If you have short hair you might be upset about a certain lack of hairstyles due to not having enough length. Messy buns for short hair are often overlooked since some women believe that the buns are out of the question.

Meanwhile, messy buns are a surprisingly fresh hairstyle that can make any woman look fabulous regardless of her hair length. Of course, if you have a pixie, this style won’t work for you. However, if you have at least some length, such as from a short bob or a shag, you can create an amazing messy bun.

How to Make a Messy Bun for Short Hair

Learning how to make a messy bun for short hair can help you enjoy a special hairstyle on any day of the week. Here are a few steps to make a fabulous bun.

i) Curl Your Locks

If you already have curly or wavy hair, you are in luck and you can skip this step. A messy bun involves adding your hair some texture. That’s why you need to take out a curling iron. The best part about this step is that you don’t have to make neat and appealing waves. Just make whatever you can. Don’t spend more than 5 minutes doing it.

ii) Brush Your Hair

Give your hair a slight brush not to separate the locks but to make the hair somewhat more voluminous. Make sure to use a brush. A comb will create the opposite results.

iii) Tease Your Locks

Take the top strands and lift them up. Take a fine-toothed comb and comb the hair from the roots to the ends while holding the strand up. Make teasing motions to create more volume. Repeat the same with all the top strands.

iv) Make A Ponytail

Create a low ponytail. When you pull the hair together, make sure you do it tightly. This way, a small bump of hair will appear on your head. Don’t worry if the ponytail is too small. Just make sure you can fold it in two. If you have a hairstyle that has more hair on top than the bottom, then you need to make a high ponytail.
