Messy Drawings and Messy Bun Tutorial


This is the ultimate summer bun because it requires no hair brushing and is speedy quick! I have been sporting this due everywhere, everyday since I figured it out. I was going to post pictures to demonstrate this style but I decided to spice things up with some crappy mouse pad paint drawings! Hope you enjoy!

To start, all you need is some generally long hair,  a hair tie and three bobby pins
Flip your head forward and let your hair hang down in front of you. Use your fingers like a comb to collect all of your hair into a ponytail high on your head. Make sure you like where the ponytail is because this is where the bun will be. I like to make mine right above the back of my head, so the bun is visible from the front. Don't hair tie your ponytail just yet. And don't worry if there are some bumps in your hair, they add to the messy look!
Flip your head back up holding your ponytail. Make sure everything is fine and dandy and then grab your hair tie.
Next you're gonna want to twist your hair tie around about *twice and make a regular ponytail. Then twist your hair tie one more time and pull your hair through, but not all the way, so you have a tall bun and the ends of your hair lay behind the bun. Make sure the bun is tied tight enough that it will not fall down or move. (*the times you twist your tie will vary for different people so find an amount of twists that leave you with enough space for one more twist)
Now separate the bun and pull the sides gently to make the bun bigger. Don't pull too much or else the ends will come through and you'll end up with a ponytail. Adjust the sides to your liking. You can leave the bun like this if you like or you can continue to the next step.
Next take your three pins and pull the two sections together in the center and pin them together at the base of the bun to give the bun a more round shape. Also since the bun is probably not attached to your scalp on the sides take the other two pins and pin the bun down to your head on both sides. You can leave the back how it is.
ALMOST DONE! Now just pull down a few strands of hair! That's it!
DONE!

Hope you liked it!
