HAIR TUTORIAL - MESSY SIDE BUN

1. Curl the hair using heated rollers. These will work and hold better than tongs or cold rollers

2. Shake out the curls to loosen them

3. Using your hands, gently tease the hair round to the side you would like your bun to be on. Then pin from the middle of the nape to the back of the ear

4. Taking small sections, pin to form a round bun-like shape of curls behind the ear. Be sure to criss-cross your pins to keep your bun secure. Spray with hairspray for extra hold
