One of the easiest and carefree looks is a loose hair bun, making this style simple enough for anyone to achieve with any length of hair. Perfect for casual day trips or an evening event!
Gather your strands into a low ponytail
Start by gathering your hair into a low ponytail and secure it with an elastic. This will be the base of your loose hair bun.
Add texture with texturizing spray
For added texture, spray some texturizing spray directly on your roots. This will give your bun an ultra sleek finish and make it easier to style.
Add personal touches with accessories
To personalize your loose hair bun, you can add accessories like an adorable scrunchie or printed elastic. This will further enhance your style and make it unique to you.
Control frizz and flyaways for curly hair
If you have curly hair, use leave-in creams to control frizz and flyaways. This will give your bun a soft and natural appearance while helping it stay in place. Secure any loose ends with bobby pins.
Create volume and texture for straight hair
If you have straight hair, add volume and texture to your ponytail with texturizing spray. This technique works especially well on medium-length hair and will give your bun a casual and textured look. Leave out a few strands around the ponytail for a chic messy effect.
Maintain your bun throughout the day
To keep your messy bun looking crisp throughout the day, spray it with a light hold hairspray. This will prevent build-up and allow for reapplications. Consider using volumizing spray for soft or fine hair types to add extra body and fullness.
Create an eye-catching messy bun for medium-length hair
To create an eye-catching messy bun for medium-length hair, start by using dry shampoo and hairspray. Gather all your hair into a high ponytail, leaving out some loose strands.
Add texture and flair for thick, curly hair
If you have thick, curly hair, use ORIBE hair CARE’s Dry Texturizing Spray to add texture and combat flyaways and frizz. You can also add a scrunchie or bow for extra flair and style.
Style for any occasion
Messy buns are versatile and suitable for any event or special occasion. They work well with curtain bangs and look equally stunning on curly, straight, or wavy locks. Texturizing spray can help keep your bun in place.
Try a side-swept braided bun for an elegant finish
For an elegant finish, try a side-swept braided bun. This style is perfect for romantic dates or outings with friends. It works particularly well for those with long or thick hair. Start by separating a vertical section of frontal hair, backcombing it, and securing it with bobby pins at the base of the bun.
Create a ballerina bun for a polished look
Another stylish option is a ballerina bun. Start by gathering your hair into a low ponytail. Tease out the tail by brushing it toward the elastic holder before pinning it with bobby pins. Finish off with strong hold hairspray to keep it in place.
Create an elegant and feminine look with messy buns
Messy buns look elegant and feminine when the strands framing the face are left loose. Use texturizing sprays like Ouai Wave Spray to tame wavy locks and create the ideal texture. Add a scrunchie or patterned elastic for extra flair, and use hairspray to keep the style in place.
Extend the wear of your messy bun
Messy buns can be the perfect look for second-day hair. To extend their wear, use thermal protectant spray before using heat styling tools. Finish off with a leave-in conditioner or serum to add shine and keep your bun looking sleek.
