Messy Buns For Short Hair

What'S up guys and welcome back to my channel so for today's video, I'm gon na be showing you guys the read different messy bun hairstyles that are have been like my go-to lately. These work really great for short hair really for any hair type. But I wanted to make this video because I feel like sometimes it's so hard to find hairstyles that are a very quick to do for your hair and be work well on short hair and I feel like there's tons of hair tutorials out there. That show you how to do things that might take a little bit, but I really love the idea of doing some hair tutorials that literally take you less than five minutes and use very little products at all. I'M gon na show you guys how I do my three favorite messy bun hairstyles and, if you'd like to see how I achieve them, then just keep watching cuz we're gon na get started. Okay, so this first look is one that I like to call the og bun. You probably already do it. You probably really know how to do it, but I just wanted to show you guys in case. I give you some other idea, or I don't know new tips and tricks for it, and so it's just basically going to be a the og messy bun. So a lot of the times I won't even take a brush. I might just kind of like use. My fingers, I feel like that's what makes it the messiest, but my hair is a few days turkey, so I might use a brush just to kind of help it a little bit smoother and cleaner, at least in the back. I always brush my hair out right before I do this as well, so so it doesn't have to be like super perfect or anything I feel like. If it looks too perfect, then it doesn't really. You know it's not really a messy button so usually about right. Here is when I'll throw in a ponytail do, as I say, not as I do. I have this like magenta ponytail, it's not ideal. I can't find a blond one, so once it's up top there don't worry if, like hairs fall out like this, because obviously we're short hair, that's gon na then we're gon na worry about that at the end. So I'm gon na take my ponytail and I'm going to wrap it around, but I'm not going to pull the hair all the way through. So it's just gon na be kind of like a little knot up top like that, and I usually just kind of start to pull it apart to make it bigger so that there's a loop on each side. Now at this point, if you like, like that, obviously you could just leave it like that, but I don't really like to leave it in that sort of. Like I don't know it counts like a slinky to me, so I usually just take one of the ends. Just so like super lightly, and I wrap it over that ponytail and I'll start adding bobby pins into the base and then they'll be the other side of the coil that you'll wrap around the back side. So that you're, for the most part, hiding the ponytail and I'll just take another bobby pin into the base. And that's when I kind of pull it apart again and I'll take any of those little fallout pieces and just pin them up into the back. Because when you have short hair, there's really no other option, it's not like there's this magical end-all trick to hide these little fallout pieces. It'S just gon na happen with short hair. So I just kind of pinned those up into the back. I usually crisscross them and if there's any pieces at the end that are like sticking out like that, then you could you could leave it it's cute. Sometimes when it looks like you know, pretty messy or you can kind of take one and like tuck them in. I usually just sort of yeah tuck it in a little bit and that's how it looks so it's just a really easy, like I'm gon na go run errands, I'm gon na do grocery shopping, whatever I'm around the house, and it literally takes five seconds the longer. Your hair is the easier I think that it is and the bigger and Messier it can be, but this is sort of how it is for my shorter hair this next one is one that maybe not everyone is going to like, because it does involve really slicking. The hair back and parting it closer to the middle. I prefer, I think, just because the way my hair is laying today we're gon na keep it right here at this part, but I think parting it down. The center is cuter for this look, so this one. I do use a brush and what I just do is I start to kind of start brushing everything back on one side at a time and then I'll kind of do the same with the other. I don't really have any product in my hair, so you may end up wanting to use some kind of like pomade to keep everything back, but for the sake of this video, I'm not really using any products. So this is where we have it all kind of slicked back somewhat nicely, and I like to take it towards the lower to middle part of my head and I will just take a ponytail again. I don't pull it all the way through, but I create like a little bun and if I can do it one more time around I'd prefer this ponytail is probably not gon na. Let me do I have it all up like that and just like this hiding its bun and you can either either let it like just sit as the way that it is like really tiny or if you wanted to make it a little Messier in the back. You could do so so sometimes I'll do that and I'll just like take the pieces that are sticking out cuz again with short hair, you're gon na get that and I'll just sort of again tuck the bobby pins into the base of the button. So that's sort of what it looks like from the side in the back a little. It'S really so simple. I just think that parting it down. It makes it look a little bit like you put some sort of effort in it, even though it took me like five minutes to create this. So it's one that I go for sometimes if I'm wanting to look a little bit more pulled together, but I only took five minutes to create this, so this last one in my opinion, works best when your hair is a little bit wavy. So I did add just a couple waves to the top of my hair, so this one I usually do if it's my hair was wavy the day before and I wake up and it still has a little bit of a wave. But just I kind of touch up the top layer and I just put my hair up in a bun, so this, I usually add just a little bit of volume in my hair. So I might kind of like please just a few sections of it. Not super. Put together just you know a little something and then what I like to do is I take start with one side again. This doesn't have to be super quick together, cuz, it's meant to be like messy fun, but make sure there's no like holes in your hair. Anything like that, I take my ponytail and again I don't pull the pony all the way through. I just create like a little tiny bun, so it's a low bun and then what I do is I kind of take some pieces that are already wanting to fall down and I'll start kind of like pulling the back out to make it loose. Maybe I could stick a bobby pin in there to like help it really stay in the place. I want it and then I'll do the same with the other side, just kind of like pull down pieces that definitely want to fall or just make it kind of. Like a soft and romantic and again just kind of like pull on pieces in the back all right so now at this point we just have like this low bun hanging out back there and you can leave it, as is, if you wanted, or you can again Like pull it apart, to make it a little Messier and if there's any like little hairs, sticking straight out I'll, just sort of tuck them under into the base of the bun, so that beat bobby pins are hidden and that's basically just sort of how it looks. It'S just really low and romantic that literally takes no time at all. If I want to look again somewhat put together, but maybe I don't have the time or maybe I just don't feel like it, and lately it's just been sort of my go-to look. It'S super simple: it's really easy and I just feel like it's so pretty for spring. So that's it for this really quick, three hair tutorials on messy buns. I hope you enjoyed. I hope it helped give you some different tips and tricks for your hair. Obviously, it doesn't have to be just short hair that you do this with literally anybody's hair length can do this. It'S just it'll look a little fuller in the back on some if your hair is longer or maybe if it's a little shorter than mine - and it won't look as full but pretty much anyone's hair type can do this.
