Wedding guest hair inspo - messy bun with twists
You absolutely cannot go wrong with a little updo! And I think they are probably my fav types of hairstyles if you’re attending a wedding 😍 tried this one and thought it turned out so cute! One of those styles where the messier the better too, so it makes it nice and easy! (And way less intimidating!) 😌
Messy bun with twists 🤩
Steps: ✍🏼
1. Section out all front hair on both sides and clip so they stay out of the way
2. Bring the rest of your hair into a ponytail and on the last loop, only bring hair a little way through. Flip bottom hair up and tuck into the elastic
3. Bobby pin a few parts of your bun so it looks more messy
4. Un clip front pieces. Split these pieces in smaller parts, twist, and bobby pin into your bun
5. Wrap the ends of the twisted pieces around bun and bobby pin. That’s all! 😍
Tools: ✂️
- One ponytail elastic
- Handful of bobby pins

When it comes to attending weddings, I always look for hairstyles that are both elegant and easy to create, and the messy bun with twists hits that perfect balance. What I love most about this hairstyle is how it embraces a relaxed, undone look, which feels far less intimidating than some formal updos but still looks polished and beautiful. It’s ideal for all hair types and lengths, especially if you want a hairstyle that can last throughout a long day and night of celebrations. Using just one ponytail elastic and a handful of bobby pins, you can quickly transform your hair into a stunning messy bun with charming twisted accents. Sectioning off the front hair on both sides allows you to keep the face frame soft and romantic after twisting and pinning these pieces around the bun. An additional tip I’ve found helpful is to slightly tease your hair before making the ponytail to add more volume and texture, which enhances the messy, effortless vibe. This style pairs wonderful with wedding guest dresses ranging from flowy floral prints to sleek and modern silhouettes. Plus, it’s versatile enough to accessorize with delicate hairpins, floral clips, or even a subtle hair vine for added charm and sophistication. Whether you’re attending a daytime garden wedding or an evening reception, this updo keeps hair neatly in place while offering a natural, whimsical look. For those who want a little extra shine or hold, a light mist of hairspray or texturizing spray before and after styling can help maintain the twists and bun structure without making the hair crunchy. I also appreciate how forgiving this hairstyle is—if any strands fall loose, it only adds to the relaxed and stylish appeal rather than detracting. Overall, this messy bun with twists is my go-to wedding guest hairstyle because it’s easy to replicate at home, requires few tools, and looks effortlessly chic. I highly recommend trying it for your next wedding event or any special occasion where you want to look put-together without spending hours on your hair.
