The “high” bun or the “sloppy bun” as I’ve nicknamed it has become ever so popular in this past year. Not sure if this is because us ladies have just gotten tired of taming these manes, or maybe we just love the way it accentuates a fully beat face or an au naturale look. Either way, I wanted to be the one to give you precise instructions on how to perfect the effortless look:


This look takes less effort than one may think.. there are no rules! Just have enough hair to make the bun look full and appeasing.
1) Brush and tame ponytail to desired height and have plenty of bobby pins & flat pins around just in case you have stray pieces (which happens a lot of times with layered hair).
2) Use ponytail holder and begin to tie hair, on the last go ’round of the holder.. dont pull the hair all the way through, instead.. leave it there and pull the sides of the bun out, to both expand the circumference of the bun, as well as tighten the holder on the base of the ponytail.
3) You may have a few spare pieces towards the end, but use some pins and edge control and you have perfected the “high, sloppy, bun” !
