How to do a messy bun

Picture this: It’s a hectic morning, and you’ve only got minutes to get ready before heading out the door. You’ve got a busy day ahead, and the last thing you want to do is spend hours styling your hair. You want a look that’s effortlessly chic yet easy to achieve, and you recall seeing messy buns everywhere, from the runways to your favorite influencers. But how on earth do you create that perfect blend of disheveled and sophisticated without looking like you just rolled out of bed? Let’s dive into the art of achieving that perfect messy bun!

To create a messy bun, gather your hair into a high ponytail, secure it with a hair tie, then twist the ponytail around the base, pinning it in place with bobby pins. Tug at sections of the bun for that effortless look and leave a few strands out for added flair.

To achieve a messy bun, start by collecting your hair into a high ponytail at the crown of your head. It’s essential to make sure your hair is free of knots and tangles, so give it a quick brush through first. Once your ponytail is secure with a hair tie, take the length of your hair and twist it tightly. Wrap this twisted section around the base of your ponytail to form the bun. Use bobby pins to pin the bun in place, making sure to secure both the base and any loose ends that may fly away. For that truly messy effect, gently pull at sections of the bun to loosen it and add volume, and don’t be shy about leaving out a few face-framing strands. Finish off with a touch of hairspray for hold, and you’re all set to conquer the day with an effortlessly stylish messy bun!
