Creating the Perfect Messy Bun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the article shall be going over numerous sections,\nthis first segment shall look at how you can create that messy bun that’s just right.\nThen for the preceding sections, they shall build from this method. Let’s\nbegin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step#1 Gather the Necessary Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you begin making your hair, you want to remain seated\nand relaxed until you accomplish your hair goals. Hence, start by gathering\nyour favorite hair products so you won’t have to constantly move up and about\nin search of them. You can include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Hairpins\/ clips<\/li>
  • Hairbands<\/li>
  • Decorative hair clips with flowers\nand studs <\/li>
  • Styling gel<\/li>
  • Hair mist\/ moisture\/ mousse <\/li>
  • Wide-tooth comb<\/li>
  • Sheen spray<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The above products are just examples, you can opt for\nothers, such as creams, depending on your preferences. Once you’ve gathered\nyour supplies, sit behind a mirror and get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step#2 Prepping  the Hair <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you want the best outcome, ensure the hair is two days\nprior to your wash day or after your wash day. Then, the hair is plump and will\nappear better and with much more volume than if from the salon or after washing\nimmediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. From your hair products\n selection above, use a lightweight mousse to allow for easy pliability.\n You want the hair to look moisturized, \n but also soft and natural. Thicker hair products will make the hair\n look too oily, which doesn’t produce good results. <\/li>
    2. You can also use a volumizing\n agent from any other hair product so the updo can look subtle and full. <\/li>
    3. Spray on hairspray to keep the\n hair looking fresh for the entire day. The choice of spray is solely\n yours, but opt for something with thin moisture, so as to accumulate as\n little build up as possible. This way you can reapply for some time before\n the need to clean it out.<\/li>
    4. In case you have freshly washed\n hair, apply dry shampoo or salt spray to add texture to the hair and also\n give it an edgy look. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Once you’re satisfied with how your hair looks, move to the\nnext step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step#3 Creating a Messy Bun <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      1. Begin by combing your hair\n upwards to hold it into a loose ponytail using a hairband. You can also\n use your fingers to slightly comb through the hair to the back or side of\n the head. It can be as high or as low as you prefer. <\/li>
      2. Alternatively, you can flip\n your head upside down to help you accumulate the hair without combing.\n Don’t worry if there are bumps, the hair is meant to be messy. <\/li>
      3. Start twisting\/ rolling\/\n spinning your hair from the base of the ponytail. Keep wrapping it till it\n forms a bun that you’ll tuck beneath it. You can also leave your tail out\n at the end. <\/li>
      4. Leave a large bouncy loop so to\n can pull the hair further into a bigger bun and also, to allow some hair\n strands to fall back down – creating the messiness.<\/li>
      5. Secure the hair with an elastic\n pin\/ bobby pins\/ clips. Ensure it’s not too tight.<\/li>
      6. From the sides of the hair,\n gently pull the edges out to widen the radius of the bun. You can also tug\n the midsection of the bun to give it a more appealing U shape.<\/li>
      7. Tuck any unwanted hair strands\n as you add more bobby pins for a stiff look.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Note: If you want a high bun, your initial ponytail should\nbe high as well, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step#4 Finishing the Look<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        You can turn the messy bun into something sophisticated by\nbrushing your edges, adding a matte spray, or accessorizing with clips that\nhave flowers, studs, bling, or jewelry. You can also add a headband at the\nfront section of your hair (plain or decorative) to complement an outfit or\nhold the front hair back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to Do a Messy\nBun with Long Hair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Long hair is that which is two or more inches past the shoulder. They are easier to form a bun with since the hair can easily be held and tucked into a bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Following the simple guideline above;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Start by texturing the hair.\n You still want the hair to have some volume, even though it’s long. <\/li>
        2. After holding the hair into a\n ponytail, start to loop the hair and hold it with an elastic band. You’ll\n have to create two loops since the hair is long. <\/li>
        3. Create the first loop by\n tucking the hair. Follow with the second loop by feeding the first loop.\n Hold your hair in place to avoid it from detangling or loosening from the\n ends. As you close the second loop, the first one will eventually get\n tighter.<\/li>
        4. If\n that’s too much a task, simply twist and hold with two elastic bands so\n the hairs are held securely.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Note: Longer hair only needs more holding pins\/ clips\/ bands than other hair types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
