How to Make a Messy Bun – 5 Styling Tips to Get Zendaya’s Look

Yes, you can rock designer garb with a messy bun and still look high-end! See that is the true beauty of this hairstyle. It is extremely versatile. Can be worn during the daytime or at night. To a pool party or classy dinner date with your man.

An excellent example of this hair look is Spiderman Homecoming’s Zendaya. Our girl was on her merry way to the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala when we spotted her looking glam with the messy bun hairstyle. We love the easy, breezy vibe of Zendaya’s hair. Gorgeous without feeling stuffy. Fashion Side Bar- That ensemble Zendaya is wearing is a design by Viktor and Rolf. Aye!

How to Make a Messy Bun

Alright, now the real fun begins. It’s your turn to get the look. Here are few tricks to help make it happen.

Twist and Shout- Twisting strands is an easy hack for creating a cool messed up chignon look. Simply twist the entire tail or parts of it until coiling occurs. Then use bobby pins to secure hairs and design a messy bun.

OMG! You’re Such a Tease!– Creating volume and roughing up your strands a bit is major key when creating a messy bun. The volume ensures the hair gains a little more shape. While gently “roughing” up tresses through teasing helps the style look less than perfect. So take out those combs and get busy dolls.

Hang Loose- Normally having a hair out of place in Girl World is a sentence worse than death. However, when rocking a messy bun you want that slightly disheveled effect. Get it by first creating the style and then gently pulling hair loose from the bun. Also, having loose strands framing the face makes for a very sexy look. You will look like you rolled out of bed looking as flawless as the Queen Bey.

Finger Play- Now we know your parentals probably told you it is wrong to play with your food. Yet, when it comes to your hair all bets are off! Instead of using styling utensils such as a hair comb or brush to pull strands back securely into a ponytail. Use your fingers to work tresses into this style. The result will be a little messier than normal. Which is good because you want the hairstyle to look “lazy” without seeming like you faked it or tried to hard to achieve it.

Black Hairstyles: Fake Bang and Topknot

Arianne Suggs April 14, 2015April 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Here is a fun hairstyle that is great whether you are dressed up or more causal. No need to do a big snip to achieve a bang, below you will find a quick tutorial on how to fake one. All you will need is:

2 Hair-ties
Bun shaper or sock
Finishing spray (optional)

1. Pull Up– Fashion hair into a high ponytail and don’t worry about making it look perfect. A little messy actually makes this style look a little more edgy.

2. Add Volume– If your hair is not naturally thick or long enough for a top knot there are ways to cheat and make this look work, I do it all the time. Cut the toe end of a sock off and roll it up until it looks like a donut. Pull your hair through the sock and fashion your hair around it in order to hide the sock then secure strands with a hair tie leaving excess hair out. Nevertheless, nowadays socks are not necessary because pre-made “bun” shapers are available at the mall or local beauty supply store.

3. Move Forward– Pull forward the excess hair not surrounding the bun shaper or sock in order to create a bang.

4. Hold It Right There– Spray hair with a finishing spray if you would like to add a little more holding power to your hair look.
