I really want to be able to do a sock bun but I just can't get it right. I can't get all of my hair covering it or neat like you always see. Any suggestions??

Try to comb your hair, add some light hairspray, or lightly damp. Maybe that helps:)

if you go to a drug store or target, they sell hair donuts for $3 which make the process much  easier

The sock bun can happen two ways. one way is to put your hair in a pony tail and put the sock through the hair, and fold over the sick and hair repetitively, and if there are mess ups, just use bobby pins and more binders. another way is to do the pony tail and put the sock through the hair, and just wrap the hair around the sock, with lots of binders. This hair styles works better with wet hair, I've noticed.

sometimes using dry shampoo or making your hair "dirtier" with products help to make it easier to work with when doing updos. there's several ways to do a sock bun but I find the best way to get the biggest perfect bun is to first use a sock that obviously is close to your hair color! cut off the toe and roll it up. then, put your hair in a high ponytail. put the sock around it and to the ends of your hair... then roll it down with the sock! this will be difficult and it may look messy but the closer you get to the elastic on your pony the better it will look!! it takes practice sometimes. once you have gotten to the end of rolling it, secure it with another elastic and put some hairspray on it! those are my best tips! good luck girly

I got this on amazon for less than a dollar. Not sure if it works though since I haven't got it yet but for under a dollar it's worth a try :p

@celeste bun makers like that one are amazing! And they leave you with super beautiful curls when you undo the bun ( way better than sock bun curls ;p)
