Messy hairstyles for perfectly-imperfect tresses every day
Monday: High bun
Yes, it’s the day that shall not be named. But instead of resigning yourself to the Monday blues, you need to get yourself a hairdo that’ll kick off your week in the best way possible!
This everyday look needs to be on your style list when it comes to messy hairstyles. A high bun is just as perfect for smart office wear and is sure to stay put all day long, meaning you’ll #slay from dawn to dusk. Credit: @morganhairco
Editor’s tip: Now we’re sure you know how to master a high bun, but did you know that by spritzing your tresses with a dry shampoo (like VO5 Volume Dry Shampoo), your bun will have extra staying power? Yep it’s true, it’s not just for saving greasy strands!
Tuesday: Macaron buns
Okay, the worst part of the week is over, so now it’s time to experiment with something a bit more refreshing. Macaron buns are 2017’s surprise hair trend and we couldn’t be more thankful for this dreamy hairstyle if we tried. Credit: @kristin_ess
Ready to be Parisian chic? Then you need to grab the TONI&GUY Matt Texture Dry Shampoo to build up the texture and body of your tresses. To style, follow the same method you would to create space buns, but rock them lower at the nape of your neck. Et voila!
