Crafty ideas: How to make a hair doughnut, and use it

It's incredibly easy to get this hairstyle. Honest! 10 minutes tops... and that includes making the sock bun.



As I've given up all hope of finding a proper hair doughnut in Malaysia so I decided to make a sock-bun version of my own. It's not hard. First take an old black stocking and cut off as high as possible at the thigh and slit open the toe area:


Then roll it into a donut shape:


Next follow these easy peasy instructions:







And substitute these pins from Daiso (RM5) instead of bobby pins for extra pretty:

Wow! Your hair is very lovely and thick.

Just a suggestion. Maybe u can do some posts on how you tie your hair in different styles. Will be very interesting. I enjoy this post. Nice Bun.

Lavender: Thank you! Cool that you love it. My hair isn't actually thick - the sock bun helps with the illusion. ;) I've been experimenting with ways to put my hair up so every now and then I'll post up a new style.

Tine: YES its' SO easy woman! I can't shoot the back of my head so I have no proof how fast I can do it. But at FIRST try it was perfect.
