Day 2: Medium Hair
Take advantage of the texture brought on by dirtier, second-day hair with an easy bun that’s a favorite of celebs, like Eva Mendes. The sex appeal of this devil-may-care look is in the messy texture, so resist the urge to pick up a comb or detangling brush. A little bit of ‘tangle’ will actually enhance this ‘do! To start, finger comb your hair into a high ponytail. Using only your hands as styling tools will create some bumps, but relax–that’s part of what makes this look work. Rather than securing the ponytail with a hair tie, keep one hand on the base of your hair and use the other to twist the ends into a ballerina bun. Not tying the ponytail prevents your hair from getting too flat around your hairline. Stick open hairpins (they grab more strands than bobby pins”> into the bun’s base as you wrap each coil into place.
Tip: If you have thick hair or are using a bun filler to add more volume to your updo, secure the ponytail into place with a hair tie before making the bun. If you want to add more texture along your hairline, when you’re done, finger comb the front pieces.
Works best for: Wavy or Curly Type 2-3
