You're a very good instructor. Normally I find it hard to follow hair tutorials but your way of explaining and showing the techniques are spot on.

[@brandiep1982]

You do have a lot to say about something "simple"... but for people like me who are NOT hair-style inclined, the details help a lot. the simple things you talk about are things that I would have no clue how to fix. ive tried to do this type of messy bun a million times and it has never worked. lol but I sat at my computer and did with my hands what you were doing (no mirror) and suddenly it worked! thanks!

[@brookefenwick2488]

Watched loads of top knot vids and couldn’t get the hang of them. Did this one twice and it freaking works! I’ve got super long, thin hair and it looks like I’ve got thick full hair. Love this tutorial, thank you

[@Raezioo]

I'm probably the only dude here, but I just wanted to say thanks for the video! I want to get a top knot myself (kinda the hipster with a beard and top knot look :p) but all male tutorials show me how to make those tiny little buns for shorter hair. I know this was probably meant for girls, but thanks anyway. It helped :)

[@TheMilodilo]

Thomas Raes you are not alone, I will maybe put out a "How to do a messy manbun" when I get a bit longer hair.

[@KBYEFOREALZZ]

You have no idea how much I've been wanting to be able to do this but since I don't know anything about hair styles, I've always failed. I never tried twisting it and when I did, it worked. Thank you!

[@rachelbees8]

This way is fantastic! You almost get the look of a messier sock bun. I shall be trying this today since its rainy and gloomy outside.

[@MakeupByAlli]

Thank you for sticking with me all this time!! I do my best to listen to everyone's suggestions and feedback - you guys are my best source of inspiration!

[@mantorstephanie]

This is the only tutorial I've seen that actually makes a messy bun possible for my super thin and long hair and I've seen tons of them!Thanks!

[@skylarlightwood5235]

My friend does this the same way but puts her hair into a high-ponytail but doesn't tie it. She then twists it around like you did and wraps it around then ties it.. but the problem with that is because i have such thick hair it weighs it down and the hair just above my neck starts falling out of the bun.... anyone else have this problem?

[@abc-pi4zz]

Skylar Lightwood for me the whole bun just falls right after and the bun only works if its the ballerina type cuz its tight af but idl it :/

[@mikewazowski8922]

YES

[@bonnie6624]

THANK YOUUU! I've watched so many messy bun tutorials and none of them worked with my type of hair ( super thin and short) this is the only tutorial that worked!! Thank you!!!!

[@carriepotts903]

I've seriously watched at least 10 videos on how to do this and yours was the most helpful! Thank you

[@celestemartinez6866]

+Carrie Potts haha me too this one really help thanx😌😌

[@TheCyanPrincess]

i tried this tonight and it worked first time! Definelty wearing this when i have a bad hair day or for games/under my swimming cap! Thank you so much, i've finally found a topknot that stays in place and doesn't flop about/down! Your awesome Alli!

[@fieryflower18]

lol i tried it out and it worked the first time!!!!!! and i am sooooo happy im not the only one with 'wings'!! i usually straghten my hair and it kind've straightens out the flyaways too, thats how i get rid of it. the hairspray tip helped a lot!!

[@dawnh86]

Finally. I've been trying to get this right for years. This is the first tutorial that worked for me. I kept thinking maybe my hair or head wasn't right for it. Took me awhile to get the part where you twisted the hair, but I think that's really the key to the bun. I struggled for awhile until I realized I needed to let go of the hair except for my thumb and forefinger to twist the hair. Thanks, great tutorial!

[@briannamurray804]

I really liked that. It's the first messy bun tutorial I have seen that has a good method that looks the similar on everyone. Thanks for sharing. It's classic and cute.

[@jennigirl69]

Thank u, thank u, thank u!!!!!! Finally!!! An absolutely perfect imperfect messy top knot!!! So simple. The best tutorial I have seen, and I have searched for MANY! My new go to look!! ***Muah****Muah****Muah!!!

[@ccape8]

I had to work 12 hours in the hospital ER yesterday - I did my hair like this and got so many compliments, and it stayed out of my face all day. THANKS! :)

[@AkaiOtinashi]

I always love these messy type looks. This is really cute.

[@sushiboats]

Finally... A bun video that worked for me!

[@gEmMa3848]

OMG, thankyou! I found this hard at first, and had to do it 9849 times, but it was totally worth it!

[@bumblebee2301]

I am 27 years old and have NEVER figured out how to do a top bun until tonight!!! You’re a lifesaver! Not a single video I’ve ever watched mentioned the crucial detail of not tying at the bottom of the bun and I think that’s why I’ve been failing. Regardless, thank you! I can truly embrace my mom look now 🤪

[@christyboo7]

I love this! Not a lot of fuss and pulling out all these tools to do it. Simplicity love!

