How to get an imperfectly perfect messy bun

These are the only kind of buns I do other than sock buns! They're so easy to do and perfect for a bad hair day! (I have a lot of those)

Start with your hair

Put a hair tie on the hand you put up with ponytails, as if you were putting your hair in a ponytail

Pull all your hair back where you want your bun to be

Bring the hair tie over and make a loop with your hair, twist the hair tie as if you were doing a ponytail again. DO NOT LET GO OF THE HAIR TIE

Gather all the excess hair. Wrap it around the bun.

Secure with the rest of the hair tie. (*click photo for full picture*)
