[@aspasiafilippou7273]

Thank you

[@btyrtstyles7647]

Don't know why but i keep failing at these buns!! maybe its my layers or thickness but it does not want to stay or look as good as yours!!

[@mothermakeup7481]

Try using a scunchie instead of regular pony tail. It seems to hold my thicker hair better. Also, bobbi pins were designed to go with the wavy size down. This will help secure the hair much better. Hope these help! :)

[@Twistmepretty]

If you have super thick hair, it'll be harder. The more hair the heavier the bun and sometimes it'll droop or the pins won't hold it up. Maybe search for a tutorial with someone who has super thick hair and they might have some tricks!

[@btyrtstyles7647]

Internally freaking out that you responded! Love your tutorials and Thank you!

[@prithvimandloi6722]

I don’t have a whole lot of patience with hair and I’m also not very good with hair but your hair tutorials are so easy to watch and learn and I love how you slow it down even more so we can see every detail of what your doing. Thank you much!!

I’ve probably watched about 500 “messy bun” tutorial videos and this one is hands down the BEST one I’ve seen! All of your messy buns have been unique, easy to do and turned out super cute when I tried them myself! THANK YOU!

[@hoshjosh6921]

I already watched so many hair bun tutorials but no one works for my thin hair. I watched this one and the 4th work so well!! I love it. Thank you.

[@anikakalasch9971]

[@rangothegreat6171]

HOW DO YOU UNTIE THE FIRST ONE!?!? My hair would literally have ten hundred knots... is it just me?

[@AllsortPassport]

That one is the only one I know how to do and I wear it everyday, but it looks different EVERY SINGLE TIME and there’s only like twice a month where I get it to stay poofy and the rest of the time it just looks awful 😩

[@tirzahkohl3147]

Bruh me too!!

[@mrsbnunez]

I wear my hair in messy bun #1 everyday. My hair tangles easily, so I just make sure to use hair ties that are gentle (like the SCÜNCI Hosiery Ponytailers). Also, it helps if your hair is either dirty or wet.

[@imwhat5650]

i hate when that happens i cry for some reason and my mom takes it out laughing at me and i feel dumb

[@acyrul1]

@@mrsbnunez Be careful what kind of ponytailer you use when you put your hair up wet! If you use a regular rubber band, you can definitely get breakage! It depends on how fine your hair is using bobby pins or any kind of hair clips. When you put things in your hair wet, especially if you are pulling it up tight, you can get breakage!

[@amys6422]

I wish my hair would look this good in these styles! My hair is super long, close to my bum long. I’ve mastered the high pony, then wrap all of my hair around and around and then slap a hair tie on top 😂

[@elcid812]

Amy Snyder same!!!

[@jenniemorgan8649]

Amy Snyder I’m in the same boat!! I’m anxious to try these and see if they work for my looooong hair!

[@emilyjanesparks]

Amy Snyder same

[@louised6790]

Amy Snyder mine is to the small of my back. My problem is that it’s so stinkin heavy. I sometimes feel like I have a weight on top of my head. Of course I deal with it for the love of messy buns.

[@amys6422]

Karen Daniels oh my gosh! Totally understand the heavy hair!!

[@chelseymakes]

I have pretty long thin hair, so I have a lot of length to work with but not a lot of it. so my favourite way to do a messy bun is to start like I'm putting it in a pony, but on the last loop leave a small bubble. So after I have my small bun with a long tail, I can either braid the tail into a three strand braid or even a fishtail or rope braid. Then I'll have a small bun with a braid hanging off, and I just wrap the braid around the base of the bun and pin into place. Idk if that made any sense, but hopefully you understand what I mean haha.

[@Twistmepretty]

That made PERFECT sense!!! That's such a great idea, I'm gonna try it! Thanks for the comment, girl!

[@chelseymakes]

Abby Smith yay!! Tag me if you do it! @chelseymakes on Instagram ;)

[@bees2819]

I do the exact same thing! But sometimes I just wrap it don’t braid it at all :)

[@tam_3144]

cry I have thick ass hair the elastic will break doing these styles

[@hailepeebles3430]

Same

[@niar.relykS]

Tam _3 I have hair sooo thin it won’t even work for these 😂

[@sweetiep3663]

Same here , and man that hurts when you get snapped by that band .

[@avamccready2359]

Try a scrunchie! I have SUPER thick and long hair. My hair tie would break no matter what! But scrunchies don't break or snap and they hold my hair:-]

[@blueixia6602]

same here girl

[@mothermakeup7481]

Here's a tip. Bobbi pins are designed to go the textured/wavy size down NOT the flat size. It will help secure the hair better. :) Thanks for a great video! Much love! xoxo

[@Twistmepretty]

Yes! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@cupcakesz88]

Im pretty sure it doesn't matter..I've been using Bobbi pins my entire life (I did competitive gymnastics for 10 yrs)and never did I have problem no matter which way I placed the pin. Im really curious as to what would make it different I'm not trying to be rude

[@AHeatedMess]

Marion Caffroy Wavy side down grips the taut hair more securely

[@hairbygiang]

That is a really good point. thank you

[@kiut_kathya1252]

I have watched a ton of videos on the messy bun. Have had zero success. Love your variations!!!!! I think the pony with twists is my favorite!

