first time i've heard of sock buns

inspired by Adrin's blogpost here.

what first came to my mind when i read the first part of her post was this:

erm... the animals in the photo above are sock animals. heehee.

ok so in general socks are very useful. you can do many things with them, including sticking them into your hair. just make sure you don't use a smelly sock, else your hair will end up with curls AND odour. hahahahahahahaha.

Adrin has written a lovely post on these sock buns. i am so into curls lately ever since learning how to do the gibson tuck hair style: by tying your hair up and tucking the ends in (although i cheat by using a gigantic scrunchie, you need tons of bobby pins to secure the hair in place). by the end of the day when you let your hair down, you get a nice set of temp curls without even using a curling iron (which i've never tried to use before =P). this hairstyle was inspired by a friend i met during a walk-in-interview a month ago =D.

my own lousy version, with the scrunchie =P

a picture tutorial of the gibson tuck hairstyle can be found here.

another hairstyle i've totally been fascinated about is the rope braid. i couldn't figure out for the life of me how to intertwine strands of hair and not let them unravel by themselves. the secret is to twist the separate strands in the opposite way from the way you twist the strands together.

ta-da! my very own rope braid! =D

anyway, for future reference, i just wanted to post here the youtube link that Adrin blogged about =D.

i'm soo into youtube these days. i'm just too lazy to wait for them to load =P. balik nanti i wanna try with my dot's huggalugs. hahahah.
