welcome to Episode six of my men bond
monthly series in today's video we're
going to be doing a messy man bun
tutorial so if that's something you've
been waiting for for a long time keep
watching so welcome back guys and yes we
are finally here for episode 6 this is
so exciting the man bun monthly series
has been my favorite thing to film
lately in the topic request section the
messy man bun has been a very largely
requested one so that's what I can give
you today but if you're joining me here
for the first time I have done five
other episodes already for this man
bimonthly series and if you haven't
caught up to speed make sure you go back
and watch all of those videos I'll put a
card up to like the actual playlist for
you but if you're joining now keep
watching because we're gonna do a messy
man bun tutorial okay so when it comes
to the messy man bun like there isn't
art to it but there's not like you don't
have to be too particular with it it's
seriously it's a messy man bun so you
can afford for it to be messy and the
cool thing is with a messy man bun it
turns out different looking every single
time you just have to kind of know
whereabouts you like it on your head and
yeah where you want to put it there are
lots of other tutorials out there for
doing a messy man bun where people
literally they just go through to one
tie it up and off we go but I don't
actually like I don't I don't think
there's many bun tutorials are very cool
and I think you still can like achieve a
messy look with tact so that's what I'm
gonna be showing you how I do mine today
and we've got a few cool things to show
so a while ago I spoke to Al Rubio from
the longhairs and I reached out and I
just said hey man I really liked the
look of your hair ties and I would love
till I get my hands on some and tried
them and to begin with when I got them
in my hands I was like ah they're maybe
a little bit too thick like I just
didn't like it compared to the normal
hair ties that I have and in the last
couple of months I must say I've gone
you know what let's just try them out
and see how they go and I'm actually a
massive fan of them now I was already a
fan of like the patents that they put on
there the long hairs are pretty cool
they've put together their hair ties for
guys and they've got all of these
different prints and the elasticity in
them is quite good the prints are really
funky that they've created themselves
and they've also incorporated their own
little logo something like this would be
really cool for you guys I think if
to make something like it but maybe that
can happen in the future who knows so in
total all you're gonna need is a hair
tie you're also gonna need some bobby
pins and if you have hair remotely like
mine I would suggest putting like maybe
a Kilduff liner or a sea salt spray or
something like that in your hair
beforehand just to give it a bit more
texture and a little bit more like
Jewish because when we tie this up we
want it to look messy and want it to
look good I don't want my hair being
frizzy and all like I mean we're gonna
have a little bit of frizz today but for
the most part I've put like a curl to
find out like a hint of curl to find out
I've used my leaving creams dadada and
I'm liking how it's looking so yeah
let's get into it enough chitchat
so the first thing I would say with this
man bun is just get your positioning
right nowwe you'd like to wear your bun
do you like to wear it at the back of
your head do you like to wear it hi
where do you like to wear it I've found
the best position for me to wear a messy
man bun is this we hit a little spot on
the left side of my head around about
here so if I can get the bun to roughly
sit about there and then do all my other
hair pieces around it it usually looks
quite cool for me so that's where I'm
gonna be doing mine today and the art of
it is to make this part look somewhat
nice and primp so this this part always
it needs to look neat but it's about the
element of sag that you add into the
back that sounds a little bit like I'm
tasteful but I'll show you what I mean
in just a minute okay so we're gonna
grab one of our hair ties we're gonna go
for this one with bazooka missiles on it
and then I'm gonna start prepping my
hair so like I just told you as well I
like to reduce mess here make more mess
at the back and up here that's my goal
so I'll start grouping my hair oh my god
you can see my sweat patches in this
shirt that's so gross surprise I'm human
group it up like that I've got my little
spot which where I was just saying he's
like yeah and then once I've grabbed it
all there I want to make sure I don't
touch this and I just loosen the back a
little bit because remember I want that
element of sag and now I'm gonna grab my
hair tie and you might have to do this a
bazillion times as well mind you this
