the thirties grind

Is that a sock in your hair or are you happy to see me? The secret to no more bad hair days!

As a working mom, I am always running out of the house in the morning with my hair half done (if I even get a chance to brush it).  My cousin recently told me about a way to do my hair that is simple, fast and requires minimal tools.  The Sock Bun!!

I finally tried this simple up-do this morning, with really great results.  Here are the simple steps:

1. Find a sock that is close to your hair colour
2. Cut off the toe of the sock
3. Roll the sock from the toe up to create a kind of “bagel”
4. Put your hair up in a high pony tail
5. Place the sock bagel at the tip of your ponytail (at the ends of the hair)
6. Roll hair from the end tips around the sock bagel down towards the crown
7. Fasten the sock bun with a few bobby pins and set with hairspray.

There is a super easy video tutorial on how to do this by Mr. Kate (warning, she’s kind of annoying):

That’s it…no more bad hair days!
