Sock inna Bun

A while back, I saw a tutorial for a no-heat curl method that actually worked and only requires a hair band and an old sock. I've used it many times and have recommended it to anyone and everyone. If you're going to give the Sock Bun a try, I can't stress how important it is, particularly if you have a lot of hair like me, that you ensure your hair is almost completely dry otherwise it will still be wet when you take the bun down. I've also found it's also easier to roll if ever so slightly damp.

And here's my results, using absolutely no product at all:

After washing and (mostly) drying, pre-bed time

If I'm due to go out and want my hair down, sans frizz, then I tend to wear the bun during the day rather than sleep in it and I take it down just before heading off - just make sure your sock matches or is as close to your hair colour as possible so that if it does become visible for any reason it won't be glaringly obvious. Perfect curls every time.

The title of this post is a dubious nod to one of my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett. I'm sure I could've come up with something that didn't relate to Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler and his sausage inna bun but that probably wouldn't have amused me as much.

Thanks for stopping by,
