The Love Island gang are not your average human beings, and nothing proves that more than Molly-Mae’s recent hair tutorial on how to get her famous top knot hair bun. I’m pretty sure it defies all laws of science and logic, so what happens when an average girl with no jawline and no 24 inch bonds tries it for herself? CHAOS, THAT’S WHAT.

Alexa Swit geofflove, hey guys, welcome to my channel hope, you're all doing really. Well. If you live in the UK, the chances are that your summer has so far been entirely taken over by one thing, and one thing only the fact that Boris freaking, Johnson or Jeremy freaking hunt are gon na genuinely run the country. Honestly. If global warming could just hurry up and do away with us at this point, it would probably be for the best. Am i right, ladies with that minor detail in mind, it's no surprise really that we've all needed to turn to extreme escapism to cope with reality. Recently, meaning that love island has single-handedly ruled everybody's lives for the past six weeks and if you've never heard of love island. It'S the new David after row, documentary condo, the premise of love island - is that a very attractive shaven silky-smooth bunch of guys, with tiny nipples placed on enormous pecs, alongside a bunch of beautiful lovely girls who are all just sirens from the depths in disguise. I'M sure she's, ready and waiting to sell this detox products gon na make up yourselves or baby. They all head into a Spanish villa together to get to know each other, just all oiled up and shiny, just ready for sunburn and thrusting and 50,000 pounds. At the end, it's the best look, don't pretend you're above it. Don'T pretend you don't know anything about it, you're, the worst kind of person. If you do that, you know that Michael the snake, even if it's just from overhearing people at work, you've got mates that they actually talk to in the kitchen. Most of all, you know that when you got for work, drinks you're still just clock-watching at the corner of your eye to make sure you're home in time for the dumping, because no one's above loved Island. We are all live Island. 2019. I don't think it takes a genius to figure out that I myself would never make it onto live Island because I have too many chins and not enough chisel. I also look rubbish in neon. My boobs are triangle-shaped and, most importantly, I don't have the hair of a mermaid princess and never before has that last bit been more apparent to me, then, when I saw a video go around online of villa legend, 2k 19 Molly Mae, giving a little tutorial on How to recreate her iconic hair bun for anyone who's still pretending at this point not to be familiar. Molly may is a 20 year old influencer. She seems like a proper sweetheart. She would have absolutely hated my grubo self if we were at school together and during the show she has signed up to a new life as Tommy Fury's, new mum, she's, probably gon na win the love island war with a discount code that we'll all be using To get 20 % off pretty little thing very soon, mimei is everything that love island makes me want to be she's, just very good, being a girl who's good at girly. Things like she will genuinely just grow up to be Pam from government and Stacey like head to toe her skin, looks like it's been polished with a chamois leather and her hair is so beautiful, which takes me very nicely back to the bun, the bun in question. Here'S some photos of Molly Mae wearing said bun, looking like an absolute snack and now here's an accurate artist's representation of me when I wear my hair in a bun, it's not quite the same. Having watched this tutorial of Molly show us all how it's done. I can securely refuse to believe that anyone who's not on love island can achieve a Molly May bun and make it look like that. I think it's scientifically impossible. I don't! I don't know how she does it. She'S, not real. So today we're gon na test it out and see what happens when an average girl with no 50,000 pounds, no box a boyfriend and absolutely no jaw definition tries to copy her hair bun tutorial. So this is average girl tries Molly, May hair, not mystic right. I'Ve got it on my laptop in front of me here for visual reference. I'M truly gon na need all the help I can get mainly because Molly May has beautiful long, mermaid, hair extensions mine's currently like the hair of like your average geography teacher at the moment that kind of length were it's not really long. It'S not really short. It'S just a girl who needs a haircut terribly badly looks like that is my everyday headline. She'S, like sure he's done that that Ameri cool I'm also doing it that a mirror, but I suspect, not to the same result. Okay, first of all, she looks unreal obviously, but if I was to end up bikini top, I would look moldy literally I'd. Look like dawn off Brad. I mean I've got very doughy texture head to toe really, but that would just truly emphasize it to a new level acrobatics already. What was the first bit I've forgotten already. I haven't known anything's of my hair in about 15 years. I just kind of shake shake it around a little bit bit of this bit. Of that I call it the NIT. I mean it's more Hermione than Molly made, but we'll go with it right, we're going in take your hair forward. So all your hair is facing downwards, like this right, okay headless. How can you be nearly headless like this with a Molly, Mabel, Molly Mayer, who my Molly, may I just I just lost boy in there she's, just everything I've ever wanted in a woman. I just love Molly Mayer and I love serving a cheese and ketchup on bread, Molly Mayer I got hit in the