The quintessential messy beach bun




I thought I would share one of my favorite ways to create the quintessential messy beach bun, because there is just something about a lazy, messy updo that gets your hair out of your face, and is at the same time incredibly flattering and stylish that appeals to girlies all over the world.

Messy Beach Bun

1. Gather all your hair into a pony tail as high as you can on top of your head. If some pieces don’t make it in, it ups the mess factor. If your hair is still wet or slightly damp, even better as wet/damp hair equals a messy beach bun match made in heaven.

2. Secure pony tail with a rubber band, on your last time around with your rubber band only pull your pony tail half way through.

3. Take the hair that has formed a loop and spread it out. The messier the better don't over style this part.

4. Now take the tail end of your pony tail that you didn't pull through and wrap it around the base of your messy beach bun.

5. Secure the tail with pins.

6. Gently loosen up some of the strands in your messy beach bun to give it a better texture and some added messiness. You can pin these strands if you so desire or leave them loose. It is all up to your personal messy beach bun personality.

7. Spray with hairspray if so desired to add some hold that will last all day, or leave your messy beach bun to run wild - a dash of messiness and salt water will do your hair a world of good.
