Get the Messy Double Bun Look
Step 1: Start with Second-Day Texture
This hairstyle looks best on lived-in hair. If you have second- or even third-day hair, you’re on the right track. If not, no need to worry. There are plenty of hair hacks and hair products that can help you achieve the look. Either backcomb your hair or use a dry shampoo like Dove Between Washes Clarifying Dry Shampoo to remove excess oil giving you a fresh, voluminous, and textured base.
2. Section Hair
You need two sections of hair to create this messy double bun style. Part hair from ear to ear and section off with a hair clip.
3. Create Your Buns
Now its time to create each bun. Start with the lower section of hair first. Gather this section into a ponytail and coil the ends into a mini bun. Use hair pins to secure in place and repeat with the top section of hair.
4. Add Volume
Using the tail of a comb, slide through the front section of hair and gently lift for volume. This will give you the pompadour effect. Pull a few pieces of hair out at the front to enhance the messy look.
5. Set and Wear!
Now it’s time to finalize your messy double bun style. Set hair with a hairspray like TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray Texture Hold Level 1.
