The Messy Bun

October 24, 2013

There is no need for me to go in to detail of my love for buns! With so many different versions of the bun to choose from, it’s become a style that can truly be worn for any occasion! The version I’ll be doing today is cute, quick and a little messy, making it a perfect go-to style for days you’re running late!

Step 1 – Gather all of your hair to one side and secure it with an elastic.

Steps 2 & 3 – Take your donut form and place it at the end of your ponytail. (Usually you slide the donut up to the base of your ponytail, but with this style, to get the ‘messy’ look, we’re going to slowly work our way up from the bottom!)

Step 4 – Wrap the ends of your hair around the donut and slowly turning and twisting the donut form inside out until it works its way up the ponytail.

Step 5 – Once your bun is secure, take any layered pieces and pin them with a bobby pin.

There you have it! The messy bun is sure to become one of your favorite looks this fall!
