choose a tutorial that works best for your particular type of hair. Using an old pair of athletic socks as your base is a great idea since the elasticity is fine and they work well for thin hair too. If you use an elasticized sock with slightly stretched out elastic, you will have slightly looser curls.
Another great way to keep your sock bun curls is to actually perform the curl by rolling them into a ball. Use your fingers to roll them from the roots down. It will take a little bit of practice to get this part down but if you keep at it, you will eventually get it down. By rolling them into a ball, you will create separation between your curls. This will make them pop right off your head!
