Epic fail :(

If you have a Pinterest, I'm sure you've seen the pin that says, "Beautiful curls with a sock!" Or something to that effect. Seems awesome to me! So, I decided to give it a shot! After I took a shower I blow dried my hair so that it was "slightly damp" just like the tutorial says. I got my sock and started twisting my hair into the bun.

In the morning when I took it out... Ta da!! Beautiful curls!

So I run my fingers through the tangles and go get dressed. I'm thinking... This is awesome! That was so easy I could do that every night! When I come back to the mirror about ten minutes later... To my horror, this is what I see...

What in the world happened to my curls?! They disappeared within 10 minutes! Needless to say, this is how I ended up wearing my hair for the day...

Not exactly what I expected. Anyone else ever try something that failed miserably?
