Sock Bun Tutorial

Just as promised in my last post! I have a simple tutorial for a Sock Bun! This sweet hairstyle is super cute for the holidays! Not everyone has one of those round hair things called "Donuts" and I don't have one either. Why spend money on something you can make from scratch?
All you need is an old clean sock and a hair pin/clip to create one! The color doesn't matter that much (obviously since mine is pink) but neutrals would probably be a better choice. Darker haired gurlies don't have to worry about this as much.
First, take the edge of the sock that is sealed and put it into the open end.
 Now the sock should look like this:
To help prevent the sock from coming apart, secure the clip where the two ends of the sock meet.
There you have it! Your own costume donut! Now it's time for the hair style. For the best results, your air should be straight and the longer your hair, the better. The shortest your hair should be in this style is about three inches below your shoulders. Any shorter, the style will come apart before you can say "Sock!" Let's get started.
Put your hair into a HIGH ponytail.
Then, take the donut and put your hair through it. Leave it at the edge of the pony.
Now, roll your hair around the sock as if you are rolling up your sleeves.
Yeah, your hair is gonna look a bit crazy. Spread your  hair evenly around the sock so until it' concealed.

Your hair is probably gonna look better than mine but, you get the idea. If you have shorted hair for this hairstyle, like mine, out i some bobby-pins so the bun stays in place. You have to put them on the bottom of the bun onto your scalp otherwise it will look sloppy and small. It's really pretty, right?! Add a sparkly head band for some glamor and your done!

Now, for some gorgeous manicure ideas for the holidays! I did them throughout the month and they are perfect for the Holidays!

My inspiration for this mani is from Cute Polish.  She has awesome ideas!
And this is a One Direction Mani I did on my BFF Emmy!
That's it for today! Happy Holidays to everyone! I'd like some ideas please! Email me at fashionprincessglitter@gmail.com Until next time,
Be bold, bright, and gorgeous!
