18. Crimped Messy Bun

Having trouble creating a messy bun that looks completely different? Bring back the crimped hairstyle of the 1980s by curling your hair before styling it. If you don’t have access to one of these irons, sleep with wet hair divided into tiny braids throughout your head.

19. Mini Messy Style

If you’re growing out your hair, you are aware of how frustrating it can be to have too few wearable styling options. If your hair is at least chin length, low buns can come to the rescue. Don’t worry if some strands or layers fall out; it will only enhance the overall fashionable, disheveled look you’re going for.

20. Braids into Top Knot

Once more, attempt this top knot variation if your hair is thin or not too long. Restyle hair in a ponytail, leaving a few front sections free for braiding. After pulling the braids back, gather the remaining hair into a loose knot.

21. Upside Down Braid and Bun

Turn your hair upside down and create a French braid that extends from the nape of your neck to the nape of your head. After wrapping your hair around an elastic, use a light setting spray. Simple or elaborate, cute messy buns are all lovely in their own unique ways.

22. Side Swept Low Bun

Using just your fingers, divide the hair into three sections. Each section should be twisted and pinned in several places, ending with a sloppy bun twisted to one side. How ideal a mess!

23. Messy Bun with Volume

This elegant style gives the hair more volume without going overboard. The messy bun look is instantly elevated from casual to formal with a bouffant. Highlights are a lovely added bonus when working with hairstyles that involve twisting and wrapping.

24. High Bun with Flat Twists

Are you wondering how to add more creativity to a messy bun? The clue lies in the interwoven details. The key to making a statement with your hair is to combine a fishtail top bun with rope twist braids running the length of the head!

25. Messy Twisted Bun

To add a delicate yet elegant detail to the straightforward style, gather all of the dried strands into a low bun and twist a section over the hair elastic. To soften this knot, wear it with side tendrils or bangs.

26. Parisian Chic Hairstyle

This appears to be a natural look. Take a cue from Parisian luxury and wear your messiest bun to an elegant gathering. Remember to apply your preferred hair fixator to ensure that your hair will remain intact throughout the day. To look put together and effortlessly Parisian chic, wear it with pearls and sunglasses.

27. Long Side Braid Updo

This untidy bun for long hair will elevate your side braid to a new level. We realize it is difficult to believe, but this hairstyle serves as evidence that a braid and a bun can coexist peacefully. Try it at least once if you have highlights or different color shades.
