Messy updo for short hair
Short or medium-length hair poses particular problems when it comes to styling it in a bun.
Most often, the main problem is due to the too-short strands at the nape of the neck, which are not included in the bun. But, they hang awkwardly at the back or worse, fall out of the bun if it is not well pinned.
💡 Pro Tip: Messy bun effect
For a relaxed bun, deliberately leave a few strands out. This gives a natural and modern look, perfect for hiding the hair that is too short to stay in the bun.
Whatever the case, whether your hair is straight or wavy, short or medium, you can easily style it into a messy updo bun to go out with your friends on hot summer days.
