DELANEY CHILDS BUN 👱🏼‍♀️🤍

2024/4/29 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, so I know I mentioned how much I loved trying out the Delaney Childs messy bun, especially with my long hair, but I wanted to dive a bit deeper into how I actually pulled it off! I used to struggle so much with buns, especially making them look effortlessly chic instead of just... messy. But this one? It's a game-changer, even if you have super long locks like mine. First things first, what makes the Delaney Childs messy bun so special? It's that perfect blend of casual and elegant, with just the right amount of volume and those artfully placed loose strands. When I first saw it, I thought, 'No way my hair can do that!' But trust me, it can. Here's my go-to mini-tutorial for getting that coveted Delaney Childs messy bun, perfect for long hair: Prep Your Hair: I usually start with day-old hair, as it holds styles better. If your hair is freshly washed, a little dry shampoo or texturizing spray can give it that extra grip. Don't worry about it being perfectly brushed – a little natural messiness is key! Gather Your Hair: Flip your head upside down (if comfortable) or gather your hair into a high ponytail where you want your bun to sit. This is crucial for getting that lift at the crown. Don't secure it with an elastic just yet. Twist and Coil: Once your hair is gathered loosely, start twisting the length of your ponytail. Don't twist too tightly; you want some volume. As you twist, coil your hair around the base, creating a bun shape. This is where you decide how 'messy' or 'neat' you want the core of your bun to be. Secure with an Elastic: Once you have your coiled shape, secure it with a hair elastic. I usually use a thin, strong one that matches my hair color. This forms the foundation. The Bobby Pin Magic: Now for the bobby pins! This is where I really leaned on them because my long hair can be weighty. Instead of trying to tuck everything in perfectly, I focused on securing the bun's shape and any loose ends that felt like they might unravel. I'd gently pull small sections of the bun apart to create more volume and then pin those sections to the scalp. Use pins strategically to lift and shape, not just to hold. Don't be afraid to use quite a few; they're your best friends for this look! Pull Out Face-Framing Pieces: For that signature Delaney Childs look, gently pull out a few wispy strands around your face and perhaps a few more from the bun itself. This softens the look and adds to the effortless vibe. Tips for Different Hair Types/Lengths: For Shorter Hair: If you have shorter hair and aren't sure if this "messy bun updo" will work, don't despair! You might need to use more bobby pins to secure shorter layers, and consider starting with a half-up ponytail before forming the bun, leaving the bottom sections down. This can give the illusion of a fuller bun, or you can go for a cute "half up half down slick back bun" style. For Thinner Hair: Texturizing spray is your best friend! Also, backcombing the ponytail slightly before twisting can add significant volume. For Thicker Hair: You might need extra strong hair ties and plenty of bobby pins to keep everything secure. Splitting your ponytail into two sections before twisting can also make it more manageable. This bun truly makes me feel put-together, even on rushed mornings. It's chic, versatile, and once you get the hang of it, surprisingly quick to do. Give it a try, and let me know how it works for you – I bet you'll love it too!
