Step-By-Step Guide: Radhika Merchant’s Messy Bun Look

A well-executed messy bun can be a great choice for brides or wedding guests as it exudes an effortlessly elegant vibe. Meghan Markle chose to walk down the aisle at her wedding with her hair gathered in a beautiful, messy bun. It’s versatile and easy to put together. The key lies in creating the right texture. Here’s how to do it yourself:

Hair prep is most important if you want your messy bun to last for a long time. Use a texture spray to create the right base for your look.

Create soft, textured waves in your hair using a wide-barreled curling iron. Apply a soft/medium hold hairspray on the curls to hold and create more texture.

Gently comb out the curls and spray a sea salt spray. This is optional and depends on how much texture you want your hair to hold.

Gather your hair into a low ponytail and secure with a hair tie. You can leave a few face-framing curls out of the ponytail.

Twist the ponytail into a bun and secure it with bobby pins at the base of your neck.

Go over the face-framing locks with a curling iron to reaffirm the curls. Spritz with a hairspray to complete the look.
