If you think that doing a messy ponytail or bun is easy, you’re wrong. You’ll need time and patience to get the “messiness” just right. I know, how do you make “messy” look pretty anyway? Tricia Gosingtian demonstrated that in her “Everyday Makeup” video.

Tricia’s technique looks simple enough. But if you’ve always wanted that Pinterest-worthy messy hairstyle, follow these tips.

The Messy Ponytail and Bun

1. Tie your hair into a ponytail or bun. Don’t make it too tight.

2. If you have full bangs like Tricia, you can use a roller to give them volume. For this, you can try Conair’s 12Pk Medium Foam Rollers. Available on Zalora PH.

3. Lightly pull strands from the hair tie to add the tussled look. You can also loosen the ponytail or bun to make it look messier.

4. Continue the previous step until you’re satisfied with the look. If you want to keep the hairstyle in place, use Bedhead/Tigi’s Chic Shine Hairspray. This’ll also add shine to your hair. Available on Beauty MNL.
