Messy bun.

A messy bun is my go-to lazy hair. Having thick curly hair, having it down often leaves me feeling like a lion (I am hoping to get it cut soon so hopefully that will solve my problem. I can't wait!) . I also hate having my hair in my face most of the time so I end up just throwing it back into a messy bun. Now the typical 'messy bun' is usually pretty high and looks cute and messy. However, this does not work for me I have quite a lot of thick hair. This means that in an attempt to create this cute bun the whole messy aspect just doesn't work and the actual bun is big and heavy meaning that gravity takes over pulling it down. In result, it pulls on my head and creates this whole 'flat on top and big on the back' kind of vibe. Definitely not cute.

So, I have discovered the perfect way to create my own messy bun that looks pretty cute and doesn't pull at all. It is a very basic low messy bun that is great for when you just need tog et your hair out of your face. In order to create this, you take a hair band on your wrist and just pull your hair into a low ponytail. However, when pulling the hair through, don't pull it through the entire way. Then, twist the band and repeat the last process until the band is right. Super easy, super cute and it literally takes 10 seconds. 

Here are a few pics of the end product...

I hope you enjoyed reading about my messy bun and maybe you fancy giving this a go too. To make this a little less messy you can pin the bun into shape or you can just leave it as is, the choice is yours.

Have a lovely weekend and I will speak to you soon.

2 fast and easy prom inspired hairstyles!

Now this year I have no prom of sorts, however, I am aware that many people do. Therefore I decided to share two super quick and easy hairstyle that I have been loving and think would be perfect for prom!

For this first hairstyle, you will need to start with your hair down in  a middle parting. Next, you need to split your hair into three equal parts. I suggest using a hair band to keep the sections separate. Then you select a small amount of hair from one of the front sections, near the roots and split it into two. You then simply twist the two pieces of hair around each other, adding in a little more hair as you go, until your entire section is a French twisted braid. You then repeat this on the other front section until you have two French twisted braids and one section left. The final step is to the take all three sections and complete a normal braid and voila! To finish of this hairstyle, you can then pull at the braid a little to add texture and pull a piece of hair down to frame your face, whatever suits you.

I think this hairstyle is super cute, easy and only took about 5/10 minutes. This hairstyle can be dressed up for prom or dressed down for an everyday casual hairstyle.

Sorry about the shocking phone photo quality.

For the second hairstyle, you firstly need to complete the stages above for the first hairstyle. However, you then twist the braid into a bun and pin into place. Again, this hairstyle is super easy to do and is the perfect updo for prom!

So there we have my two prom inspired hairstyles.

I am 100% not a professional, nor do I claim to be. I did, however, enjoy experimenting with these hairstyles and am happy with the result. Also, I apologise for my bad explanation on this styles and hope you still understood my rambling.

If you are going to prom then I hope you have a lovely time, stay safe and I am sure you will look amazing!
