Even though it is meant to be sloppy and messy, the messy bun is actually a worked-up hairstyle. Find out how to achieve this messy bun every time, thanks to Jennifer Lopez's hairstylist.

The “messy bun” is probably the hairstyle that seems the easiest and quickest to achieve, but which actually requires the most time in the bathroom to be perfect.

Need a professional tutorial for a perfect messy bun in seconds? After the spiky bun and the twist-knot bun, you will be able to make a perfect messy bun. It's Chris Appleton, the hairstylist of big stars like Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, and Kim Kardashian, who shows you in an Instagram video his unstoppable method for a messy bun in less than 5 minutes. For this, you will need a brush, a comb, 2 rubber bands, pins, hairspray, and a toothbrush.
