2 MESSY BUNS IN 2 QUICK STEPS

HAIR + PHOTOS BY KRISTIN ESS

OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I owe you guys one giant apology. I’ve been neglecting the TBD hair content because I was away launching a hair care line (sorry not sorry) but more on that later! So, I’m back and I’m ready to crank out some fun hair ideas for spring/summer/festival/office days/date nights/brunch/you get the point. And feel free to let me know if there are any specific looks you want me to do a tutorial on in the comments below!

BUNS! You may or may not have hopped on that whole space bun trend last year…? Wasn’t really my personal jam, but I certainly love a bun and finding fun ways to wear them. This look isn’t groundbreaking but it’s fast, playful, chic and it’s easy AF so let me show you how it’s done…

ONE: CREATE TWO MESSY PONYTAILS BEHIND YOUR SHOULDERS. MAKE SURE THEY’RE LIGHTLY TEASED AND WELL COVERED IN (my very own!!!) TEXTURE SPRAY. (SIDE NOTE: FOR A MORE SLEEK LOOK, YOU CAN SKIP THE TEXTURE SPRAY AND USE A SHINE POMADE FROM ROOT TO ENDS WHICH MAKE THE BUNS A BIT MORE HIGH-GLOSS.)

TWO: WRAP THOSE PONIES AROUND THE BASE AND SECURE WITH A LARGE BOBBYPIN AND A COUPLE OF U-PINS FOR EXTRA SECURITY AROUND THE OUTSIDE. I LOVE LETTING THESE SLIGHTLY FALL APART BEFORE SPRAYING THEM WITH HAIRSPRAY. 

This looks should be quick and even hangover friendly so don’t spend too much time trying to perfect anything. Pull some little pieces out in front for a lil extra. I missed doing hair posts SO MUCH!! Happy to be back. Don’t forget to tell me what you want to see below.