[@keelycamacho7381]

This was actually so helpful. All these other people do so much stuff to their hair first but this was so simple. Thank you so much!

Your tutorial is far better than the other 10 I've watched. Easier and it looks more natural. Saving this vid.

[@mirandadewar5059]

I will be trying #5 out it's super pretty and a bit different!

[@lilliereyyy5980]

I've been stressing out for the past couple hours trying to do a messy bun. #3 worked so perfectly I'm so happy with the result!!

[@maddicouch8039]

#2 was my favorite but I have super thick hair! So I put it in a ponytail and twisted it then did your methoed and it looks awesome!

[@chelseadonnelly6817]

I've fallen in love with bun #2!! My hair is a little longer than yours so I have to keep twisting which makes sort of a heart shape in the back 🥰 thank you!!

[@thatbitch4024]

My hair is frizzy, thick, layerd, down to my shoulders AND ITS THE WORST HAIR ANYONE COULD ASK FOR SO I CSNT DO ANY HAIRSTYLES 😰😰😰😰

[@mrstrice420]

I got my hair cut short a few months ago and the only way I can get a cute bun is to pony tail it first, twist it up into a bun, and bobby pin the pieces in. I loved all of these messy buns!!!

[@patriciafennell4242]

Just learning how to do the messy bun and I love all 5 that you showed. Thank you!

[@trishagarud3555]

#4 is my go-to!

[@treefiddy5000]

Finally! I can do the messy bun & have it look cute. I've tried so many times and so many videos but just could never get it down. I believe it was #3 that I've been trying to accomplish (the pony, split & twist, then twist together and wrap into the bun). I did it!!! Ugh. Thank you sooooooo much 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@JohnSm926]

You make it look so easy!:). I need lots of practice

[@simmingivy4515]

Thank you so much for showing 5 different ways to do a messy bun!!! I have thick natural curly long hair, so this gives me several ways to do the messy bun look.

[@shianne3436]

I always do number 1 and number 5 they're so cute

[@kadesdinosxx]

Shianne Ritter howww they always fail for meeee

[@FrankieBelmainorganicrime]

You're so good at messy buns girl. You make it look so easy and you turn your head perfectly so that we can see all angles! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯

[@hannahw-d8268]

Which ones are good for sports or running around a lot? When I try to do a messy bun, they always fall out because I am always moving around. Any tips ppl? Cool video btw ❤️

[@piratejenny23]

A sock bun like ballerinas wear. Or braid* your hair first, then bobby pin it every inch or so as you make a flat spiral (don't layer the coils). The segments of the braid should help keep the pins in place. Also, pins go wavy side down (I didn't know this for 46 years!), and make Xs with 2 pins. *You can do a French braid or two...this will give the bun a more textured suface to hold on to. IMO, sometimes it works better to do a bun from a braid without a ponytail--either from the French braid, or gather it where you want it and braid it. Tie it with a piece of string or yarn that can be removed later, if you need the guidance. When you make a ponytail first, you create a heavy, concentrated center that wants to liberate itself from your head when you're jumping and spinning. Doing it "my" way will distribute the weight more evenly. You can make 2 or 3 braids if desired--they can still be one bun, just flatten and spiral next to each other, don't twist & pile. Good luck!

[@makeupwithmargie7083]

You are a wizard! Seriously. You have magical messy bun powers.

[@audrajengle]

I literally didn’t know others did #4 😂 I thought it was me being lazy

[@matthewripplinger6196]

#3 & #5 are SO cute and look pretty easy--can't wait to try them.

[@merry9896]

Number 4 it's my daily bun

[@carriereid9289]

[@livbower5100]

Mêŕ Ïĕm my hair is too long and thick to do it :(

[@anitacaby]

[@briellewhite5195]

i’m absolutely in love with the one where you twist the two pieces

[@cjordan8803]

Every time is see a video “This one will be easy!” I press it Abby: looks gorgeous Me: looks like a dying cow

[@jessicadawn7167]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I wear my hair up all the time because I can't stand for it to be onto my neck or face. Thanks for this Abby!

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Cute! How Do you wear your hair in a high pony/bun without it giving you a headache?

[@lenabellflowers]

B Fischer My advice is just to try to wear buns and high ponytails frequently, and eventually your scalp will get used to it. At least that's how it worked for me! Hope I helped! ☺️

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Ashlynn Higginson ooh thank you!

[@meganlane9966]

B Fischer and don’t do them so tight if it’s really bothering you

[@PrincessZelda2009]

I do two elastics for high ponies. I pretty much part my hair like I'm doing a half-do, make one pony of just the lower hair on the crown of my head, then the second over the whole thing after I've combed back the front. The pony at the crown is less painful to tighten and creates a strong base so there's not too much pressure on the front strands.

