How to Create Messy Bun Hairstyles for Men
Prepare your hair.
Wash hair with Dove Men+Care Thick & Strong Fortifying 2 In 1 Shampoo + Conditioner, then towel dry your hair or use a blowdryer so that your hair is at least 90% dry before you start. To begin styling, finger comb or gently comb through your hair. You want to keep some texture to your hair to give it that second-day look.
Create a low ponytail.
Smooth your hair back and gather it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck.
Loop half of ponytail through.
This is the first secret: Leave some of your hair out on purpose! Loop hair through a ponytail holder but leave part of the ends hanging. The loose sections of the hair hanging out of the bun give this hairstyle the messy and undone effect which makes the look.
Use hair pins.
You know why your man bun never stays put throughout the day? You’re not using hair pins! These little styling tools are your friend. Insert hair pins around the base of the bun to keep it in place.
Done!
Now you’re finished with your messy bun! Tame any annoying flyaways or cowlicks with Axe Natural Look: Understated Cream which will also provide your hair with a light hold.
