The pin: Use a sock for a perfectly shaped bun.
Simple, right?
Here I am, ready to go with my sock (RIP sock). Disclaimer No. 1: I have shoulder length hair. Disclaimer No. 2: It is mad curly, and it rained like crazy today.
My curls earning the right to be called "unruly" — one ringlet did NOT want to obey the sock.
I played around with it a bit and it worked a little better. This definitely is meant for longer, straighter hair, though.
