Disney Princess Inspired Sock Bun

Beauty inspiration from a Disney princess? Sounds crazy, but it is actually true. When we were younger watching our favorite Disney princesses take over our the screens of almost every young girl's television set we never once thought about their hairstyles....it was more along the lines of "Oh wow those mice can sing!" 

Enter the era of the sock bun. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to your everyday girl can be seen wearing this trend. It is funny to think that the looks of the princesses we used to idolize are now coming through in today's fashion trends, of course a little more updated. This is SO easy to make and once you get the hang of it, it is so easy to use also. Read on to learn how to get that Mulan inspired bun!

Materials you will need: scissors, elastic hair tie, one old sock (perfect opportunity to get rid of a sock that is missing it's match)

Step 1: Take the sock and cut off the top and bottom so that you are left with one tube.

Step 2: Slowly roll the sock down all the way from top to bottom. If the sock is not smooth enough you might need to turn it inside out before rolling it down. 

This is what your sock bun should look like once you have rolled it all the way down, kind of like a little bagel.

Step 3: Put your hair into a sleek high ponytail.

Step 4: Pull your hair through the sock bun, but only at the very top. Do not pull the sock bun all the way down to the hair tie. 

Step 5: This part can get tricky. Start pulling the hair down over the sock bun and tucking it up underneath. Keep rolling the sock bun down as you do this. 

Step 5: Continue rolling the sock bun down the ponytail and tucking the hair underneath. The more you roll the sock bun down the more the hair will cover the sock. 

Step 6: Once you have rolled the sock bun all the way down to the hair tie the hair should be completely covering the sock bun. 

Here is the final look! Perfect for those days when you are feeling too lazy to have to style your hair and so simple!
