A Sock Bun Curl tutorial has been making the rounds on Pinterest and though skeptical, I decided to give it a go. I can’t believe it actually worked! Hubs took a “before” picture of my hair:
And here’s the after picture I had to take myself the next morning.
I couldn’t believe it! My hair is so straight, I’ve literally spent hours on it with a curling iron (before Sweet T’s arrival of course!) only to have it fall out an hour later. These curls eventually fell out too, but thanks to a little hairspray it took about 8 hours for that to happen. All for about a minute and a half of work! I’m not going to post a tutorial since Kim at A Spotted Pony has done a great job with that already. She even has videos to help.
I did follow a couple of the commenter’s recommendations one of which was to use a rubber band for a pony tail holder then have Hubs cut it out after the sock was in place. No ponytail crease line that way!
Also I have a hard time getting the hair close to my scalp to curl so I just place a clip in so that it didn’t matter:
If you have easy-to-curl hair or naturally curly hair that just needs a little guidance, I’ll bet your results will be even more amazing! For a girl with stick-straight hair I’m pretty jazzed about the loose curls I’m able to have for so little effort.
Okay, so I have seen all those sock curled hair pictures on Pinterest and I was skeptical. Not any more! I am giving this a try now. I have wavey hair now and this would take up to the next level. Sweet and thanks!

Let me know how it turns out!
Your hair looks so pretty! It sounds like a great product! Thanks!
Wow!!! What a difference. It’s a lot better than spending hours with a curling iron. And, prettier too.
Beautiful! Thanks for trying and sharing this. Both me and my tween daughter have long hair, so we will have to give this a try!
How pretty! This has been on my list of “to do” forever now.
I’ve heard of this, but those are great pictures. I’ll have to try it sometime.
Ive used the sock bun too, and it works well on my naturally wavy hair.
I wnder what that method would do for my crazy curls… Would love for a more “relaxed look” to my hair!

I’d love to try this… your hair looks awesome.
Where did you get the instructions from?
Wow such a huge difference. My hair is the same it won’t hold curls that long, can’t believe they stayed in for 8 hours. I will need to try this!