[@cazkitty28]

how awesome. ive never been able to get it to look like yours just by using a hair tie. its so simple. thanks alli xo

[@KayeCarterTV]

Fun and easy! love it!

[@MakeupByAlli]

That's a really great idea for a tutorial I'll definitely do my best! I've been planning on doing a look with the Sleek palettes, love them!

[@liviutza08]

nice!..i used to do this kind of bun almost every time when i had longer hair. it's super comfy and practical! and you're so cute!

[@jennydavid2627]

Thanks! Finally a hair tutorial where we actually see very well the way you do your thing...Too many people capturing half of their body but not their hair properly!! I'll watch more of your videos :-)

[@andreafeliz]

Pulling opposite ways was a VEry helpful tip especially for very thick hair. And super cute intro!

[@SuperHunkiFunkimunki]

You are a LIFESAVER!! This is perfect for when I'm in a rush and my hair is a couple days dirty and it works as well (I've tried others and they dont)! also my hair is REALLY long and it still looks good so yeah...Thanks for a quick and easy tutorial! :) x

[@lauradoudy855]

i have tried numerous methods of a messy bun but finally yours actually worlds for me because i have extremely long hair..:) thank youu

[@Mari1575]

I love this video!This type of casual bun is a must all over NYC women right now..Reallly hot!

[@Kbenson236]

OMG love you!! I have super long hair too and washing every day is so bad for it so I usually do this and if its looking kinda greasy I will trough a bandana in as a head band!!! So awesome,I thought I was the only one who did this kind of bun!! I get so many compliments and I dont even try lol love it!!

[@sweetinsomniac82]

Thank you Alli!! For those of us who are not blessed with inner hair know-how, tutorials like these are so helpful!! I actually have a bun that looks pretty and not like a hot mess or a librarian! :)

[@leahchan7576]

this is actually one of the first videos for messy buns that actually helped me

[@blkazn77]

My hair is long thick and curly, but I do my topknot this way too! I don't use hair spray, though because it pretty much stays put. I use leave in conditioner before I get started to tame fly aways and make the edges of my hair look nice and tame.

[@sawhit1]

this was so helpful! i had no idea it was easy and definitely didn't think it would work on my coarse curly hair. but it did!! thanks!

[@mimicoolwhip5991]

Haha I loved the pull it up like a Troll doll, which was a perfect description haha I def want the ballerina bun look, no librarian looks wanted haha

[@JayLuhx]

you look fabulous when your hair is up OR down! it's crazy! hahaha usually I feel people look good one way or the other but you look good with both!

[@RachaelJohnson]

ah ive watched you since your first few vids and LOVED how you would always comment back when i had a question. and NOW youre one of the ONLY girls who actually listen to the comments and give us what we want (like us asking for this video). we really appreciate you delivering what we ask for so quickly! keep it up.

[@heysweetpeaxo]

This is how I make my messy buns, especially with the tugging/pulling/tucking parts. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does that :3

[@7poetsdream]

I love messy buns. I'm def going to try this version. I love this.

[@MakeupByAlli]

yess I'm glad you tried it out!!

[@freddycat4864]

I do your everyday makeup routine, now...perfect for work..going on a date with the hubby tonight, gonna smoke it up!

[@MagdalenRose]

I have super thick hair and I've never been able to do a top knot. This was really helpful. Thank yoooou~

[@SimsManiacx3]

I finally fount a bun I can do!! Thank you!! I did my hair while watching this on my first try & I adore it.

[@Misszara8118]

Lol messy buns are meant to be care free and done easily but it takse me 64 times to make an actual one

[@Anyox17]

OMG I thought I was the only one!

[@lexieisenback8912]

[@halleydarlene7835]

[@mcmelre]

[@theodore8819]

[@MakeupByAlli]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, it really means a lot :)

[@Ambar95301]

I love this look. I have such long hair and have been dying to get this messy but glamorous. i just did it along with you and then looked at how it turned out and I love it so much. Thank you for this tip. any more are requested. BTW... I LOVE LOVE your make up.

[@julieburton3294]

Thank-you for the easy to understand tutorial without making it over complicated, will do this for work tomorrow.

[@missycb34]

SO CUTE! lovin the earrings and the hair in the beginning... so chic!

[@unclelexie]

This is the best video i've watched for a messy bun.

[@GDRossab]

I have long, long thick hair and this is the first tutorial i found useful. thank you so much

[@friendsdontlie4488]

I know this video is old but thank you SO much. I've watched tons of messy bun vids and just couldn't do it with my hair. Did this and it looked perfect!!!!

