Braids And The Sock Bun

Since braids are making plenty of waves, we would incorporate the braid with a sock bun to create a very feminine and delicate look. Begin by applying enough of mousse on the hair to set the strands. Now with the help of a tail comb, section the crown area of the hair from the front area. The front area should be braided sideways and pinned to the nape of the neck. Next step would be to take the sock and with it to tie a ponytail. Wrap the ponytail where the braid meets the nape of the neck into a low bun. Pin the two and set it with hair spray. Your easy sock braided bun is done.

The Tube Sock Bun

An easiest way to do the tube sock bun without spending much time would be to use a doughnut hair accessory. Start by applying enough of mousse on the hair for the setting to happen, and then comb all the hair backwards into a high ponytail. When you culminate the hair onto the crown of the head, put all the hair through the doughnut and form a ponytail. Tease and back brush the flowing hair to form beach waves, and then wrap it around the doughnut accessory to form a tube sock bun.