head a few times getting worse. That'S I'm not sure this is getting me on the violent anytime soon, especially this nice little comb-over. This was the hairstyle that Molly Mae would have been doing on love. Island 2006. I literally look like every emo lead singer. I ever fancied sorry Molly, I'm getting distracted! What'S next babe, my hat like side, swishy pony, I grabbed it with the other hand, well sort of a little swishy Pony, Ariana Grande right. Well, I've never noticed that I've got a receding hairline for there. We are something else to be insecure about good. The violins allowance really adding to the list gathering my head: we've done this wishy pony. I think we've done some kind of sushi sea lions, very shiny, very sweaty - quite bald, actually yeah good twist it. While it's in place what like long ways twist it while it's in place twist, it again happened, bloody al where's, my bubble. She only has to do it twice. Why do I look like a dinner lady? She just did this, so I can solve all my problems. Oh what this is like when you meet a boy on holiday at a resort in me Orca they always have. This don't know Molly says so, that's pretty much it and I I agree that is pretty much it for any self-esteem I ever had. Hers looks like a beautiful little world of cotton candy just sitting atop of her lovely, pretty face. That looks like like a growth that is my everyday hair bun I mean, what's that? Oh I'm, just why is that come from looks like the internet explorer logo? What is this I'll, just uh? What I've got round there? Shall we well here's our comparison right? You choose me right, I think it's safe to say I have no skill or talent of any kind people. You know what people criticize love my own people for not having any talent per se. I would actually argue I'm worse. That is indeed a talent to make that look. Good. Look at this well J. What I predicted Miss Trunchbull! It'S actually worryingly, accurate! That'S just coupling up around the fire pit of me just going mrs. D, missus hi, mrs. F! I what most women married were woods. Selvi 11 much too good for children. The main reason I could never be on love Island other than this hairstyle right now. I think this hairstyle is the like first interview stage, and the other main factor is that I would just be covered in heat rash from head to toe all times. So that's me Miss Trunchbull reporting for duty. I think, if nothing else, this is mainly just proved that nobody, you would fancy me on love island, not even Welsh, Callum, I'm just them. I'M just gon na give it one more go, but that's that's not what I'm actually sweating, I'm actually sweating. This is quite intense. Why do I look like a Victorian nanny? I look like I'd, be called Elizabeth coming to look after Mary and Michael. That'S, it's not right. I really really look like. I would be a cook in a big, Victorian household, my husband's probably a chimney, sweep or milkman, but don't think either of those professions go into love. Island too often, am i all right life's just really awful, sometimes isn't it it's not even straight on my head. It'S not even in the middle how what right, I'm actually gon na try again and try really hard. I just looked like I'm having a really bad time, pretty sure this was how I wore my hair and it couldn't be asked to have a shower for like eight days in a row as a side note as well. I mean this is now a very chic hairstyle, maybe perhaps not on myself, but on these loved eyelid stars looks great um. I will say, however, that when I was growing up when you put your hair up like this, it was always referred to as a smackhead, but then, like I thought, if I was to move actually it's pretty stable. Oh I've definitely left clips in there somewhere. I find them in a few days. Oh what's that that's not clip! Why is that so gracious I'm losing the world a little bit. It'S actually making me a bit sad, I feel very inferior. This is the worst one. Yet this is like a feral animals found its way onto my head. I'M gon na stop. I'M gon na stop Molly Mae, I'm gon na leave that once you really appreciate you, though, I mean girl. So if you plan on recreating this one, my main advice would be don't look life's tough and sometimes you just need a reality check. Okay and the reality of this is, unless you've got 24-inch top notch. Platinum blonde heavily conditioned olaplex bonds glued into your scalp. It'S not gon na happen and you will remain team Trunchbull, however hard you try, although real bonus points, if you do manage to get it in the middle of your ads, because apparently that's easier said than done tonight on love, island Lucy makes a tit of herself. I'M not only do I not have a Molly Mae bun, but I've also now made my hair extremely greasy. So, although a huge success and I'll see you guys very soon, haven't you you
Comments
Heather Collins: Lucy, Lucy, Lucy ... if only you knew. Messy bun does not maketh the man. You have more beauty in your little finger than the entirety of the Love Island crew put together. This ordinary girl, 20 years your senior, truly hopes you realise that one day. xx
Liefs, Lotte: There's only one thing you need to do: prep your hair with lots of dry shampoo before you want to make a bun. Her hair looks much more dry and damaged than your shiny, healthy hair. Add dry shampoo to give your hair more volume and texture, then the bun will look much bigger!
abbs: I refused to watch love island for years and thought I'd hate it. This year I gave in. I'm obsessed with it. This is me confessing my sins. I also tried Molly Mae's bun and it didn't work and I became very sad.
