How to make a messy bun for medium to long hair: modern, tall, low, voluminous. Step by step instructions, photo

At different times, different hairstyles are in vogue, based on hair length and facial features. That being said, fashion often returns. So, for example, careless hair tufts were popular in the 50s all over the world, they came to Russia in the early 60s.

Despite the fact that the hairstyle is seemingly uncomplicated, over time, designers and the craftswomen themselves have come up with many variations of a simple and comfortable bun of hair. For all their beauty, most of them are not difficult to make on your own.

There is a stereotype that a bun is one of the most natural hairstyles, so she should look like a fashionista hastily gathered her hair and ran on business. However, modern "bundles" have gone beyond simplicity and there are whole types that are most appropriate for certain hair types and circumstances.

A messy bun for medium hair

On the day of the beginning, it is worth clarifying that medium hair reaches the shoulder blades. At first glance, this is not the best length for self-collection in a hairstyle, but even with it it is possible to collect a beautiful bun.

This option is suitable if the face looks good with hair pulled back, without additional front volume. They are worn either at home, during a walk, or you can make an office version using a gel, preventing any attempts of curls to break free.

To create a beautiful beam you need:

1. Use a thin small transparent elastic to make a medium-high tail. This is an important point, because if the tail is high, the lower hair will break out over time, if too low, the bun will get in the way, it will look like it has "slid" down.
2. Wind the hair around your finger, twisting it in a spiral, then wrap it around the base of the tail, around the elastic.
3. Fix the tip with hairpins so that it is tight and does not fall out. Next, using invisibility, you need to fix the beam in a circle.

Careless bun for long hair

Long hair is made for hairstyles and is easier to work with, especially for non-professionals. Today, the fashion for length has returned to girlish circles, so a bun of long hair is suitable for younger ladies with any type of face.

Its functional feature lies in everyday wear, this option looks spontaneous and very feminine.

A sloppy bun can be done this way if the hair is long:

1. The hair is collected at the crown in a high tail, with the last turn of the elastic, the hair stretches slightly upward, forming a hair cushion (you do not need to make it too high, otherwise the bun will lose volume).
2. The long hair remaining in the tail is curled around the base of the tail.
3. In a circle, the hairstyle is fixed with invisibility to match the hair.

Date bundle

The misconception that you need to wear the best on dates, visit a hairdresser and make-up artist. Emphasis on naturalness, regardless of what beauty is popularized in magazines and on television, is always in fashion.

If the hair is of medium (or more than medium) length, a volumetric bun is collected as follows:

1. The hair that frames the face is smoothed out with a styler so that you can style it as smoothly as possible.
2. Below the back of the head, the hair is collected in a ponytail (including straightened strands).
3. Hair is combed a little from the base of the tail.
4. On the sides, two thin strands are separated.
5. From the ends, the hair curls a little, to the base of the tail, forming a soft (but not fluffy) hair cushion.
6. Under the tail, it is fixed with invisibility and hairpins.
7. With the side strands, the bundle is framed in a circle by the cross method.
8. Depending on the severity of the hair, the hairstyle must be fixed with hairpins.
9. You can spray it with varnish to help your hair last longer.
10. It is very important to fix the base well, otherwise, with a careless movement, the hair will again unwind into a ponytail.
11. Small silk kerchiefs are often tied over the bun, but this is true if, in general, the girl is referring to a retro image.

Evening or festive option

If you look at most of the evening hairstyles, you might not realize that many of them are based on a bun. They are suitable for the most part either for young ladies who are not afraid of the weighting of the image, or for middle-aged women, because this type of woman suits the volume of the face along with the hair gathered back.

A casual bun is easy to do as a hairstyle for a gala event. But you can't do without bouffants and hairspray. The main recommendation for removing such beauty is not to try to comb dry, fresh hair.

It is necessary to remove all hairpins and hairpins, wash your hair with shampoo, hold the silicone-containing balm 2 times longer than usual, rinse with warm water, only after that, after drying your hair a little, you can comb it.

Otherwise, there is a risk of breaking the ends.

1. Hair is combed from the roots, covered with hair spray.
2. They are gathered in a high ponytail, with the exception of two side strands. On the last curl of the elastic, the hair remains twisted in a loop, without finally threading the ends of the hair.
3. At the bottom, the tips are fixed with hairpins.
4. The ends of the resulting hair loop are connected by an invisible bottom.
5. Loose strands are braided into voluminous pigtails or simply wrapped around a fixed bundle.
6. A couple of thin strands along the edges of the face can be twisted, covered with a face and left as a decoration.

Bundle - fan

This option has 2 features, depending on your wishes: it can be done below and above. The lower one is suitable for girls who are not afraid of the effect of wet, "licked" hair, the upper one is more typical for women of the older generation.

1. Hair is straightened with a styler, divided into an even parting.
2. They are divided into two parts horizontally: upper and lower.
3. The lower part is taken into the ponytail, leaving a loop of the hair not stretched out in the last turn of the elastic.
4. If the bundle is lower, it remains lying, if the upper one, it must be fixed so that the fan itself looks up.
5. The top strand, parted, wraps the bundle in a circle.
6. With a gel of strong fixation, the strands in the bundle are divided so that the hair looks separate, and not a monolith.

Asymmetrical messy bun

The idea of ​​such a hairstyle was born in America in the distant 30s, it was then that ladies fell in love with asymmetric hairstyles on their heads, and over time this fashion has reached our days. This performance is suitable for all ages, for any type of face, due to the fact that there are an incredible variety of options, and all of them are more festive.

Curling up a messy bun on straight hair will help. This volume gives airiness to the image.

1. Hair is combed a little at the roots.
2. If they are straight, then they twist a little closer to the ends.
3. Collect in the lateral tail below, near the ear.
4. Wrap either up or down, depending on which position it will be more convenient to fasten.
5. They are attached at the base and around the bundle, if the hair is very light, then sometimes one method of attachment is enough.
6. In addition to curly hair that will knock out of the general bun, you can pull the curls a little (but not completely) from the hairstyle.

Bundle with a sock or donut

3. With two hands, a donut with hair is twisted to the base of the tail.

How to decorate a bunch: jewelry and accessories

A careless bun will look even more natural if you choose the right jewelry. In ordinary versions, decoration is used to complement the image, and in the evening it is almost a mandatory attribute.

Many beautiful gizmos are used for decoration:

1. Flowers (artificial or natural) are perfectly inserted between the strands. Artificial, as a rule, are already planted on a hairpin.
2. Bows are attached from above, from the side, but the classic version is from the bottom of the volumetric bundle. Moreover, their size should be in harmony with the collected hair. If the bundle is small, the huge bow will not work, and if the bundle is large, then the small bow will be lost against its background.
3. Thin silk scarves are wrapped one or more times around a bun of hair and tied with a bow at the bottom.
4. In hairdressing stores, a huge amount is sold with a medium-sized comb up to 10 centimeters, slightly rounded to the shape of the head. They are decorated with a scattering of crystals, flowers and other decorative elements.

Hairstyles can be formal or casual, even the most conservative girls periodically like to change their image. Collecting your hair in a messy bun, you can make different versions of it, and always be different within the same hairstyle.
