A simple top knot

Thursday, October 12, 2017

True story: my husband does my sock buns. So what am I to do when he isn't with me and I am too lazy to straighten my hair and fight the NC humidity? A messy top knot! I am the world's worst at doing hair, so I guarantee that if I can do this, you can too! It's super easy and gives you a put together, dramatic look that you won't have to touch all night long.


Step 1: put your hair in a high ponytail.
Step 2: tease the mess out of it! I use this teaser. Take small sections of your ponytail and tease until it looks like you stuck your finger in an electrical socket. The bigger the better!
Step 3: twist and pin. Just wrap your teased hair until it looks like a bee hive and stick lots of bobby pins in it. Since it is teased you shouldn't have many fly-aways or loose pieces.
Step 4: hairspray to hold it. So easy!

  1. Omg I used to love a sock bun!! I've got to bring that sucker back haha. This bun looks great! I'm afraid with as long and thick as my hair is it would look like a legit beehive haha. Your bun looks darling, a perfect hair do for a hot/humid day/night!
