1. Tousled Braid Bun

This hairstyle is perfect if you have mid-length hair.
Step 1: Use hairspray generously over the length of your hair and sweep it back so that there is no parting.
Step 2: Separate a section of hair from the top and begin making a french braid, taking sections from the front and sweeping them back as you go along.
Step 3: Bring the braid forward to one side and finish it while there is still at least 4 to 5 inches of hair left at the bottom. Straighten the hair left at the end.
Step 4: Gently pull the sections of the braid so it loosens. This will help with the messy look.
Step 5: Twist up the end of the braid to make a bun and secure with bobby pins. Let the ends hang loose from the bun on one side for that undone effect.
Step 6: Take strands of hair out near the forehead to complete the messy look and you’re good to go!

Step 1: Comb your hair and make a side parting.
Step 2: On the side with lesser hair, separate a thin section of hair and start braiding it where the parting begins.
Step 3: Take this thin braid and pin it back with a pin.
Step 4: Twist the rest of your hair into a bun at the back.
Step 5: In the front, the side with more hair should have loose strands to frame your face. This will complete your chic messy braid look!

Step 1: For this hairstyle, you’ll need to curl your hair from the nape of your neck while the upper part remains straight. (You can also scrunch using a texturizing product if you don’t want to use heat).
Step 2: Comb your hair back to remove the parting and take a section of your hair from just above your ear. Twist this section and pin it back.
Step 3: Repeat the twist and pin routine with another small section right below the first one.
Step 4: Gather the rest of your hair into a high ponytail. The curls will give it an awesome messy look!
