@fi G it doesn't have to be so long you can make a smaller donut by using a smaller sock, or role sock until the middle then cut off the excess... If your hair is long enough to make a ponytail, instead of splitting the hair in two parts as in step 5 then brushing to cover the sock, with short hair what you'd do is push all the hair forward, secure with band, then brush to cover the back of the sock... Since the hair is short is wayyyyyy easier to tuck under the sock or you can simply twist it and pin it... I'm going to do a video to show how it's done... Stay tuned :-)

@kelly you're absolutely right but I wanted to show that the hair actually covered the whole sock to demonstrate that the technique worked!! But I totally agree

Maybe a brown or black sock would be good to use just in case the hair moves around. You won't see the brown sock through the hair as easily.

@tiffany if you google sock bun you will find some videos on how to do it but the girls doing it have straight hair and though it looks gorgeous it doesn't end up looking a perfect as this with the method they use... I have very curly hair so their method doesn't work for me therefore I changed it up a bit by brushing the hair straight to cover the sock then securing it with hair ties.., when you twist the remainder of the hair twist them really really tight of course the hair covering the sock will move but you can fix that afterwards... Tuck the twists under the donut (sock) then brush the hair again to cover the donut if it's showing and you're done trust me it works and looks sooo perfect you have no strands sticking out its awesome I do hope it works for you ;-)
