love this messy bun though😍

1/31 Edited to

... Read moreMessy buns are one of my favorite go-to hairstyles when I want something quick yet stylish. I recently tried a new messy bun tutorial I found on TikTok, which focused on embracing the natural tousled look rather than a perfectly sleek finish. What I loved about this method is that it encourages leaving a few strands loose and even welcoming some dangly pieces, which adds character and softness to the style. It's a firm believer in the back of my head is no fuss — meaning the bun sits comfortably without being too tight or uncomfortable. This approach helps the messy bun look intentional and effortless rather than unkempt. To get this look, start by loosely gathering your hair into a ponytail. Don’t worry about making it too neat; imperfections add charm. Twist the ponytail gently and wrap it around its base, securing it with bobby pins. Then pull out a few strands around your face to soften the look. One tip I found useful was using texturizing spray or dry shampoo beforehand to add volume and grip, so the bun holds better and doesn’t slip throughout the day. This style works perfectly whether you’re dressing for a casual outing or just want a quick hairstyle for a busy day. Plus, it suits all hair types and lengths that allow for a bun. Trying this messy bun tutorial reminded me how embracing a bit of imperfection in hairstyles can actually enhance your overall look. It's a fun and low-maintenance way to keep your hair stylish without spending hours in front of the mirror.

FULL(looking 😆) Messy Bun! 🎀✨🌼
day after waving is my favorite for big buns/braids, dry shampoo (or texture spray) is your bff, make sure the elastic you secure after splitting the hair is on the inside of your regular pony (closer to scalp), pull tug and mess with it til you like it! it's supposed to be messy 😃🫶🏼 #messybun

Messy Bun Mohawk ✨
• Split hair into 4 pony tails. (Little elastics work best) Leave out tiny front bangs & side pieces to give more messy & face framing details. • Turn the 4 ponytails into messy buns. Start from bottom and clip other pony tails out of the way to make it easier. • Scrunch messy buns around
