I Like Big Buns!
You know the kind! Prairie buns! The buns that the women have on Little House on the Prairie!
I LOVE THEM!!!
But I just don't have enough hair to do that.
So I had a bright idea! Go to the store and buy "fake" hair & intertwine it into my own to get a huge bun. Off to Walmart I went. No fake hair! Okay, I'll go over to CVS b/c I have seen fake hair there before. Guess the fake hair look is out b/c they didn't sell it anymore.
Hmmm....what to do? I WANT A PRAIRIE BUN NOW!!!
So I go to my trusty computer, it will tell me!
Guess what? I found a site that shows me how to get a huge bun without waiting for my hair to grow down to my feet! YAY! Now I have the best of both worlds! I can have a prairie bun without having extremely long hair that I have to manage!
Here is the website:

Here are the step by step instructions:
(this is not me! my hair is nowhere near that long! it's from the website!)
Sock Bun
2. Gather hair high up on head, around the crown, and secure with ponytail holder.
3. Twist hair into a rope and slide sock up the length, pushing it against the hair tie. Let hair untwist.
4. Lean over; spread hair back over the sock, covering it entirely. Use another ponytail holder to secure spread-out hair over the sock.
5. Stand up straight; gently push hair down so that the remainder (if you have a remainder) spreads out under the newly-created sock bun. Do whatever you wish with this; braid and twist around bun, simply twist around bun, let hang. At any point, a hair stick can be used to increase the stability of the bun or for decoration.
After this last instruction you can either leave it down like this girl in the picture (if your hair is that long, which mine is not!) or you can take the rest of what you have and loosely twist it and wrap it around the bun, which makes for an even larger looking bun.
Here is a picture of mine:
And there you have it!
A Prairie Bun!
I just love it!
Who is to know that there is actually a sock in there?
Okay, now this is a secret!
Don't tell anyone that I have a sock in my hair! lol
