WARNING: do not do sock bun curls if your hair is naturally curly

I saw a pin on pinterest the other day about sock bun curls.  I visited this blog to learn how to do it.  The theory behind it is that you put your hair in a high ponytail, cut the toe out of a dress sock, roll the sock up into a doughnut shape, dampen your hair with a few sprays of water, and lastly roll your ponytail up into a bun.  You sleep with it overnight and when you wake up your hair is dry and you take it out of the bun and voila, beautiful cascading curls!

Well, I decided to do this last night to change up the look of my naturally curly hair a bit.

This is how the curls were supposed to look.
THIS is how my curls looked when I took them out of the sock bun, except a lot more messy, and I wasn't smiling.  Not the look I was going for.

I tried to fix my hair by brushing it out, which was not a great idea either.  If it were the 80's, though, I would  sport this  look.
