Messy Bun Tutorial
I'd like to preface this post by saying that I filmed this tutorial last year—the day before I whacked off 12-inches and donated my hair to charity. Looking back, I don't regret my decision to opt for a shorter 'do one bit, though this does make me miss my longer hair.
This messy bun is my go-to look for 2nd (or 3rd or 4th!) day hair. Though my hair is currently shoulder-length, I can still do a bun like this—I just have to modify the steps a little. My favorite part about this look? That it's a messy bun—it doesn't have to be perfect and will look different each time you do it.
Here are the basic steps:
- Make a little bun
- Double the bun
- Twist and tuck loose ends into hair tie
- Pull & tug bun to add volume
- Secure loose & floppy bun pieces with bobby pins
- Pull & tug crown to add volume
Enjoy!
