Hair stylist to the fashion elite George Northwood gives a masterclass in putting hair up into a bad hair day bun, by Susannah Taylor.
Take a comb and lightly backcomb all of the roots throughout the whole of the head and spray some Redken Style Connection Quick Tease 15, £11.85 (http://bit.ly/1qYuNM7), into the roots.
Next, make sense of the mess by lightly brushing over it with a Mason and Pearson Brush, £39.50 (http://bit.ly/1s6I9s3) and continue to lightly spray with Redken’s Quick Tease.
Then, like a plait, divide the hair at the nape into three sections, take each section and roll it up into a bun or messy knot and secure it in place with a pin. The keys to using pins successfully to secure hair in place is to firstly put backcombing into the root then use a product such as Quick Tease, which acts as a pin cushion for the pin. When you’ve got the hair where you want it, secure it and go down and back on itself with the pin to secure it in place.
You may be left with hair reminiscent of an older lady as it’ll have a lot of width on the sides. Smooth the sides back and pin into place, keeping them really tight.
Finally, take some Pureology Colour Stylist Strengthening Control Hair Spray, £14.25 (http://bit.ly/1sotxhO), over the hair.
George’s top tip for achieving this look is to not over think it. Be playful and let your hair get messy, while keeping the sides quite tight. Experiment and enjoy!

Hi, my name is George North hood and today I'm going to show you how to solve the problem of waking up with the worst hair ever. Firstly, we're going to get the comb and lightly back home all of the roots throughout the whole of the head and spray, some of redkin quick teas in at the roots. This really is back combing in a bottle and will help you achieve that fat cleaning. You need next, we'll make sense of the messed by lightly, brushing it over with a Mason and Pearson and continually to lightly spray with ready and Krypton's. Next, like a Platt, we're going to divide the hair at the nape into three sections: take each section and roll it up into a bun or a messy knot and secure in place with a pin. The key to using pins successfully to secure a hair in place is to firstly put back combing into the root and use a product like the quick tease that acts as a pin cushion for the pin and next is when you've got the hair. Where you want it go in with the pin and down and back on itself to secure into place, I'm using our traditional hair pins. It'S these! You need, as you can see, it's a little bit old lady now, because it's got too much width at the side. So I'm going to pull it back and pin into place getting the sides really tight and the back just messy by keep adding pins and messiness. Finally, we're going to take some pure ology hair spray lightly, miss the hair, getting the fat quite messy sides quite tight and the top a little bit fluffy. My top tip for achieving this look is to not think about it too much. Don'T look in the mirror. Be playful with it and keep the sides quite tight with the hairspray and experiment and enjoying it. You
