Messy Bun Any Girl Can Do

By Makenna Ashley

Well friends, looks like we are spending Easter at home this year - so let's try to squeeze lemonade out of lemons and make the most of it! In this post we've compiled some fun ideas for your family as well as sharing a cute messy bun tutorial that any girl can achieve.

First, let's talk this hairstyle. With all the time being spent at home recently I think we can all agree we need a simple and quick hairstyle that we can all do! Here's to the classic - messy bun. Have you ever seen a gal who just always seems to have the perfect 'messy bun,' but when you go to try it it ends up being a flop? This was me way too often.

Well, here is a tried and true tutorial that you'll be able to get your wanted results with every single time! I'd like to call it, the fool proof messy bun that ANY girl can do!

First, get one weft of Cashmere Hair extensions in place. This will add just a touch of thickness but also the length we need to do the next step. I love the versatility of clip in extensions, because I can choose how many wefts and where I want them placed.

For this style, place the weft in the middle of your hair. Too low and it will peek through.

Now, let's do the standard bun. A quick loop, nothing fancy. Then grab the excess hair (this is where the extension will come in handy!) Twist it to add some texture and then cross it over the bun itself. You'll tuck in the excess ends into the back of the bun into the hair elastic.

Lastly, pull out some pieces to frame your face and also give your hair some gentle tugs to loosen it up for the "effortless" look. Then grab your two bobby pins, and pin one into each side of the bun. You'll be meting the bun with the base of your hair to secure the sides of the bun down.

Wa-la! The finished, fool proof messy bun.
