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! messy bun

    This is a kol website. I love the pink tints and the tips are great!

  2. i still don’t know how to do the messy bun,

  3. i get it but how do you do one with out curling your hair? like if you only had two minutes to do it?

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

  5. 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!

  6. love the messy bun works
    perfect with my hair!!

  7. What size curling iron do you use?

  8. i get it, but how do you it without all the curling? my friend does it when her hair is pin straight and it still looks good..

    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.

  11. I like the bun it is very messy

  12. I think it is not fair that you need to curl your hair my hair does NOT curl and I just wanted to look at some ideas

    haha i like how you said “attack it with bobby pins” thats funny :)

  14. 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!!