Nina Ashworth: Also, give over Lucy your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I was admiring it whilst you baked lemon drizzle slices last week
Madeleine Taylor: Absolute top quality video. Cheered me right up after the Boris news. My hair is not thick enough for this business. If I try this kind of bun it looks like I have a small dog poo on top of my head.
krizzys: I saw a girl do a perfect hair bun on the bus once in 5 seconds flat! It was like watching actual magic happen!! I think it's a genetic thing, like being able to make your tongue tube-shaped, you can either do it or you can't
Llama GeekChic: Lil secret to a full hair bun: hair needs to be 2 or 3 days old after your wash Comb your hair with your head swooped down Swoop your head back up and scrunch it on top Messy top knot which really took 3 second but looks effortless
Anna W: My bun is approximately the size of a grape, it’s all her extensions that make it look nice. I don’t understand why they made her do the tutorial when that’s the way every bun ever has been done
Alexandra Kelly: ahhh pls do more average girl tries hair tutorials this was so funny!!! xxxx
Miss Darjeeling: Girl youre amazing! If your hair was the same length as Mollys, the bun would've worked out for sure Anyway, lots of love from a german viewer
TheBigM: I don't watch love island. I don't know who Molly Mae is. BUT I CLICKED ON THIS STRAIGHT AWAY
Britta Albert: Haha! You are so adorable! I love all of your videos! You are such a ray of sunshine and I love how positive your videos are!
Sarah Ninksmith: I started watching Love Island last year and was very quickly addicted to it. As an American, I was very excited to watch the US version and I was severely let down. What I love about the UK version is that its super raunchy and the US version can't compete. Molly-Mae is my fave. I have sneaking suspicion her and Tommy will most likely win. Much love to you Lucy!
Sam Ladyman: I love your videos and this one was hilarious. You’re a gem and you should be on TV, so so funny xxx
Jo Gould: I get ridiculous bun envy so can really relate to this! On another note I'd love to see a bunch of real northern women do Love Island, it'd be way more funny and those pretty boys would be in tears by the end of the first day! xxx
Irecla Imalée: i love it so much when lucy's writer brain comes through. the way she phrases descriptions makes me infinitely happy
Nadine G: I LITERALLY tried to do this today at work and everyone said I looked like miss trunchball. I think you’ve just gotta have fake hair for this to work
Alana: I love that for once there's a hairstyle I can do (with my frizzy curly hair) that people with lusciously smooth straight hair can't
Francesca Stansfield: I relate to this so much! I do not have thick hair that looks effortless in a bun and my hairline is shocking. My hair definitely is more like yours when in a bun than Molly-Maes!
Charlotte Clark: "Smack head bun" made me laugh out loud! Just like when my step dad used to see people with a high ponytail on their head he used to refer to it as a "shoplifters ponytail"
hannah ormsby: Love how positive you are about other women and their looks and not dragging them for it! I definitely had more girl crushes than boy crushes this year
Lauren Butler: Lucy, had a bit of a naff day today, got a job interview - woo, the existential post-grad dread over. Tried on some clothes for said interview only to find out that none of it fit after gaining so much weight - cue the mental breakdown. Despite feeling so low, this video made me laugh so hard. THANK YOU!
Ane S.: You look really good with a bun! You ARE pretty, Lucy. Thanks for the entertainment, though- you give me hope for my own "beauty"-journey whilst mentally ill. Ah, why can't we see ourselves as others do, ey?
Blyth B: I mean, if I had enough hair extensions for 4 people on my head I could probably do that bun!! so funny Lucy!!
EurekaFitness: im crying haha we have ALL tried this tutorial, literally every person in the uk with or indeed without hair has attempted this
Imogen Fraser: Hahahaha you are literally so funny! Screaming throughout this video, your sense of humour is exactly mine to a tea
fizzing_whizzbee: The Miss Trunchble comment made me cry! That is exactly what I say when I put my hair up like that great upload!
