How to Style your Hair Into a Messy Bun
Buns for hair have been mostly associated with older women. A classic style that spelled elegance and old world glamor. There are many different hair bun styles that women can choose from, but if you are on the lookout for one that exudes a sense of casual chic, then a messy bun is perfect for you. Adding a messy look to a bun brings out a more playful and younger side in the person sporting it. A bun is perfect for women with straight or wavy hair but even if you have curly hair, you can use a straightening serum to comb out your hair and knot the bun to create one of the best choices out of all the updos for curly hair. If you want to make a messy bun, then you will need a hair brush, hair care products like serum or mousse, bobby pins, hair bands to tie your hair with and a hairspray. Given below are the steps you need to follow in order to tip up your hair in a messy bun.
- If you want to tie your hair into a bun, then the first thing that you need to do is to make sure that your hair is free of knots. In order to do so, brush your hair properly to untangle it.
- If your hair is too frizzy or dry, then it will be difficult to knot a bun. Therefore, apply the serum or mousse, whichever you prefer, to smoothen out your hair and reduce the frizz.
- The next step towards creating a messy bun is to pull back your hair into a pony tail. Now tie the pony tail at a comfortable height, depending on whether you want a low bun or a high bun. Tie the pony tail with an elastic band and comb out the hair again.
- Now take your hair and wrap it around the pony tail's base in such a manner that it resembles a donut. Immediately secure this coiled up hair to your head with another elastic band.
- There will definitely be a few stray strands that will need to be tucked into the bun. To do so use the bobby pins but do not tuck the strands in very tightly as then the point of knotting a messy bun will be lost.
- Finally, from the sides of your head, pull out a few strands of hair. Be careful to not disrupt the bun and do this with a light touch. You can use a hairspray to set the hairstyle so that it does not get very messed up.
