How To: Messy topknot bun

Happy Father's days to all the real men who step up and take care of their kids and to all the moms pulling double duty!! 

I also want to say hello to all the people reading from Venezuela, Russia, Australia, and Ukraine! Its so insane to think that people on the other side of the world are reading my blogs!! 

Today I wanted to put together a how to for the super cute, messy topknot buns that have become SUPER popular!! I have tried to achieve this look for MONTHS and my bun is either cute or messy, but never both. Last night I got lost in the world of youtube, starting out with videos about pit bulls and some how ended up on how to sculpt the perfect eye brow and how tos for the perfect messy bun.  I found a video that I really liked and I loved the result she had but thought to myself "Ugh. My hair will NEVER do that!!".  Thanks to a bit of insomnia, I found myself in front of the mirror attempting to follow her instructions.  

 This was the result the first time I tried it, beginners luck! Today when attempting to pull of the same thing, it took me several tries but ultimately I'm still happy with it!! Considering I had such good results I wanted to share the video on my blog! So check out the video below then go try it on your hair and let me know how it works for you! 

Some important points to remember:

• This will work best on dirty hair
• It also works better if you don't brush your hair.  If you have to brush your hair, do so but then run your fingers through it several times to get that un-brushed look.
• It is really important to follow her instructions when she says to not wrap the hair tie around the base.  If you do, when you start to pull at the bun it totally comes apart.
