How to Make a Messy Bun With Extremely Long Hair

Making a Bun from Hair Loop

Brush your hair out to make it detangled. Don't wash it for better results; messy buns only work in "dirty" hair. You can use dry shampoo to achieve the necessary texture.

Put your hair in a bun the size of an apple (depends on how long your hair is).

Twist the rest around the bun until the last strand of hair (hide the wrapping a little).

Tuck the tip of your hair in your hair tie (you could just put another hair band on to support your overall look in general).

Making a Bun from Ponytail

Lightly gel up the tips and middle section of your hair. This helps the strands stick together and keep your bun from collapsing.

Put your hair in a ponytail.

Place your hand where the ponytail holder is up on your head. This secures it in place.

Take your other hand and twist the ponytail until it twirls up against your head.

Secure it with a hair tie.

Lightly gel up the edges near the hair tie with gel.

Carefully pull out small strands of hair. You may set the look with hairspray.
