First, take a hair elastic and pull all of your hair through it as if you were putting your hair up into a ponytail. Next, twist the elastic around and pull your hair through it all the way. Finally, twist your hair elastic again and pull your hair through partway. Your messy bun is complete.

Then flip your head upside down and use your hand to push the messy bun upside down too.

Question

What if the shower cap falls off in the shower?

Community Answer

Before you shower, put on your shower cap in such a way that it does not feel loose, covering your ears and all of your hair. If your shower cap falls off while you are showering, put it back on, making sure to position it securely.

-You can use a bobby pin to keep the shower cap on, but be careful not to poke a hole through it.
