Sock Bun
Select a sock. It's best to use the odd sock that isn't useful anymore; avoid using a sock that's still in regular use. The sock should be ankle or mid-shin length; anything longer risks bunching up. Shorter socks tend to cradle your bun and hold it in place. Cut off the end. Remove the toe-end of the sock using sharp, fabric scissors.

Side Fishtail Braid
Start by gathering your hair into a low ponytail, and pulling it either to the left or right of your neck. Tie it off with a clear elastic. Fishtail braid your hair as usual and tie it off. Snip the clear elastic off when you are done. Try making a topsy-turvy ponytail before you start doing the fishtail braid. Start with a low ponytail. Slip your fingers up through your hair, right between the nape and the elastic. Pull the ponytail down through the hole. Once you have flipped your ponytail, start fishtail braiding as usual. Use a clip or barrette to cover up the hair tie.

Fishtail Braid
Divide your hair into two even sections. Take a thin strand of hair from the left section. Pull the thin strand up and across the left section. Tuck the thin strand under the right section. Gently tug on the two sections to tighten them. Take a thin strand from the right section. Pull the thin strand up and across the right section. Tuck it under the left section. Keep alternating sides until you reach the end of your hair. Wrap a hair tie around the end of your hair and gently tug on strands of hair to fluff them out a little.
