For today's video I originally was going to be doing a video on some pretty
hair but I just wasn't feeling inspired and all I wanted to do was put it into a messy
bun
so I thought I would show you guys exactly how I do that now it seems
pretty simple and it is but I feel like over the years
of doing it over and over again and somehow
came up with the technique to make it look presentable
So if you wanna see how I do my messy bun then just keep watching
So usually when I my messy bun I'm either just at home and i wanna
put it up on top of my head but if I'm at like my
boyfriend's house or if I know that I'm going to be going when out or whatever
I make it look a little bit cuter even though me and my boyfriends have been
together for like
six years I still wanna look nice I don't wanna look like a hot mess express
and now I usually try to find at least one bobby pin because that can
pretty much transform your messy bun and make it more secure
I have just a couple bobby pins here
And then you just have this, which this called so many different things
let me know down below in the comments what you call this. I call it a hair tie
Some people call it a hair bow, just an elastic, whatever.
I found that when I part my hair down the middle
and I do a messy bun it doesn't really turn out the best
and at least for me so I like to kinda part it to the side a little bit
and now this isn't second day hair I find that my
messy buns look so much better on second day hair or third or fourth
day hair
this is also how you can really get
the longevity of your wash out of your hair if that makes any sense
If you can master the messy bun you don't have to wash your hair for like
a week and I know that sounds gross but the longer you wait to wash your hair the
better it actually is for your hair.
So I like to part mine on the side and if you have dry shampoo you can throw that in
there just for some more texture
I should actually probably put some dry shampoo in because I'm bout to go
to hot yoga
and sweat like crazy.
but I can't find mine. So I put my hair tie like this
Push all this back. I just grab it all
up at the top and I'm holding tight with my left hand
so I've got everything in my left hand
all the bottom pieces if you find that something is falling out
and you feel fine that you can't put it back into your
pony thing that you've got going on right now go ahead and do that
I always have little hairs fall out down here
I just get later so I just take this I wrap it around
so now it's in my right hand it more wrapping
this way. Now I'm going to gab the elastic. Pull it around
to the back and put back around to the front
let go with your right because you've got it with your left
grab the elastic and
let go so you got something that looks like this
now if I'm just sitting around at my house watching TV no one's around my hair
looks like this
then what I like to do is I like to take two pieces the two pieces
differ depending on what this turned up to look like
so right now I think that piece here
look nice in this piece would look nice so I'm just gonna take those and
pull them to the side and also tightens your bun
also gonna take the front and back and do that same thing
and just keep kinda pulling apart at your bun
now you don't want to pull too hard because
then it'll kind of.. like right there I kind of
messed it up a little bit I pulled a little bit too much
this is super flat right here I think it looks so much better when this is a
little bit more
voluminous and you can always go in with a texturizing powder
or a teasing comb before you go in and do this
and it gives you more volume. I like to just pull
at this here
and the only downside of doing this is that loosens up your bun
so I've already pulled my bun as much as I possibly can in my opinion
here I'm just getting all of my baby hairs out. Now I'm gonna go in with my bobby pins.
I'm pushing my bun where I want it and then I'm gonna go in and secure
at the base bike
Now that I've got the base pretty much good
now I'm gonna position the bun exactly where I want it to be.
I only have two more bobby pins to do this. So it's really up to you what you think is the
most necessary
sometimes I'll have these little baby pieces and I'll pin
those up sometimes I don't mind those pieces and i actually
pull out some more just so that they are going with the whole messy look.
if you have any random weird little fly aways like this
I just kind of position them under
and I will tuck it into another bobby pin.
or you can put it into the elastic that in your hair
so that's it I'm gonna go ahead and do this a couple more times so you can really see it.
Ooo yeah I'm digging this one.
I dig it. I dig it. Uh huh.
ok he's a little bouncy anything that like
shakes freaks me out you need to
pin that bad boy in place.
this is one of the ways my buns turn out
a lot of the time it sorta looks like you did a sock bun
in a more messy way and I like that! so yeah that's pretty much
it I really hope that this is helpful and if you have any questions please let me know
down below
and if you guys tried this out and this was helpful, please
