Messy hair buns can be easy, stylish, and fun! Wear it to casual events as well as formal events for maximum versatility. To achieve this look, gather your hair into a loose ponytail without using a comb, leave some strands out for texture, and create an authentic appearance.
High Ponytail
Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail and pull it back for a messy top bun look. Tuck any loose strands behind or underneath the ponytail, twisting some hair elastic around some strands for added dimension. Add extra flair with decorative scrunchies or bobby pins for texture and pops of color!
Textured Ponytail
This textured, messy ponytail hairstyle looks fantastic on wavy or curly locks. Instead of smoothing your kinks with serums, try finger-combing them or spraying with sea salt sprays like Ouai Wave Spray to enhance natural texture and give the style more movement.
Donut-Shaped Ponytail for Kinky hair
Girls with long kinky hair can create this adorable donut-shaped ponytail. Divide your locks into two sections and twist each section around the base of the ponytail before securing it with bobby pins to achieve this unconventional, messy ponytail look.
Bangs and Messy Bun
If you have bangs, this messy bun hairstyle could be ideal. Start by brushing out your locks and applying hair texturizing spray or gel.
Twisted Ponytail
A twisted ponytail is an excellent look for those with long, thick locks who desire the versatility of casual or formal occasions.
Donut Bun
Donut hairstyles offer another excellent choice for creating an undone bun look. Straight or wavy locks both work great with this look. Use an available doughnut form or customize one by wrapping a sock around a ponytail and pinning it into place. To create more volume, tease your hair beforehand and pin strands from underneath your ponytail into place.
