Get a Messy Bun
-
Sexy, messy buns are extremely hot right now, and so easy to pull off. Perfect for bad hair days, lazy days, and pretty much any day you want! They look great during the day, at night, at work, school, whatever you want! Here’s how to pull off a messy bun.
Start off by sweeping the front part of your hair to one side as to create a fuller crown area. Use your fingers along with a paddle brush to direct both sides to the back of the head.
Gather your hair into a loose pony and secure with an ouchless elastic (sides and back). The base of the pony should rest in the middle of the back of the head. Push your pony up slightly to create fullness at the top of your head. Add some hairspray.
Separate the pony into one inch sections, curling each section loosely. You don’t have to do this very carefully, as it is a messy bun, and you just want to get some waves. Holding the curler for about 3 seconds should be enough, depending on the hair thickness.
After each section is curled, use a bobby pin to secure the curl loosely against your scalp. When pinning the curls, make sure that you pin some at the top as to form an even and balanced shape.
Once you’ve finished pinning the curls, use your fingers to gently loosen up the curls, making it look messy. Finish off with a little bit of hair spray and you have a sexy, messy bun!

wtf! that is too much effort for a MESSY bun! they’re supposed to be simple!

It is very simple, trust me. You don’t necessarily have to curl your hair. Just put some mousse onto wet hair, shake it up a bit, and put it up in a bun. As long as you get a little volume and waves, it’s pretty easy!

i have pin strait hair so messy buns are a bit difficult. i dont you a ponytail or curl it. i just grap it in one handfull, messy it up, hold it were i want it and attack it with bunches of bobby pins! adorable.

July 2, 2009 at 11:58 pm

My hair is dead straight and practically impossible to curl. But Remington curl it is really good for natural looking curls because it has ceramic tongs. but i dont curl it just to put it in a bun!!

October 19, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Ihave wavy to curly hair but me and my sister always wear messy buns cos they are simple and look lovely. She has pin straight hair but neither of us curl it. this is a quick simple look. All you need to do is tie it in a pony tail then seperate the hair pinning pits up and putting more bobbles round until you get an attractive shape

I have a really easy way to do it and i have pin straight hair
I just flip my head so my hair is all messed up (DO NOT BRUSH/COMB! use your fingers!)
So it looks like a bun.
Next, i gather all the hair to the top of my head then get a ouchless elastic band and tie it up into a full pony then put it through the band again so its in a half pony
Thirdly, Mess it up a little (The bun part) add hairspray (natural hold) all over head. Get a cute hairband and place it so your bangs or fringe is seperated from the rest of your hair/bun.
Seriously, i do it in like 10 minutes tops in the mornings to go to school and it gives that messy yet sculptered look… i love it!!
Love, Ayesha x

February 6, 2010 at 9:17 pm
ouchless is just a brand of elastic
February 18, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Ouchless is a hairband without a little metal piece that gets caught in your hair.
