HAIR TUTORIAL: French Braid Sock Bun
6:00 PM
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a cute, everyday hair tutorial with you that is a twist on your typical sock bun. This look incorporates a french braid into both the back of the head and the bun itself which gives it a more elevated look. The front is twisted into a retro-style fringe which brings the casual look together. Check out the look below!

Here is the final look:
From the back you can really see how french braid lays against the head and up into the bun.
I'm so excited to share that I'll be partnering with Pantene over the next year to bring lots of hair videos to you so I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and let me know what hair tutorial you'd like to see next!
Readers, have you tried a sock bun? What is your way of elevating a simple look? Let me know in the comments!

Practice definitely helps a ton, haha. Some days you get it perfect and other days you have multiple fails. XD Thank you!!
DeleteWhen people can do french braids in their own hair - wow! For some reason doing one at the back of my head seems to be so hard for me haha this look looks great though!! Very unique! :)

DeleteYeah french braiding your own hair can get tricky. You feel the soreness in your elbows!

ReplyDeleteYou seem to do the hair so effortlessly, but I'm pretty I'll get a mess if I do it myself! : p
Btw, what did you use for your lips in this tutorial?
The twist in the back and the braid on the top is such a great match, it's elegant yet playful!
