Messy buns, I am a fan.
(elizabeth messina)

It's been super rainy over here in San Francisco lately and I must say, my hair has definitely seen its better days. Hot mess would be a better description. The messy bun has certainly done my hair some justice these past few days. The best part is the messier it gets, the better it looks. It can't get better than that now can it?

My next line of attack is to do a braid + messy bun combo. Huzzah!

Me toooo. I love the messy bun look. It's surprisingly hard for me to get just right lol. I usually wear mine braided like the last pic.

Messy buns are so perfect! They're ethereal and effortlessly charming. I'd love to see your braid + messy bun combo, it'll look divine :)

Perfect! Thanks so much for this post.. It's Autumn here and I'm trying to grow out my hair, which means crazy hair and lots of attempts at the messy bun. Very inspiring!

The messy bun is perfect because it gets better as it theoretically gets worse. I've been a bit under the weather these past few days so this has been my saviour.

i miss having long hair :( I seriously cannot wait to grow mine!

I love the last one! I never learned how to do a good messy bun... a bit sad especially since I just made plans to cut off my waist length hair.

I pretty much live with my hair in a messy bun. It saves so much time! Love these shots. I want to try the braided one too, but I can't for the life of me seem to be able to master french braids!

I love this look. The only problem I have is that if I wanna try it, it looks messy. Seriously messy. In a non-fashioned way.

I'm a huge fan of the messy bun.. probably because i am also very lazy :) but that braided bun combo looks amazing. might have to make half an effort and try it!

Great great inspiration!

I'm terrible at hair, so this sort of thing usually ends up not working at all. Think it looks great, though.

Do love a good messy bun!! As you say - the messier, the better - which is perfect for me as it just gets better and better throughout the day! Great post and photo selection :)
