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.

TRESemme Ultimate Hold Hairspray

Editor’s tip: To keep your ‘do looking on point all day, don’t forget to give it a generous spritz of the TRESemmé Ultimate Shine Hold Hairspray. This hairspray not only gives you long-lasting hold but also help to protect against frizz, without leaving any sticky residue!

The solution? Sleep with braided pigtails the night before Guy Fawkes and then undo them in the evening to get these lush, loose waves. Credit: @fashiogalsz
