Select all. Discarding old socks is the best because then we will cut the fabric. You should choose ankle or half shin socks; If it is longer, it will form a thick roll inside, making the bun not beautiful. Short socks will help support and fix the bun easier.

Choose socks that are intact and not too ragged. We’re going to cut this sock, so if the sock is too old to be threaded, find another one or mend the tear.
Socks that are the same color as your hair are best because if the socks are accidentally exposed through the hair, it will also look better. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Cut the toe of the sock. Use sharp sewing scissors to remove the toe. The purpose of cutting is to create a tube of fabric from the sock, so you only need to cut just enough. Please cut along the seam (if any). Thus, the sock will have a straight and neat cut. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Tie your hair into a ponytail. Roll the sock into a circle or donut and then tuck it into the ends of your hair. Pull the sock loop down to the base so that all the hair is gathered inside. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

Pull the sock loop to the end of your hair. After the hair is gathered, pull the sock loop to the end of the hair so that the hair does not fall out. Wrap the ends of your hair around the rim of the sock and tuck it in the center of the bun. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

Scroll down. Hold the top of your hair between the sock loop and roll the fabric down toward the base of the ponytail. The hair will be gathered in a loop around the sock. Roll and rotate the socks to hide them inside the hair. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

Finish the bun. Once the sock reaches the base of the ponytail, pull the edges and adjust so that no patch of the sock is exposed. Use bobby pins to secure the bun to your head if it still feels loose or loose. If you like, you can add a thin layer of hairspray. ^{[6] X Research Sources}
