Hey! In this tutorial I'm basically going to be showing you how to do my take on a messy bun. Personally I love tutorials on how other people create their messy bun look thing, because before now I've never really been able to keep a good looking messy bun in place. But now with the combination of about a thousand different messy buns, I have decided on the messy bun that works for me. It may not work for you, but why not try it out anyway.
Did anything in that paragraph make sense? I don't even know anymore.
I'm on day two hair (I usually wash my hair every other day), and my hair is pretty long... but this tutorial will probably work better if you have shorter hair than me because I end up wrapping my hair around and around and around about a million times so yeah. What you want to do first is tie your hair into a pretty high ponytail. I like to use two thick hairbands just because it keeps my hair up and high and stuff for longer and its stronger and sort of rhymed. Now what I like to do at this point is just to grab two pieces of hair from the top of my ponytail to each side and just tug on that lightly. This makes the ponytail more upright and a bit more messy at the front which is kind of cool.
After that's all done and out of the way, you want to swing your ponytail to the side, grab your brush or comb or whatever you're using to detangle your hair and well...tangle your hair with it. Back comb your ponytail to exhaustion until it looks like a freeking balloon because it is so puffed full with back combed voluptuousness and voluminiosity. What, that's not a word? Oh well. Swing your hair over to the other side and back comb the bits that you missed from that size. And if your worried about not being able to brush all this out, you may find it reassuring to know that I use this hairstyle loads and my hair seems to detangle itself while its in the bun or something. Anyway, your hair won't be excruciatingly tangled when you take it out of the bun.
Next, take your hair and gently twist it. Be careful you don't knock out the volume you have there.
Wrap your hair around itself in the classic bun fashion and secure it with another thick hair band. I wrap the hairband around my hair twice and then sometimes I use a clear elastic or two as well just to make sure that the hair is secure. If the bun looks ridiculously separate from the rest of my head, I like to take a bobby pin at the front, back and both sides of the bun and just pin it down. Lovely.
Now its time for the extra messifying. The made up words I am using today are off the chart. Pull out a few wispy bits of hair around your face to kind of frame it and if you want you can even pull some out around your neck - up to you. Gently tug on the top bit of your hair to give you more volume at the front of your face and pull a teeny bit around the sides of your head too. Lightly rub the sides of your head with your hands just to get the fly-aways dancing and to make it look spectacularly messy.
And there you have it. Your very own messy bun! I use this hairstyle with basically anything. Its good for casual days, its good for school, you could even get away with it at some sort of fancy event I guess. I hope you liked this tutorial and yeah. See you in the next post!
Lots of love