Ellie Slaney: PLEASE can we make #TeamTrunchball a thing where we all share pics on twitter of our failed attempts at Molly-Mae's bun
A toddler and teeth: we called it a junkie bun. You had me in stitches
Kylie Parkinson: Lucy! I love your personality! Genuinely find you HILAR!!! Keep it up G! You’re bloody belting! ✨ xx
Destani Watson: My bun always looks like this because my hair is so long and thick. I never knew that someone would be envious of it
Bruna Barbosa: This was hilarious!!! Hopping that Molly Mae doesn't win though
Astrid A: Her hair is damaged and dry, so it tends to... I guess "stick" together better. Your hair is too short and too silky, babe!
tuesdays birdseed: I can achieve the bun if my hair hasn’t been washed in four days and is full of dry shampoo. I also think having two feet of hair does it. I think love island needs more chimney sweeps and milkmen. And I have never seen it. But I’d watch it in a heartbeat if it had people like you on! :D
randimarkala: Lucy I do this a few times a week with my hair and I can tell you that you need long, fine hair to pull this off. It may look like her hair is thick but that’s only because there is so much of it. Trust me I look like I have thick hair only because my hair is so long. And you need a basic run of the mill elastic. It’s not you love, it’s your gorgeous thick hair! ❤️
Sarah Adams: My hair is slightly longer than yours and very thick and I have to say this tutorial was a game changer for me! Two hour drive this afternoon and I got in my boiling car and thought right come on molly mae pull through for me... and it only ruddy worked and looks alright actually! So basically if have long thick hair and it’s winner
yikes: you always crack me up but this has to be the best video I've ever seen, actually cackled all the way through
Katie Purcell: Omg this had me in stitches- thank you Lucy
Martyna Kwaśniewicz: I need to share with you a little secret, Lucy. Although I have enough hair to do that bun, it doesn't necessary helps me to look different from a potato when I do it ✌️ #averagegirlsadlifefact
Shannon: Now that you've perfected the miss trunchbull look you should do a throw back to your scene kid days I was never brave enough to go full scene so I hovered around the emo mark for a bit and remember the "I can't see - my fringe is in my eyes" days too well oh to be 13, hanging out with *gasp* year 11 & 12 boys and listening to infinity on high all over again!
Karen Curtis: Love the last one , your own style always the best x. Take care everyone
Joy Stevenson: Just had to let you know that you are way prettier than Molly-mae! Not just in looks but also in personality. And anyway, who needs love island when you've got the lovely Adam!! Loved seeing Flo making an appearance in the background!
Jade Lam: I don’t watch Love Island and I genuinely think that you’re more beautiful than her. You are real and you are beautiful:)
Holli Miller: You make me laugh so much!! Don't ever stop being you
Georgina Christmas: You are so hilarious her hair is super long with no layers so of course her bun will look like that . Dry shampoo is how I make mine work but they still look a bit crap . You're a total babe , don't tune into that trash x
Rosa Lombas: I laughed out loud when you said that your hair looked like the internet explorer logo!! ❤️ I love your videos so much
Sarah Bush: Your bun looked great - it was never going to look like Molly-Mae's because you don't have thick, long hair extensions! It's like if you made cupcakes and expected them to look like someone else's chocolate brownies - there's no comparison because they had different ingredients!
LakasitasANDgarrotes: Lucy your hair is just s lot shorter (and far less messy) than hers. I always think your hair looks amazing! I'd like a video on how you make it look so shiny and silky.
Lucy B: You are absolutely hilarious but don't be silly, you are gorgeous! And I'm a 45 year old mum so I'm definitely right
Olivia Boyer: I genuinely feel like we could be bezzie mates you're so funny!! X
Heather Czigan: Lucy. Please tell me you don’t actually think this! You have the talent (and great hair), definitely, just not the hair length. My bun does that all the time when my hair is short.
Jess McD: I actually think this is my favourite video you’ve ever made!!! Actually howling!!
iambeckijayne: Molly-Mae has some serious extensionage...no wonder it looks good. My hair's about the same length as Lucy's but currently suffering the effects of postpartum hair loss, frigging new baby hair sprouting everywhere....FML
Olivia: Laughing out loud So relatable! You still look beautiful
Love Your Lox: This is sooo funny. Ive done a little version of how I do mine, which might help. If I do it Mollys way I also look like a dinner lady hahaha
Marisa Hastie: Haha I relate so much Love this video, I don't think you realise how funny you are
hka_ peeck: I literally cry laughed the whole way through literally you are me everyday love xx
Izzy Savege: Absolutely lolled at this. Love it. Thanks Lucy <3
kirsty wilkes: This made me laugh so much! Thank you xxx
Sharon Speed: @ 6:16, I laughed so hard I peed a little. Omg Lucy, you're hilarious!
Eline Rozendaal: Don’t know Love Island. Have been doing this bun method for years. Easier when you bend over standing up! And brush the hair near your head in the right direction with your fingers. I enjoyed the video!
Kim Braswell: I slept in a top bun. Woke up immediately clicked on your video. My bun looks like your bun lmao. Twins! Love this video!
wasserklaenge: Who cares about the bun, when your face is so much prettier than hers?! By the way can completely relate to the neckhair falling down every time....
