[We're back to poor quality pictures. Sorry.]
A guy once told me that a sock bun was "the only neat bun a girl can do." For me, they're a nightmare; the sock never stays put and to keep my hair in place I have to cake on styling paste. To get a similar look, I do today's bun.
Gibraltar Bun
This bun is great because it's sturdy, it holds it's shape really well, and for those that are prone to split-ends it saves the ends of your hair. You will need to be able to make a little more than one full turn of your hair.
To do: gather your hair like you would do for a normal bun and twist up, keeping two fingers (opposite hand of the one that is twisting hair) inside the first coil you make. Twist the rest of your hair around, tuck the end under and hold it in place with your thumb. Using both hands take this first coil and pull it out and around the rest of your bun. Make sure that coil is securely over the rest of your hair (especially that tail end). Using bobby-pins, secure all around on the edges.
Tune in tomorrow -- I found a brand-new bun I'm going to test out. =)
