2. Half-up bun

Don’t worry if you’re torn between an updo or wearing your tresses down for Guy Fawkes Night, because this half-up, half-down bun (AKA the hun) is the perfect in-between! Keep your hair wavy and casual for a relaxed look to really ramp up the volume!

 

Editor’s tip: If you’re dealing with second day strands, you can give them a quick refresh with the VO5 Dry Texturising Spray. Not only will it help amp up your hair’s texture, but it will also give it an ‘effortlessly undone’ finish.
