Hey-o! Here is the tutorial, finally!
A messy bun is my goto hairstyle. Whenever I'm having a bad hair day or if I'm running too late to do anything else, this is what I do. This hairstyle takes me about 3 to 5 minutes and I just love the look of it. When I first started doing messy buns... they were awful, but practice
does make perfect. So, don't feel that you can't do this, you can, it just takes some practice!
One thing while doing messy buns, is sometimes they look more like buns than
messy buns. To try to stay away from them just being a bun, don't make them too tight, and don't be too picky about loose ends and weird clumps. Those loose ends and weird clumps are what make the messy buns!
Also, I find if you have straightened your hair before doing this, it doesn't work that great, it just looks spiky. Trust me...
I hope you find this tutorial helpful, and if you have any questions, just ask. :)
MESSY BUN TUTORIAL
You will need:
hair band (if you have thick hair like me, you should you use a thick one, so the messy bun isn't sagging down)
bobby pins (You should not need to use any bobby pins for the bun, but if you need them for your bangs ect.)
Step One: Pull your hair up with your hands to where you want your bun, I prefer mine at the crown of my head. Now take your hair band and messily make a bun.
Step Two: Gently tease your "bun" to get all the hair that is about to come out, out. Don't over due it though to where you have no bun left. It should look something like this...
Step Three: Now, take pieces of that loose hair and twist them, then wrap them around the bun. Then when you wrap it around, tuck the hair under the hair band, which should be hidden under the bun. It is okay if little ends are showing though, it makes the bun more "messy"!
There you have it! Your messy bun!
