Keep in Mind that You Need to Work on the Texture
You have to prep your hair ahead in order to achieve the desired look. Straight and sleek hair will easily slip out of the bun this way ruining your hairstyle. So the best you can do is prepping your strands using dry shampoo or texturizing hair products. We leave it to your preferences.
Wear a Topknot
Topknots are easier to style. So instead of a bun you can go for a cute topknot. To create the look you just need to gather your hair up into a ponytail twist the ends and clip. Additionally you can leave some face-framing strands out to add some movement. Also you can finish off with a bit of hairspray in order to have guaranteed long-lasting effects.
Go for a Single Hair Tie
Ok this is the styling secret lying behind the perfect messy bun. So according to stylists to create a messy bun you have to pull your hair through the hair tie once. The next move must be done to create the bun and not to tighten the ponytail. For better effects, you can pull your hair once you’ve created a ponytail in order to get the messy look.
Make it Look Messy
You don’t want your messy bun to look well-polished and super smooth neither you want to have those little bumps that usually distract attention. The best you can do in such cases is pulling up some strands in order to get an uneven surface on the top part. As for the bottom part you can just release some strands to get rid of those annoying bumps and get a messier look.
