Step 1: Tip your head forward to expose the hair at the nape of your neck.
Step 2: Part your hair from ear to ear into two sections.
Step 3: Start a normal braid. Divide the hair at the nape of your neck into three sections. Cross the left section over the middle one. Next, cross the right section over the middle one. Then start doing a French braid.
Step 4: Stop braiding when you reach the tips of your ears. Tie the braid off with a hair elastic. Sit upright. Your hair will fall back down your back. Now tie your top section of hair into a messy bun. Remember to hide the elastic with wisps of hair to create a messy bun.

| Full Sock Bun |
|
Try this simple sock bun to create the perfect “full” bun!
|
 |
|
STEP 1: Select a sock. Remove the toe-end of the sock using sharp fabric scissors.
STEP 2: Put your hair in a ponytail. Roll up the sock so that it is donut or ring shaped, and slip it over the ponytail. Pull it to the base of the ponytail so that all of the hair is gathered inside of it.
STEP 3: Pull the sock to the ends of your hair. Once all the hair is gathered inside the sock, pull it as close to the ends as you can. Tuck the hair around the side and into the center of the bun.
STEP 4: Roll the sock down. Hold the ends of your hair at the center of the sock and roll the fabric down towards the base of the ponytail. The hair will gather in a ring around the sock. Rotate the sock as you roll it down so that it is completely covered by your hair.
STEP 5: When the sock has reached the base of the ponytail, tug on the edges and adjust them so that none of the sock can be seen through your hair. Use bobby pins to secure the bun to your scalp if it feels loose.
