MESSY BUN
1 Prepping Your Wavy Hair
Shake the TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse well and apply 2-3 dollops into your damp hair. This mousse not only helps tame frizz but also provides the grip needed for your bun to hold. Scrunch your hair gently to enhance your natural waves and then use a diffuser to dry your hair, preserving the texture that will give your bun that desirable lived-in look.
2 ROUGH DRY YOUR HAIR
Next, rough dry your hair with your hands. This helps to add volume and texture, which will make your messy bun look more full and effortless.
3 CREATE A HIGH PONYTAIL
Pull your hair up into a high ponytail. This will be the base of your messy bun. The higher the ponytail, the higher the bun will sit on your head.
4 APPLY EXTRA HOLD GEL
Apply TRESemmé Extra Hold Gel to your ponytail. Use a mini brush to slick back any flyaways and give your hair a sleek, polished look. This gel provides a long-lasting hold without making your hair stiff or sticky.
5 CURL PONYTAIL PIECES
Curl the pieces of your ponytail in 1/2” sections with a wand. This will add some extra texture and volume to your messy bun.
6 CREATE YOUR MESSY BUN
Loosely twist your curled ponytail and pin it into a messy bun. Don't worry about making it perfect - the beauty of a messy bun is in its imperfections!
7 FINISH WITH EXTRA HOLD HAIRSPRAY
Finish your top knot with TRESemmé Extra Hold Hairspray. This will lock in your style and keep your messy bun looking great all day.
