A Messy Bun of Hair - JuvaBun

Messy bun extensions are one of the most versatile hairstyles, appropriate at home, at work, on vacation, and even at a wedding. Let's learn how to create scruffy bun hairpieces by following simple instructions from professional stylists.

Who is the hairstyle for?

A bun is a hairstyle that suits almost everyone - both curly and straight-haired girls. Having picked up the desired model, you can correct the head's shape face and visually "stretch" the neck, and even make the figure slimmer.

Ideal candidates for a classic bun are girls of medium build with an oval face. Almost all possible hairstyle variations suit them. A high bun on top of the head with bangs, side strands, visually narrowing the face is suitable for a square face, and messy bun hair pieces with long oblique bangs that visually narrow the forehead and expand the chin for girls with a triangular face. With a large build, the bun can be voluminous (for example, created using a hair extensions bun or donut), while the styling itself should not be too smooth - a light bouffant is welcomed.

Any bun opens the neck, focusing on it. If the neck is long, this is a plus. But what if a girl cannot boast of such a feature? The way out is to make a low bun hairpiece: this will shift the neck's emphasis, visually lengthening it.

A quick guide to creating messy bun hairpieces for different hair lengths

For long or short hair, tall or short, romantic or naughty - we master the theory of the beam and put it into practice.

Long hair:

1. Comb through your clean, dry, loose hair, and apply styling mousse.
2. Lightly comb the curls.
3. Tie the ponytail, not too tight, and wrap it in a tourniquet.
4. Wrap the resulting spiral of hair around the elastic and secure the result with invisible hairpins.
5. Slightly loosen the bunch with your fingers to add volume, and secure with varnish.

For medium hair:

1. Comb your curls, apply a styling mousse to them and divide them with a side or straight parting into two equal parts.
2. Take both strands in your hands and tie them in a knot.
3. Repeat the movement, forming another knot, if length permits.
4. Twist the resulting spiral inward, creating a bun, and tucking the hair's tip inward.
5. Fix the result using varnish.

For short hair:

1. Comb your curls, apply styling mousse, and create curls with a curling iron or curler.
2. Tie your hair into a mini ponytail at the back of your head.
3. Comb the resulting tail.
4. Gently straighten the hair, styling the strands to give the impression of a bun.
5. Using invisibility and varnish, fix the styling.

For short hair, a hair extensions bun can also come in handy.

Whichever length you prefer: long or short hair, with a bun your look will always be more interesting and elegant!