Charlotte Nicholls: I love your humour...I'm crying at your Tommy accent impression as it's exactly the same as how my hubby says I speak!! Xx
McKenzie R: I think the bun looks cute on you!!
Urška Popovič: Lucy Wood giving ACTUAL everyday hair bun realness
June Lynch: Lol exactly how mine turned out, Lucy your so funny
Josephine Kirby Sears: The only reason hers stays up is because it’s so stiff, dry and artificial! Natural hair is smooth and silky xx
Bethany Didsbury: i also saw this on twitter and gave it a try, i also failed, you're not the only one lucy!!!
Miranda: Not fresh hair or dry shampoo is key to a messy bun! Also I cheat and will just brush the hair that isn’t going to be in the bun, and ignore the ends. Helps smooth out the hair against your head, and leave the texture for the bun’s volume!
Cortney Sullivan: Honestly the best most accurate description of love island
Elisa F: I was laughing so hard I legigt stopped breathing and panicked XD tbh this is one of the main reasons I shaved my head, just couldn't be bothered to try and recreate any even remotely cool hairstyles because they just looked like something had died on my head
Hannah Elizabeth: Honestly don’t know how Lucy doesn’t realise how beautiful she is. Like definitely on par with the islanders and her hair is so gorgeous and healthy looking.
Anneli vD: You should watch Rosie Ramsey’s hair bun tutorial on IG tv! It’s way funnier than Molly’s and leaves your self-esteem intact ;)
Hannah Hannaamy: laughed so hard. You made my day. Ta chick
Emily Faith: my gosh you are actually the funniest person ever i live for your videos wow
sopheon: I am also 100% not built for love island! I like watching it, but it would be my worst nightmare to be a part of
Paige: I love how nice she is to her Alexa like I’m literally like “Alexa STFU”
Verena: OMG!! Lucy, can you please tell me where you bought that Threat Level Midnight-Poster? I love it, and I need it in my life! Also, I don’t live in the UK and have never seen Love Island, but still very much enjoyed this video
Nicola Davies: Everything you said is so true . I’m dying
Gabriella Taylor: Most accurate description of love island ever
Karen Shillinglaw: I can totally relate to this video....I cannot do hair.... Every hair tutorial I've ever tried has resulted in the same mess lol
Caitlin Janaway: It’s funny because you’re literally me when I tried it
Sanmarie Fourie: Love the yellow I love your sense of humor Love from South Africa
Renea D: Too cute for even trying that with your shorter hair; fellow Trunchbull hair bun here. ♀️
Gaby Countrybell94: When I put my hair in a bun I would make a ponytail and tie it with a hair band then twist the tail like a curl, then wrap the curl twist around the base of the ponytail band
TheKateAshe: Oh, love that layered haircut is not helping in this endeavor.
MamaGoth65 -Kelley Sussman: I have to say I think you are Prettier then Molly Mae and Please stop putting your self down , you are beauitful inside and Out <3
Kimmi__Kaiy: Oh myyyyy god!!!!!! I need this video! A love island related video!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!! Only started watching this year but I'm hooked.
kelsey ko: I recently heard the name of this show from Kiera Bridget's channel... and it sounded lame. Now that you've talked about it, I MUST watch this immediately. You could sell me anything honestly. Love you.
Amy V.: Condolences on your Boris situation, we in the states understand exactly what you're going through.
Emily Herbert: Correct me if I’m wrong but... isn’t that just how you do a bun??
Sara Mathews: The thing is ...you look great with your hair bun. I mean i know it’s funnier if you talk about how unattractive you are but it’s just not true
12missmolly: This is hilarious ❤️
Sandie B: Best line ... “Looks like the Internet Explorer logo” People were giving me some right funny looks when I spat my sushi out to laugh at this! Cheers mate (lol) Xx
Marisa Kreinbihl: 6:14 was LITERALLY my hairstyle when I was a middle school email circa 2010...
Toni Allen: "I've definitely left clips in there somewhere. I'll probably find them in a few days" - I have never related to something more
knivesnflowers: lmfaooo love how u listed everything that would stop u from being on love island apart from being in a relationship
Jessica Ratcliffe: When I did a show once they put love island on whilst we were getting ready and it was the worst thing I've ever seen. All the do is cry and act like they're totally not up for having sex on TV whilst surrounded by people yet that's exactly what ends up happening. It's just one giant frat party with the gossip as to who's getting off with whom is a reality
Anna-May Moon: This was so stressful to watch omg I have a fuck tonne of hair and still end up looking like trenchbull you aren't alone ❤
