After years of battling bad hair days, pure laziness, and hitting the snooze button one too many times, I have finally discovered how to achieve perfect hair in under five minutes: the sock bun.

The sock bun is a perfect up-do that every collegiette needs to master! It’s ideal for summer days on the beach when you want your hair out of your face, but until then, it’s also great for early mornings after a late night of studying.

What You Need:A hairbrush, hair tie, Hot Buns (available at CVS for $9.99), and hairspray.

How To: 1. Brush out your hair2. Put your hair up in a ponytail3. Place the Hot Buns at the bottom of your ponytail and wrap your hair around it. Continue to roll upwards and then snap it together4. Spray any fly-aways5. Enjoy!
