To do a messy bun, follow these simple steps for an effortless, stylish look:
- Create a Ponytail
Pull your hair into a ponytail at your desired height-high, mid, or low. You can flip your head upside down to gather hair loosely for more volume and texture. Don’t worry about bumps; a bit of messiness adds to the style
- Form the Bun
Twist the ponytail loosely and wrap it around the base to form a bun. You can fold the ponytail forward like a fan bun or simply coil it around the hair tie. Leave some ends out for a relaxed, undone effect
- Secure the Bun
Use a second hair tie to hold the bun in place by looping it over the bun and pulling through to create a secure hold. Then tuck or pin any loose ends with bobby pins to keep the bun intact without making it too neat
- Mess It Up
Gently pull out a few strands around your face and loosen the bun by tugging at it to create volume and that perfect messy look. You can also pull out strands from the bun itself for more texture
- Optional Finishing Touches
Add texture spray or dry shampoo before styling to give your hair grip and volume. Finish with hairspray if you want extra hold
This technique is quick and easy, and with a little practice, you can achieve a perfect messy bun every time
. Summary:
- Pull hair into a loose ponytail
- Twist and wrap ponytail into a bun
- Secure with hair ties and pins
- Pull strands and loosen bun for messiness
- Use texture spray or hairspray if desired
This method works well for all hair types and lengths, making it a versatile everyday hairstyle
