Would you like to give one of these hairstyles a go and try to make your own messy bun? Here are some tips to make it easier for you:

• Prep is a must! Curling your hair before putting it up will make it noticeably more manageable and easier to work with.
• Backcomb the roots to give your hairstyle some volume.
• Use texturizing spray all over your locks – it will make them thicker and ensure better grip.
• Bobby pins are preferable to U-pins if you want your updo to stay in place.
• Those with long and heavy hair should always make a ponytail as a base – it will ensure the longevity of your style and prevent it from falling out.
• Girls with shorter hair must try the loop trick.
• Face framing is a must when it comes to an effortless look.
• Don’t forget about a hairspray!
