Q&A for How to Make a Messy Bun With Extremely Long Hair

The foundation for any hairstyle is a great haircut. Starting off with a great haircut, no matter the length, is always going to make the hair look its best. What will help keep that messy look intact is a light to medium hold hairspray.

You could just make a bun, and start pulling some threads, even loosen it up. Then you are done.

Once you get the hang of it, it will be perfect. Practice makes perfect.

This article is fit for any length of hair. If it keeps falling, use a thick hair band.

It depends on why you're putting your hair up. For example, if you were doing physical activity, you would probably want a net on your bun to secure it. However, if you are wearing it for leisure or for going out somewhere, it's okay to skip the net because it looks good when it's a little messy.

It probably will. If not, try flat ironing your hair before making the bun.

Put your hair in a high ponytail first. Also, a little secret: messy and high buns work very well when your hair is getting greasy. The oil helps hold up the bun. Remember to hairspray the bun.

Extremely long hair is usually past the waist or belly button, at least 1 and a half feet.

Make it a tight bun so it looks more professional. Wind your hair tightly into the coiled bun shape, and then secure it with a strong hair tie or discreet scrunchie so it stays in place.

It still works. But if you have long nails, try not to get them caught in the braids. It could ruin all the hard work.

To make a bun, you have to make a ponytail. Next you pull a bit of hair out of the bun and wrap it around the ponytail. Stick a pin through the hair.
