Learn how to do an easy sock bun with this tutorial! It takes no time at all to make the perfect bun.
Today I have something fun to share with you. I don’t know if any of you have heard of the show House Hunter’s International? Â Many of your probably have and watch it on occasion. Â Well, my husband, boys and I were on that show! Â Last Wednesday night if you tuned in you would have seen a tall American/Bahamian family searching for a home in France. Â That’s us! Â If you didn’t catch it, they replay that show all the time, (which I am not too sure I’m happy about…) so I am sure you will able to catch it at some point!
So today I am going to share with you how I did my hair for the majority of the show- a sock bun.  I wore my hair like this the first day and was unaware that I would have to wear it like that for the rest of filming.  Kind of a bummer for a hair girl like me, but oh well, it was a fun experience!  Let’s get started!
So probably the best thing about this hairstyle is how easy it is. Â You can start with any kind of hair. Â As a matter of fact, this is a go-to hairstyle for me when my hair is dirty and I just haven’t gotten around to washing it. Â Which doesn’t happen much… hehe, I wish. Â Here’s a little picture explanation to make it easy.
Start with a high pony tail, trying to get the hair relatively smooth because this is more of a sleek look. Â Pull your hair through the hair scrunchie. Â Twist your hair all the way around making sure that your hair is covering the scrunchie. Â If you have long hair like I do, keep twisting until it is all around and under the scrunchie. Â If you have shorter hair, just pin it as you go into the scrunchie.
You can find the scrunchie that I am holding in picture number 3 at your local beauty supply store. Â It is really helpful because you can pin your bobby pins into the hair piece which helps it stay in place all day. Â Or in my case, all three days! Â Just kidding, I redid it in between filming days, promise.
And that is about it! Don’t you love it? Â This can be done with bangs and without, fancy and simple, pretty much a go to hairstyle if you ask me! Â b
I put together a simple little video for you to show a different way to way this hairstyle. Â It’s not your typical hair tutorial kinda video but cute nonetheless. Â I hope you enjoy it!
And if you got a chance to catch the House Hunter’s International episode, I would love to hear your thoughts! Â If not, keep your eyes open for “A Family Living Together in France,” that’s us! Â Although, not to call HGTV out or anything, but we have lived in France for 3 1/2 years. Â Oh well! Â Have a great day!

I have been wearing my hair in a bun 5 days a week lately. I had no idea they made scrunchies you could pin into. I have really long, really thick hair and I’ll take any extra tips I can get to keep my hair where I put it. :) Thanks for sharing!

My hair is almost long enough. I cannot wait for braids and buns this summer.
