Making Messy Bun Hairstyle
Items Needed
- Brush
- Anti-frizz Serum/ Mousse/ Gel
- Elastic Bands
- Bobby Pins
- Fine-toothed Comb (optional)
- Hairspray
Instructions
- Detangle your hair first. For the purpose, you should comb your hair well, using a brush.
- It won't be possible to tuck the hair to form a messy bun, if it is frizzy. Therefore, you will need to apply an anti-frizz serum, mousse or gel before tying the hair.
- Comb your hair again. Now, pull it backwards to form a ponytail. If you want to sport a low bun, form the ponytail at the nape of your neck. For a higher bun, pull your hair back and tie it to form a high ponytail.
- After tying the ponytail with an elastic band, smoothen out the bumps, using a bristled brush.
- Coil your hair around the base of the ponytail. Now, make use of another elastic band, to secure the ponytail at the back of your head. By doing this, you hair will look like a small donut in the middle of your head.
- Secure the strands in the sides into the bun, using bobby pins. Since you are making a messy bun, you should not tuck the hair strands tightly, rather fit them in loosely.
- To give the final touch to your bun, pull out a few strands of hair from it, using your fingers. You may also make use of a fine toothed comb for the purpose.
- To retain the shape of the messy bun for a long time, apply a hairspray on the hair, lightly.
