Flip

Start with a second or third-day hair. This hairstyle is much easier to do with hair that’s not freshly washed. Flip your head upside down and grab all the hair. Put it in a ponytail where you want it. Don’t comb it – you want bumps for the texture.

Twist

Now start twisting the hair, spinning it around the ponytail base. Wrap it below the bun.

Secure

Use a hair elastic and body pins to secure hair in place.

There you have it – a perfect messy bun! It may take some practice, but don’t try too hard. You’ve probably noticed that you get the best messy bun when you don’t even try, before shower or bed. We’re sure that it will only take a few tries before you become a pro at it!
