How to Make A Great

MESSY BUN

Celeb stylist Michael Dueñas has a step-by-step guide to achieving the perfect messy bun for spring.

Why go with a messy bun? “You essentially only have to heat style 1/4 of all your hair, so it is a time saver, plus no styling in the back!” Michael says.

Part your hair and separate It into sections: Decide what side you want your parting on and make a deep side parting.

Pull back the bottom section into A sleek ponytail: brush and bring all your hair into a center ponytail at your occipital bone (bone that sticks out in the back of your head).

Style the sections surrounding your hairline: manipulate the front hairline with your iron into a textured wave, spray it to lock the texture in. Take the small sections from the front & incorporate them into your ponytail.

Curl your sleek ponytail: use a 3/4-inch curling iron and take large sections in the ponytail to add some wave.

Build your bun: twist sections of your ponytail and wrap them into a messy bun, secure with hairpins and elastics.
