Messy Bun (The EASY Way)

I don't know how many tutorials I have seen on Pinterest for messy buns. Spray this product, tease your hair with this comb...blah, blah. I wear a messy bun pretty much every second of my life unless I am going somewhere important. On my roughest days with my messy bun I seem to get the most compliments. Seriously, people admire my messy bun. I look at it and think to myself, "if you only knew how I got this bun..." My hairdresser loves to make jokes about my bun and she thinks it is funny how I achieve the "look". I debated sharing this with you because it is kinda embarrassing on how my messy bun came about. But here it goes....

Here's my first piece of advice for the perfect messy bun.

1. Don't wash your hair everyday. Go as long as you can stand it without washing it. The oils in your hair will help the messiness be wonderful!

2. Ok, here's the BIG secret. After you do wash your hair, wrap it up in a towel. You know, like you normally do after you get out of the shower.  Don't comb or brush it out! That's the trick! Accidentally (or purposely) fall asleep with said towel on your head.

3. When you wake up in the morning take that towel off and look at the dry napiness you have created. If your hair is like mine after I do this, it will be a hot mess. You will want to go wash it again and start all over. But don't!! Just gather all of the hair up into a loose (or tight) bun and tie it up with a hair band. I personally like mine on top of my head. Put on a cute headband or just leave it as it is and go. I wear it like this for a few days and the more you wear it, the messier it gets. I do have to take it down sometimes and throw it back up there again. Just play around with it!


That's it guys. I don't have any secret "messy" products or special combs. If you want a messy bun, you  have to get a little messy.

Now go get messy!!

                                                            

  Messy, Messy Buns!

Don't worry. I do wear my hair down sometimes:
