So I had to join the sock bun curls hype and try it out for myself and I have used it at least once a week since. If you have not already worked it out I am a lazy hair styler. Maybe I am more time-poor than lazy but I am trying my best to add a little something extra to my hair on the rushed mornings.
Take a clean tube sock. I used the freebies I got from the Aeroplane, I knew I was saving these socks for something (I have around 50 toothbrushes too).
(updated to add the toothbrushes have been donated to my local women’s shelter)
Cut the top off the sock toe and roll it to make a thick rounded band like a donut. Basically you are making a bagel. Instead of using 100;s of hair roller you will be using one, the sock roll.
Then roll your hair into the sock doughnut band. For more photos of my redhead and the technique check out my Sock bun tutorial on Craftbits.com
Looking for tighter curls then try this Donut hair curler system. I also recommend adding a few fingertips of a curl enhancer
especially if the weather is humid or you plan to wear these curls out for the evening.
You can also try hair plopping for those who have curly hair already
