How to do a Sock Bun on American Girl.

{Hola! I'm skipping the apoligees, if you wanna read those, you can read them on my "human" blog a little later. -Jeneca}
Hey guys, it's Mia. I'll be demonstrating my new favorite hairstyle, perfect for dance and ice skating, or just to wear around normally, because admit it, they're pretty cute!
I mean, It's so much more bun like and much nicer than a normal twist around bun...

 Count this as "Mia's Mondays" or whatever I called it.

 

You'll Need:

*a sock bun 

*hair elastics

*bobby pins

 

 

 In case you don't know, here's a simple tutorial on how to make your sock bun. Simply take a {clean} sock and snip off the toe. Roll it up like I did above.

 Step 1: brush your doll's hair up tight in a ponytail, securing with an elastic.

 Step two: Slip the sock bun onto the ponytail, and pull up to the base

 Step Three: Flair out all the hair, and, keeping the hair flaired, pull the sock bun up to the tip of the pony tail.

 Step four: Tuck hair around and under the bun, then roll down, essentially curling the hair around the bun.

Step Five: If your doll has lots of longish flyaways, secure with an elastic. Bobby pin down so it doesn't look like it's popping out.

There you go! Now go our into the world and rock that bun!

Kanani's New Curls!

Yesterday, I took out Kanani's curls. They've lost there twist and a lot of there life, so on Sunday, I decided to re-curl them.

 This time around, I made sure the were a TON tighter, and much closer to her scalp. Excuse the funky front curl, I had to spray them down every day, and I didn't want a floppy wet curl in her eyeball ;)

Here's the first one. The second I took them out, they very bouncy, and they still are! One of the major things I like of her hair after I curl it, is that the ends are all tightly together, and not looking like... well, not pretty.

Oh her curls are so gourgeus! So bouncy, soft, and very smooth. I can't get enough of them.

Here's a front view. In conclusion, they're in some ways more corkscrew like, and less of the prefect AG ones. (they have fallen out slightly by now)

If you would like to re-curl your Kanani's hair, look at Mia's instagram: www.instagram.com/miaskatergirl.

Have an AWESOME day,
