I'll for sure be doing a video of this one very soon just so you can see how easy it is since I know that the pictures may be harder to understand. For now however, I hope you give it a try and love it like I do! I knew this had to be included in the Festival Hair Week because it's such a classic messy top-knot and it has such an easy effortless look about it. So now lets get to the tutorial:
Steps 1-3:
Steps 1-3:
start with 'old' hair or spritz on a little dry shampoo for some texture. scratch your head a bit to loosen up the hair from your scalp and (1) use your fingers to comb your hair up into a high ponytail. (2) use two fingers to loosen the hair around you hair line and tug free some fly away's for a more effortless look. holding the ponytail in your right hand, (3) pull a hair-tie over the hair with your left hand.
Steps 4-6:
Steps 4-6:
(4) With your right pull the hair nearly all of the way through the hair-tie, but (5) leaving a few inches in. Twist the hair-tie once with your left hand, and (6) use your right to shove all the hair into a ball into your left hand.
Steps 7-9:
Steps 7-9:
(7) Pull the hair-tie over the knot with your right hand (8) and release, and voilà ! Now (9) use a couple bobby pins to secure the sides down a bit if you'd like, and spray with a little hairspray to finish up!
As you can see I show the bun wrapped in a vine of faux flowers and also used a bandanna as a headband, but of course I wear it plain every day so you dress it up however you want:) Also remember that with the volume, that I can pull the bun apart and tug the hair out and have it stay looking so full because of the dry shampoo. It really adds a lot of good grip!
