If there are two things we love, it’s hair accessories<\/a> and messy buns. Both have saved our strands on more than one occasion, so what’s better than combining two of our favorite hair-rescue hacks in one look? Here, with hairstylist Erin Ryser’s<\/a> scarf updo tutorial, we’re showing how to do a messy bun with a little extra style<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"messy\n

The key to nailing messy bun styles is to get just the right amount of “messiness”: The idea is to look effortless, but not unkempt or disheveled. Adding a chic silky scarf<\/a> to your updo gives it a whole lot of intention, meaning your hair will look casually tossed up, but not like you rolled out of bed or straight from a workout<\/a>. The trick behind this messy bun with scarf look? It starts with a braid<\/a> that keeps everything perfectly in–and out of–place.<\/p>\n\"how\n

We love this playful, laid-back updo for everything from weekend<\/a> errands to date night<\/a>–and we’re pretty sure you will, too. Scroll on to see how to master your messy updo below!<\/p>\n

Messy Bun with Scarf Tutorial Steps:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pull the hair into a high ponytail and secure with a thick hairband.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a messy rope braid, secure with an elastic.<\/li>\n
  3. Pull on the twists until the desired \u201cmessy\u201d look is accomplished.<\/li>\n
  4. Weave the scarf first through the hairband, then through the rope braid, and finally through the elastic.<\/li>\n
  5. Use the scarf to twist the hair into a messy bun, tie the scarf.<\/li>\n
  6. Secure with bobby pins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