[@emilyjanesparks]

B Fischer my hair is bum length and all hair styles expect plaits hurt my head

[@lillianmerritt209]

I said "this aint gonna work but im bored" so i got up and did number 3 without bobby pins or anything and although the process looks weird, it worked!!! Im so impressed. Im gonna try to this tomorrow morning so i hope it works again!!! Usually it doesnt 😩

[@samiyahbegum4914]

This vid rly helped me coz I have rly long hair 👩‍🎤

[@mychellelight-martinez7352]

#1 and 5 are my favorites! I love your channel because your tutorials are super easy to follow and you don’t only do long hair options! Thanks for putting out great videos 😄

[@sunnybaudelaire9384]

I just love your bubbly personality! And these tutorials are just what I needed 😄

I literally wear my hair in a #5 messy bun variation, (top of head/no pins), every waking and sleeping hour.

[@susanwebster7584]

That was great - I really had no idea there were so many ways to do a messy bun! You've inspired me to give them a go.

[@sleepylicious7534]

3:57- Don’t mind me! Im just doing this so I can use the tutorial again cuz I have the memory span of a goldfish 😁

[@kadesdinosxx]

Why is this just me😂

[@hydrohomie6109]

Abby I can‘t thank you enough! Ive always had such a struggle whenever I tried to so a messy bun, It just never looked right and at the end I had so many pins in my hair! Now It finally worked, and I only have three pins in my hair! My favourite is actually the third method.

[@kadesdinosxx]

Hydro Homie sameee wearing it now

[@anythingeditsxd1474]

i dont even bother to make mine that neat, i just tie my hair up so its out of my face

[@ellagold292]

#3 is the first messy bun that actually worked for my long hair! Thank you Abby!

[@lizzponce]

That doesn't work when your hair is almost to your knees😣

[@Twistmepretty]

No, dangit!!! If my hair were to my knees I'd wear it down every day of my life haha!!

[@bethneumann87]

#1 has been my go-to for years, I love it! I also love this video because the rest of the buns are actually really different than most videos I've seen which is awesome! Plus, I've tried similar ones without great results and your tips and tweaks made me like 🤔💡 😃! Thanks so much for this!!

[@svenflier6311]

Why do you need five ways to make a messy bun? 😂

[@Twistmepretty]

haha listen to the intro or read it in the description, I explain it there!!

[@1558607]

Lol They're all so different though!!!!

[@Kayla-pj4bc]

Because they all look different lol

[@zoenewbold4904]

And there are different types of hair

[@Pris.Cilla__]

okay so this is the third video I watched and the first method worked for me. thank you very mush for making this simple and slowing down the clips and explaining step by step. I have struggled all my life with being girly. I am a tomboy. I still am the same person but am a lot more feminine in my late 20s and was wanting to have more feminine looks and this has really helped me more than you can understand.

[@morgannewell6026]

I normally really struggle with messy buns as i have nearly bum length frizzy hair, i have tried so many methods and watched multiple tutorials but none of them have worked. However, the third method really worked for me, and it didn't take that long to do, once i figured out which way to twist my hair!! I have never watched one of your videos before, but now I am hooked!!!!!

[@jenniferblake9535]

I randomly stumbled on this video and tried the first technique since it’s so similar to way I typically do my messy buns...and OMG. I usually have to put up and take down my messy buns a few times before it looks the way I want but I got the look I wanted on the first try. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@janineburge857]

This video was fun and fancy for me! I didn't know there were so many options for buns...again my favorites so far are MB#1 more casual outings and MB #4 looked more business-friendly. I am most excited to try MB #5 very soon. Thank you for sharing hair knowledge.

[@MissCeceLynn05]

Thank you so much!! My hair is very long and SUPER THIN, and #3 works great!

[@LeahTapley]

I think my fave was #5! It was super cute! They're all cute buns, but that one I wasn't expecting to be so carefree adorable but it is!

[@katiem5985]

I love messy buns! Number 1 is my all time go to! Can’t wait to try number 3 and 4!

[@nemuim]

Kept getting distracted by her beautiful, bright blue eyes😍 thank you for the tutorial !

[@saravieira21653]

OMG I love messy bun number two, because my hair is short and thin and I honestly didn’t think that I would be able to do a messy bun but you have proved me wrong thank you so much!!!

[@lauraguzman3230]

Thank you for your detailed video! You’re beautiful and the hairstyles are so cute and fun can’t wait to try number 5!

[@jenniemorgan8649]

OOOOOOH MY GOSH! This is going to be a game changer for me...I hope!! I have such long, thick hair, that I have struggled to figure the messy bun out! I cannot wait to try these!!

I just love Abby and her enthusiasm. 5 messy buns..😍 loooove!!

[@nadja41]

The one at 3:00 actually worked for me, I never manage to secure them, thank you so much!

[@toricoppard3639]

Honestly thank you so much for this. I'm a hairdresser but I do not specialise in hairups. Whenever I do one it always looks very neat and bridal and not everyone wants that. I am doing an actual bride tomorrow. She wants a loose and messy soft looking bun. She's super chill about it but didn't want a trial and I'm nervous. But now I feel confident that I've got a few good messy bun techniques up my sleeve!!

[@mackenzieartz338]

I love them all! I do #4 pretty much every night to sleep. 🤗
