Big Messy Bun Tutorial For Curly, Thick, & Long Hair! | Hacks

Hey guys so today I am going to be doing this curly hair bun. If you guys saw on my Instagram page, I posted a couple pictures with this really cute bun. If you guys don't follow me, I'm Lexie Marcella, and I also have this bun in my previous video and a couple of you commented there as well that you wanted to see a tutorial. So here it is it's nothing too special, but I do think it's great for those with long thick hair like I have it duly. It'S like a cheap way to do it. Okay, you don't got a slicked back, a bun, so you're gon na finesse, I'm gon na teach you how to finesse okay. So this is my hair. Oh, I woke up literally so you can do this on really old hair. It doesn't have to be like a bun like I did. You can do it on really old hair, so I'm just spring watered here, so I'm going to spray kind of all over my hair just so I can kind of get it. My curl pattern to kind of like start over, if you know what I mean and there's just water in the spray bottle by the way, so I'm just going to now use a leave-in conditioner. This one is specifically from as I am, but you can use whatever leave-in conditioner, just to add more moisture back into your curls, so I always kind of like to UM like use my hands and flatten out my hair and like smooth it out. If that makes sense, hopefully you can see because my descriptions, not that good but that's kind of like what I like to do to help get rid of the frizz and then scrunch to help create definition. So here I'm going to use a gel, but you can use whatever you want when I want to fake hydration. I actually like to use gel so here I'm using some gel and I will use that to smooth out the frizz and then I'll scrunch afterwards. Just like I did with the leave-in conditioner, I don't know about you guys, but on my last day I'm willing to sacrifice some of my natural hair rules, because I want my hair to look really good and not look like girl. You need to wash your hair. You know what I mean. Hopefully you get what I'm saying so here I am using gel and I'm just going to scrunch to kind of get the curls to come back, and I really do like this gel because it is so like shiny, because my curls look really shiny and it does Help coil them up, so it's going to be completely up to you, guys how you like to do it products you want to use, but those are what I used now. Next, I'm gon na just kind of tie up my hair, like pull it up to tie up into a bun. This is gon na. Take me a second to get off of my hair up, but I get it done. You can't slick it back really tight if you'd like with like gel and stuff like that, but I'm not too crazy about doing that, and I know that if you do it a lot. It'Ll definitely cause breakage around the like outside of your hair, and you don't want that. So I'm just kind of very lightly going over with this smoothing brush, I'm not pushing down really hard. I'M not trying to get all my knots out or anything like that. I'M just gon na use this to try kind of like smooth to give a little bit of an illusion, but I don't really care you feel me, so I'm gon na do that and then get the back. So it kind of looks a little bit. Nice kind of sort of so then, after that I will start to create that cool bun. So to do that with all of my hair. What I do is I twist really really tightly here like at the root kind of I just really tightly here and then, when I get to like I go around once. I guess you could say then, as you can see, it's not my bun. So I'll just tie anymore, I don't really wrap the hair really tight here. I kind of like it bigger here to make the bun look really big and curly, so if it makes sense, if I, if you can understand me, I just make it tight at the root and then really loose at the ends. I don't like wrap my ends or tuck my ends under anything like that. Then here I'm just grabbing a rubber band to secure everything over, but, as you can see, it's gon na be really loose and that's okay. This is great for those who gets headaches just like I do. If your hair is too tight, I'm gon na show you a way to make sure that you won't get any headaches and it's gon na be really easy. All you do is get you need. Those big bobby pins and I just use those to secure the button, so it's totally it'll totally work. Trust me. I do this all the time this makes it look like you. You know you really tried, but you didn't you fool me. So I just kind of pull apart and adjust my bun to the way that I, like it and I'll, add more pins here and there to secure everything. But literally that's all. I do and I absolutely love the way that this comes out. I think it looks really cute. You could slick down your baby hairs here, like I said, I'm willing to sacrifice when I need to stretch out my wash days, so I put some hairspray but yeah. That is pretty much my curly hair bun really easy great for those times. We need to wash your hair, but you don't have the time. So thank you guys so much for watching and I will catch you in my next video bye.
