Wet to Set -- The Sock Bun



If you've seen a few of our videos, you may have noticed that I have an obsession with
hiding bobby pins. And as strong as that tendency is, 
I think Bella's obsession with symmetry is even stronger.

She's constantly pinning and re-pinning strands until she achieves perfect symmetry

So when we discovered using an ordinary tube sock can make a perfectly symmetrical bun...every time! We were in heaven. (Well, I was in heaven.
She was the new poster child for Symmetry Town).

We love sock buns. They take two seconds, work great on wet hair,
and turn out cute 100% of the time. 
Just like a cute little donut. And who can resist a donut?

  4. When I do this with my daughers thick hair, the bun sags a little bit (it isn't firm to her head)???

  5. I would try to roll it even another 1/2 turn to get it closer and then just fasten it to her head with a couple bobby pins. That should do the trick.

  8. Great post! I think your totally right about the brush out. I can't count the times where i have taken the time to set my hair and started to brush out, it's frizzed and i have given up with it haha. But there's nothing like pin curls for that authentic look ,,, hair salon prices
