Hair Tutorial #2: Messy Bun

The Messy Bun

Hi readers! Happy Monday. I have been super duper busy with photo shoots. I've done a shoot everyday for seriously a zillion days... okay so not that many but I've been shooting a ton. Brennan always tells me now, "gotta get shootin honey, gotta get shootin"It's kinda funny. And that was kinda random. And yes, we are pretty weird :) But anyways, long story short, keep checking back to see some of my new fashion work! Some will be up this week. 

Anyways, here is my version of a messy bun. Read below to find out the steps :) 

1. Gather the majority of your hair and pull to the top of your head. Leave your bangs out from the bun to make it more messy and to frame your face. Take the hair and an elastic and tie on the top of your head... making a mushroom like shape :). Pull the top of the bun up and out a little bit to make your bun fuller. 

2. Take the hair that you kept down around your face and curl them with a magic wand curler. Always curl away from your face. (so your right bangs-twirl clockwise around the barrel/ left bangs-twirl counter-clockwise around the barrel) 

3. Secure the bun on the top of your head while pulling some hair out from the bottom, creating a bump below your bun.

4. Take a few strands, or your whispies (as I like to call them) out from the back of your head and curl those too. 

5-8. All views of the bun. Easy peasy!

*Tips: Your hair is much easier to put into a messy bun when dirty. Squeaky clean hair is not good messy bun material. Also, to add more texture and body, spray some hairspray and mess up your hair before putting it all up into a bun. 

Let me know if you have any questions! I'm here to help!
