sock bun curls for fashion friday

Hair is a vital part of personal fashion. I know this. But lately I am just so tired of doing mine. Looking good is sometimes sacrificed on the alter of the snooze button, unfortunately. So I welcome any chance to cut the prep time. Especially if it (a) will still look awesome, (b) allows me to shower at night and sleep on wet hair without wreaking havoc in the morning, and (c) saves my hair from the damage caused by all the curling, straightening, blow-drying, and hairspraying I do on the daily. So, if you are even a little bit like me, this may be worth a shot:

First watch this...

 

Then watch this...


Then try it at home...


 Ta-da! You're a pro!

(Try to ignore the ridiculous face I'm doing. 
My only defense is that I had 5 seconds to take this picture. 
It's so hard to take a pic in a public restroom without getting caught. 
So hard.)

Have a happy, adventurous, luxuriously long weekend!

  1. Holy heckness this is amazing! I was thinking the whole time - that totally wouldn't work on my hair because it doesn't hold curl. Quite literally one side of my head will be flat by the time I make it to the other side with the curling iron. Then like she read my mind the girl on the video says, "when I curl my hair with a curling iron its straight in about an hour; but when I curl it like this it stays curled all day!" Um... yes I will try this! My hair is probably tired of being in a bun 24/7.

  2. Did your hair dry after you slept on it wet?

  3. If it's still a little damp, I try to blow-dry it the rest of the way before taking it out.
