Ever had a bad hair day? And you're hair is just all over the place in a big frizzy mess?
Yeah, I know ALL about it.
And you're getting ready for school, and you're looking in the mirror, contemplating whether you should just act sick and stay home because your hair looks like hell or go to school and deal with the comments?
I know all about that too.
But, I've got a solution! It's a hairstyle that is equal parts cute, stylish, and effortless! And another plus is that your hair can be totally messed up and it will still work, probably work even better!
IT'S THE MESSY BUN! (or the sheep bun, as I call it)
Your hair can be wet, dry, ANYTHING, and the bun will look good.
Now you're probably thinking: it's just a bun, what's do great about it?
Well, it's all about TECHNIQUE. I know lots of people who try to do a bun but it just ends up falling apart because they didn't do it right.
However, I'm gonna teach you how:
Step 1: Comb all knots out of hair (could be wet, like just after you washed it, or dry. I prefer dry because it makes it look a little more relaxed and messy, and with wet hair, the bun looks too perfect, like a ballerina bun, which isn't what we're goin for here)
Step 2: Gather all hair like you're about to do a ponytail ( I do this by flipping my hair upside down and taking all my hair in my hand. It's a foolproof way to avoid bumps in your hair)
Step 3: Take a hair tie and wrap it once around your hair (make sure the hair tie is on your wrist so you can just pull it over, and still keep a tight hold on your hair so nothing comes loose)
Step 4: Take the hair tie again and wrap it around your hair, but only halfway through so it creates a loop hole (don't make the loop hole too big, or the bun will sag and fall apart. I wouldn't make the loop bigger than the size of your fist)
Step 5: Twist the excess hair outside the loop around the loop and hold it everything down (it's key to keep a tight grip on everything so nothing falls out!)
Step 6: Take the same hair tie and twist it again around the loop, now surrounded by the excess hair
Step 7: Enjoy!
If your bun falls apart at step 6, that's totally normal. It's hard to keep a tight grip on all the hair. I know there are a lot of people that use more than 1 hair tie and use clips and bobby pins and everything, but I think that just defeats the whole purpose of a MESSY bun.
Don't expect the outcome to look perfect, because that's not the point! It's supposed to look messy! And if strands fall out throughout the day, it looks even prettier!
So, bad hair day? No problem! Just tie it up in a bun and you'll look beautiful!
Try out this messy bun, and you'll love how it's so comfortable and effortless at the same time!
