The Messy Bun Just Got A Lot Simpler

Ah, who doesn't love a messy bun? It's the perfect hairdo for those mornings when you've pressed the snooze button more often than you should have — or those days when your hair just isn't coming out the way you'd like. (I know I've been there a few times!)

But believe it or not, this messy hairstyle isn't as simple as it looks; it does require a little bit of work, much like a chic French braid.

In the video below, however, YouTube sensation Zoella shows us a fairly simple way to perfect the fabulous messy bun.

As per her suggestion, it's best to try the messy bun look on hair that hasn't been washed in a day or two. (That's also the perfect time to try her “super easy dutch side braid.")

The first step is to put your hair in a high ponytail. Then, Zoella twists the ponytail from top to bottom and wraps it around the hair tie.

Now pay attention to the technique she shows us at the 2:58 mark in order to achieve the messy bun. It's so simple and leads to a gorgeous final result.

Of course, it's best to add a little bit of hairspray to keep the hairstyle in place.
