5 easy steps to tie a messy bun!

Give your hair a piece-y look: Before making the bun, it’s necessary you give your strands some texture. The stylist recommends Toni & Guy Rough – It Texturizing Spray and Volumizing Foam to create shine on the bun.

He even suggests that if your strands are already blessed with natural shine then don’t use these products too much. And if your hair is thick or curly then use a little more or else avoid using too much of the spray.
After shampooing, dry your hair and then use the spray.
Step 2
Tie all the hair up: Now use a ponytail elastic band and pull all of your hair up. However while tying up the hair make sure the ends are pointed towards your face as shown in the image. Leave a loop of hair meanwhile over the elastic.
Step 3
Create the bun: Now grab the ends that you had left out. Separate them and pull the hair towards the back covering the entire base of the elastic band. By this you can create a bun shape on the top of the knot.
Step 4
Pin up and use hairspray: In order to make sure the locks stay in place, use pins on the top and sides of the loop. Use your hand to loosen it a bit to volumize the knot while using the pins. Now use TONI&GUY Extreme Hold Hairspray to hold it in place.
Step 5
Get the desired shape: Once you’re done with getting the basic move right, get the desired shape by use the booby pins at the required spots. All you need is to tuck the ends in or leave them out as per your preference.
