Brides Often Ask

Can I do a messy bun for a wedding?

Yes, you can. If you don’t know what hairstyles to choose for a wedding, a messy bun is your best bet. It is suitable for all kinds of weddings, depending on how you accessorize. Medium and long hair lengths would work perfectly for this hairstyle. And if your hair is short, extensions are subtle alternatives. The plus side is that these hairstyles are trendy, have a live-in look, and are very popular among modern brides.

How do you make a bun at home for a wedding?

Brush to untangle your hair and leave out two sections from either side of the head. Tie the middle part in a low ponytail and then the side hairs. Pull the ponytail through the loop to vest a twisted pattern. Braid the side ties and tuck them around the ponytail. Now split the ponytail into small sections and pin them in a twisted fashion. Accessorize your messy look and finish up with a spritz of hairspray.

How long should be my hair for the wedding bun hairstyle?

The minimum hair length for a successful messy bun is six inches. The longer your hair, the bigger or thicker your messy bun would get. So, with hair length less than six inches, you wouldn’t be able to hold all your hair. You’d have to use an excessive amount of pins, causing the hair to look unattractive.
