Step by Step Messy Bun Guide

Hi, I’m John Johnson and I’m excited to share with you my step by step guide on how to create a messy bun. As someone who has struggled with getting this hairstyle just right, I know how frustrating it can be. But with the tips and tricks I’m about to share, you’ll be able to create a messy bun that looks effortless and stylish.

The Basics

Before we dive into the step by step guide, let’s go over the basics of what you’ll need:

  • Hair tie
  • Bobby pins
  • Texturizing spray
  • Hairspray

Step by Step Guide

Follow these steps to create a perfect messy bun:

  1. Start with dry, textured hair. If your hair is naturally straight, use a texturizing spray to give it some grip.
  2. Gather your hair at the crown of your head, as if you were going to create a high ponytail.
  3. Twist the hair and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, forming a bun. Leave the ends of the hair out.
  4. Secure the bun with a hair tie. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, we’ll fix it in the next step.
  5. Pull out small sections of hair from the bun to create a messy look. Use bobby pins to secure any loose pieces and shape the bun to your liking.
  6. Spray the bun with hairspray to hold the style in place.
