Begin by creating a side partition and wearing the headband. Tuck and pull smaller segments of the hair from the headband to fall on either side of your face and use the rest of the hair to create a top bun.

8. Top Bun with Curly hair

If you thought fine curly hair cannot be styled in a top-notch bun, you are horribly wrong. A simple messy bun will look far better when it is on long curly hair. Besides, the bun looks super voluminous with natural curls. Gently pull some stray strands of hair on the sides to finish the look.

9. Half Up Half Down Hairstyle

Show off your long beautiful tresses with a messy top bun at the same time with this improvised half up half down hairstyle. This messy bun for long hair works well on both wavy hairs as well as straight hair.

10. Messy Bun with Tiara

This is one of those messy buns for long hair that highlight your facial features as well. Go for a high bun and use a tiara to surround the bun. You can tuck stray strands of hair around the tiara as well.

11. Bun with Ombre Highlights

This simple variation involves showing off ombre highlights on long hair with a messy bun. However, this is a look that works best on long straight hair. The way straight hair falls on each side of your face loosely as part of your bun creates a beautiful messy look on the whole.

12. High Volume Knotted Bun

This is a lot like the messy knotted bun. Except, you need to make use of the ends of the bun as strays instead of just sticking to front hair. Create a criss-cross look at the crown region with the ends of your messy bun and make sure they are visible from the front.

13. Twin Buns

Why go for a messy bun when you can have two? Go for centre partition and leave hair strands in the front at either side. Proceed to go for top messy buns on long hair at each side and remember to keep your hairdo messy without perfecting the textures.
