The morning after

It's out!  It's out!  What you may ask?  Well, if you're just tuning in, I suppose I should explain my excitement.  The sock bun is out.  I woke up this morning, after an incredibly rested sleep, brushed my teeth, put my face on and decided "Okay, it's time, now or never!" and removed my hair that was in the sock bun (kind of reminded me of a donut, really pretty and vintage ;)).

My verdict?  It's absolutely awesome.  If you're like me, and hate the tedious task of actually using flat-irons and curling irons then this is the method for you.  I will say this though, I should have been a little more tidy with some of the pieces I tucked into the bun, there are a couple of pieces that look like I just got electrocuted.  Majority of my hair is gorgeous, big and small curls, definitely a natural look.  

Although it's said to be an overnight method, I really don't see why it can't be an all day method.  By this I mean that if you know you've got plans later on.... Wake up, shower, blow dry your hair just so it's damp enough (NOT SOAKING) and just put your hair up in the bun.  I mean sure it looks a little silly, totally old school and like something old women would stile there hair like but in all honest, it's not like walking out with curlers in your hair, hehe. Besides, no one can see the sock!  

So there ya have it, the sock bun worked it's magic and my hair is pretty and wavy and curly.  I'm pretty impressed and happy.  Homework beckons.  

-D.

Sock bun curls. Yep, that's right.

I find myself writing an hour too late.  The last couple of entries I've written exactly when I've wanted to (well, the same day I did what I talked about lol).  However, today was just kind of really hectic.

Prior to the hectic mess of a day I woke up with my puppy snuggled up against me with her head on my shoulder.  She melts my heart.  Truly melts my heart.  She is my baby.  She even knows when I'm starting to get ready it usually means I'm going to leave for an hour or two or more and starts looking up at me whining.  Hehe.  ANYWAYS...  I got a little side tracked there.  When I realized she was snuggled and sleeping I decided to go ahead and get a daily dose of my addiction (for those of you who know me, no I do not mean coffee).  Lately I've been incredibly addicted to Pinterest - if you don't know what this is, go to it, NOW.  While going through the Style pins I came  across one labeled "Sock bun curls".  I was intrigued, the curls were absolutely gorgeous and came from using a sock?  Huh?!  I clicked and found that a how-to video was also posted, thank you, _______ because reading how-tos when it comes to hair doesn't work for me.

After watching the video I was even more intrigued.  Why?  Well, I have long, thick and wavy-ish hair and lots of it.  So curling it with a flat-iron or curling iron just takes way too long.  This on the other hand seemed quick, easy and comfortable (BONUS!).  I bet you're interested now, if you haven't heard of this technique that is.  I'd love to do a little how to about it but I believe that this video posted on YouTube is pretty darn straight forward.  I'm ranting and raving after only a short go at this but even the little amount I left my hair in it for turned out spectacular.  I've put my hair up in the sock bun again just a couple of hours ago, I'll post more pictures of it tomorrow.


Wish me luck (;
