Here are pics of a couple of sock buns. The first set of pics shows the bun and two accent braids.




The second set is just the bun.



To make a sock bun, put hair in a ponytail. Use a form or rolled up sock around the base of the pony tail. Arrange you hair all around the sock evenly and secure with a scrunchi. Wrap the remaining hair all around the base.
