Hairstyle – Messy Up-do Bun

Hello my lovelies,

So I wanted to share with you a messy style bun which you can wear for any occasion. I wouldn’t say this is an everyday style as it takes around 30/40 minutes to do but this would be great if you were going out for the day or to a wedding where you need your hair to stay in place all day.

I have got more experimental with my hair recently and I am really enjoying it. This one I kind of did on a whim when I was playing around with my hair but I love the finished look and it is a little different.

I first curled my hair with my GHD straighteners. If I was to curl my hair and leave it down I would normally use a curling wand, but the straighteners gave me a perfect relaxed curl which I think works with this look. Once my hair was all curled, I tied the part of my hair that falls on my crown, just into a pony tail. I then grabbed pieces of my curled hair and clipped them around this pony tail to create a bun shape.

Now be warned, you will need an awful lot of clips and hairspray for this look – but it does stay in all day I promise! 

There were some pieces that I backcombed just to give a little volume to so it doesn’t look flat. When I was happy with all the pieces of my hair I sprayed my hair with dry shampoo just to bring out the blonde in my hair a little more and make sure it looked clean and smooth. I’m not saying my hair is dirty but it gives a better finish!

I really love the result of this hairstyle, it is perfect for a wedding or an event where you can’t touch up your hair. With the amount of hairspray used trust me your hair will not budge. Maybe not the best for a night on the town though as with all the pins its a bugger to make sure you have got them all out. I’m not a fan of sleeping in buns anyway they really hurt my head!

Let me know what you think of this hair style. More will be coming soon!
