What You Know About That Sock Bun Though? Hair Accessories Every Black Girl Has Rocked

Sock Bun

So I hear some ladies may still be rolling with the sock bun, but the good thing is this look has evolved — greatly. Back in the day, a sock bun was literally a sock — for some reason always a white one that was nowhere near close to matching anybody’s hair — rolled up into a donut-like shape that you put around your ponytail and then wrapped your hair around to get a full bun. Unfortunately, the white sock inevitably showed through at some point as you tried to spread your hair out around it, but eventually someone got the hint that you might wanna borrow an old black sock from your daddy’s drawer to pull this look off a little more neatly. Nowadays, people just throw some yaki in there and roll out, but if it weren’t for tweens and their innovative sock buns, beauticians might’ve never thought to do that.
