Curly locks don’t preclude you from creating sophisticated looks – in fact, a curly bun is an effective way to display them and still appear polished. Here are a few adorable messy bun styles for curly hair that you should give a try! Whether your locks are short or long, these hairdos will surely turn heads!
1. Messy Middle Bun
A messy middle bun is an effortless updo perfect for any special event or workplace. A clever trick for creating a low ponytail without using all of the ends with the elastic is to tuck all of them around its base, eliminating the need for bobby pins. Add texture and volume to your messy bun by spraying it with dry shampoo or texturizing spray. Top off with strong hold hairspray to keep your bun in place. This style works well on shorter or shoulder-grazing hair.
2. Neat Bun
This chic style is ideal if you want your hair out of your face but still wish for it to appear sleek and polished. Start by tying your hair in a low ponytail. Then, tightly wind each strand around the ponytail holder to create a rope-like structure and complete the bun. Use bobby pins to secure your hair for added stability, and finish off with some shine spray for a polished look.
3. Tall Bun
A tall bun is a chic way to keep your hair out of your face. Twist the ponytail around the hair tie and use bobby pins as needed. Finish with hairspray for a polished finish. For a more sculpted look, consider using hair extensions or a bun-maker hair accessory.
4. Messy Bun with Bangs
An effortlessly chic messy bun with bangs is always in style and can accentuate your face. This look works best with medium to thick hair. Use texturizing spray to add volume and avoid tight knots that could potentially cause damage. Before creating the topknot, use dry shampoo to tame flyaways. Once you’ve created the bun, gently pull out some strands around your face for a more natural appearance. Secure with hairspray for long-lasting hold.
These different curly hair bun styles offer a range of options for an elegant and polished look. Experiment with these hairstyles to find the one that suits your hair type and desired level of sophistication.
