5 Ways to Elevate a Messy Bun

Bold Accessory

Headbands are an easy way to elevate any messy bun — choose any style, color or pattern to make an effortless hairdo look extra chic. 

Full-Bodied Top Knot

Adding extra volume to your messy bun can take it from drab to fab. While your hair is damp, apply the Garnier Fructis Sky-Hi Volume Mousse and blow dry before securing your hair in a bun. Allow a few pieces of hair to fall around your face for an effortless, tousled look.

Faux Headband

Instead of adding an accessory, let your hair be the accessory. Leave a long section of hair at the nape of your neck out of the bun and wrap it around your head (like a headband) before securing with bobby pins like @chris.styles.mai.hair did here. For added dimension, loosely curl face-framing sections and let them hang down.
