A bun doesn't do much for you? Then you should try this simple trick that will instantly make your messy bun look voluminous.

Messy bun for thin hair: This bun trick for more volume is ingenious

Not all of us are blessed with long, thick hair that looks beautifully voluminous in the messy bun. But that's not a problem at all, because with a few simple steps and cheating you can immediately give any hairstyle more volume. The messy bun in particular thrives on being big and voluminous. As always with the messy bun, the hair must be of a certain length – the longer the better. If you don't have a hair donut handy (which is great for faking a big messy bun), here's a trick you can try.

This is how the voluminous messy bun works for thin hair

Comb your hair thoroughly and gather it into a ponytail that you place at the level of your head where you want your messy bun. Wrap the hair tie around the ponytail as often as you can, but don't pull your hair all the way through on the last step, but form a small loop or a small bun and let the tips hang out at the bottom. The remaining hair should be at least two inches long, as it will be wrapped around the loop in a moment.
Now pull your hair apart from a little at the roots and along the bun to create additional volume.
Finally, take the end of the ponytail that is still hanging out of the bun and wrap it around the bun in a twisting motion. Simply fix the strand in the hair tie or with the help of a hairpin.
Finally, you can pull the whole bun apart again and fix it with hairspray.