doesn't always turn out right the first
time you've just got to like play around
with it until you happy so we're gonna
put him on my general spot then
I'm gonna do a twist and go back over
like that so I've got my nice flat top
here and then I'm gonna just to pull the
sides out a little bit to give me more
of that sag can you see this sag inside
here like it's almost like wobbly and
I'll put a little bit there primp here
sag here we got that and then with the
bun so if you look at it like this it
kind of protrudes off my head I'm not
really happy with that look I don't like
hair tie and then a big ball it kind of
looks really stupid to me
so what I like to do is really like get
my fingers around in it and this
probably seems a little bit
contradictory seeing is like I'm using
these gorgeous picturesque hair ties but
I kind of like just cover all the hair
and kind of cover the hair tie like this
ready so hard to coordinate sometimes
grab it like that pin him down you know
I just like fluff it out a little bit
more pin him down look at that see how
we've got all of this here like I just
hate how risen that looks so I'll
probably play around with that a bit
more slide a pin in I'll probably do one
more on the other side just to be safe
so in total I've only used four pins
right now and then what I'll do it's
just in sure I've got the right amount
of sag I can also like cuz it's a messy
bun as well I can like afford to untuck
some of the side bits tuck them behind
my ear it's no big deal they kind of
look cool bit flowy keep this bit nice
and flat always do a double mirror check
nope
see just just what I told you I've
positioned everything in place and I'm
not actually happy with the shape what
I'm actually not liking about this is I
feel like there's probably a little bit
too much sag there so what I'll have to
do this is how it happens I'll probably
undo it and then try and try my best to
get it right again okay let's try that
again and this is totally normal to
happen as well like you'd think doing a
messy man bun could just be like Oh put
it up and it can be like that but if you
like what the cool look
a company like that Susie I'm just gonna
try everything I showed you again I'm
just gonna retry it the blue one
actually match my top how you like them
apples they okay let's try this again
got him on the right spot just here give
me some sag then I've actually got all
of this mountain this turned out pretty
cool I can do a lot with this I can
actually like 12 it around the barn if I
want but what I'm gonna do first is just
do my separation around and this header
couldn't work without the bobby pins in
my opinion in my opinion I'm funny
you know what we'll do with the fourth
one see this is what I mean there's no
set method you just kind of go to play
and see if you can get it right
eventually you get there sometimes it
can be the second sometimes it can be
fourth sometimes it can be the
seventeenth but I'm pretty sure I'm
liking what I'm seeing right now so and
all I'm doing here is grabbing these
side bits that are flipping around I
might show you up there and just
twisting them around the bun to just
give it more of a wisp won't new another
bobby pin oh I think we got in the back
though if in doubt use a bobby do my
sides that's better
oh look and we can still see that um the
print of the hair tie I nailed that one
tada so I've now got it in a shape that
I I'm actually really fond of can you
see how this is like a messy bun but
there's art to it so all I would do here
is just do a little bit more pulling and
tugging to give it a little bit more sag
to the sides maybe a couple more wispy
hairs around the back here couldn't hurt
me just to give it that more messy
Jewish and that's literally it I'm
actually super stoked at this one I like
it
here's a little 360 for you
you know I might showed up here to like
I actually love this fun that I did
today I need to put it on my snapchat
ASAP
but essentially guys that oh oh my god
the mirror fell just like I didn't want
it to and that is as simple as doing an
easy man button needs to be right you
can essentially just grab your hair - I
chuck it up and be happy with the look
if you like that or you can go at it
with a bit more tact like I have and
still create a messy look that's still
got a bit of art to it and I really love
the shape I think it's all in the SAG
again you don't need to get it perfect
the first time you need to try it as
many times as possible until you're
happy with it because it is a messy
style it's gonna look different every
time it just depends whether you're
happy with the shape and if you're not
all you need is hair ties all you need
is bobby pins and your set and a bit of
hair length of course shout out to the
the long hands for supplying the hair
ties they've got very very cool prints
