Learn to style a fuzzy bun with effortless bohemian charm that holds up all day long.
– Part your hair down the middle using a fine-tooth comb. Sweep it forward.
– Section your hair, starting from the back. Clip the front sections out of the way to keep them secure.
– Curl each strand halfway up with a straightener for soft waves. Alternate curl directions for that perfect textured, disheveled messy bun effect.
– Gather into a loose ponytail without pulling tight or smoothing bumps—this undone look is the bun's signature charm.
– Tuck the ends under the elastic with two loops, keeping it relaxed. Secure flyaways with pins.