[@poshingalong9332]

Aww!! That turned out sooo pretty!! Love it! Thanks sweetie:) Will try on my grandaughter

[@katharinabxbm9763]

You helped me a lot, thank you! All the pretty girls in school weare these buns and they look sooo cute!! 💕💕😍 now I can weare them too! Thank you very much :)

[@AliciaW]

I love the new intros to your videos! This hair bun is so cute!

[@emilyownsarat]

I was so close to doing this but didn't loosen it up, which is makes it cute. I need to practice this then get the confidence to do something different with my hair. I'm growing it out so I'm trying to learn new styles.

[@jasontahbo5666]

Thanks, dear!!! I worked! The very first successful bun in all my years!!! :)

[@AngelSly1111]

Okay so I just stumbled on to your channel and I was like wow he's pretty... Let's watch! I tried this hair tutorial out because I have never been able to do a basic messy bun. ( I know it's sad) I tried it and got it perfect on the first try!!!! Thank you sooooo much:)

[@kaylamarie-zh9vw]

It worked!! Finally I can have a good looking bun!

[@JakeIsFine379]

Very well done tutorial and it looks adorable on you. I would love to wear this look... BUT my hair is way too thick and heavy to wear it like this without it being uncomfortable. I think your kind of hair is perfect for this particular look. And your make-up looks so pretty w/ the earrings and that lip color!!

[@fairmaiden83]

I think it always looks better with dark hair!! Hides "flaws" better :)

[@Allenimations2]

I first thought that this was not going to work out with my own hair, but I tried it and it completely did! Soo easy and cute. Your videos are wonderful!!

[@Amberhx1]

I love you!! I have really long hair and cant ever find a cute way to put it all up and this looks so good and works! Yay for me!! Lol

[@MissPatricia2521]

I LOVE doing this messy bun..I do it all the time so thanks so much for showing us ladies how to do this awesome messy bun! Thanks girl :)

[@MakeupByAlli]

aw thanks, i think the camera makes it look better than in person lol. But I just get subtle layers so it lays nicely and some face framing layers in the front :)

[@annabrunner2701]

Your hair looks so thin and manageable. Unlike mine.

[@sanzidaamin4993]

My hair is so hard to cope with 😩

[@dumbbitch132]

Anna Brunner same she said "I habe really long hair* my hair is down to the top of my butt

[@MakeupByAlli]

[@alexandracockerham265]

OMG you saved my life thank u cute fun easy and a perfect lazy hairstyle for me

[@caitlink9374]

She saved mine too lmaoooo I'm so sad that's what life has come down to

[@bayleedavis1449]

Your hair is so pretty! It's sun kissed!

[@meadahagain]

Very neat tutorial and excellent use of supplemental tips at the end.

[@alyssablady5399]

I do that every day except the loosening but loosening I think makes it look better. Thanks!

[@shanty15]

finally, one that's easy to follow and actually works! :)

[@EmmaRose473]

I've tried to do a sloppy bun for a few years (on and off) and was never able to do it...I did a bun, but it looked like something landed on my head--ugh! Well, your video helped me make my first SUCCESSFUL MESSY BUN! THANK YOU!!

[@rosemarie627]

I love your explanations and thorough tutorial!

[@Meg104D]

This is so cute - I'll be trying it out! Really like your new style of opening for your videos.

[@Makeupbychloexoxo]

Ah! So cute, easy, and simple! Only messy bun tutorial that works for me. And only one hairtie! Awesome. You've got yourself a new subblie.

[@maddyv2849]

This is the best and easiest messy bun I have tried thx!

[@TheJoeshonna]

John Frieda's full repair on the go flyaway tamer is amazing for flyaways! It's about $5-$6 at Target or $10 at CVS best product that I have found

[@sabrinaharvey8420]

I love how you did the bun

[@Licronable]

Finally a how to for NOT curled hair :D Thanks a lot, this really works good with my hair.

[@littleangel3184]

So cute and so easy!I will try it for sure!And what an amazing hair color you have!

[@birbo9489]

[@alyssab1937]

[@stephanied5036]

Cutest bun ever. Omg.

[@Losoje]

Thanks for sharing your videos. You are definately one of my very top '''gurus''. Even though you have a lot of subscribers, I really don't understand, why there isn't more. Love the fact, that you tell me things and show things that I do not see ells where. Xo from Denmark

[@tiennadeschenes1060]

Her eye makeup is so pretty

[@radinpurplespecs]

thank u! ive always been about half way there because I used the same technique but would end up with a pathetic little mini bun which I always cursed my thin hair for. I was just missing the "diagonal pull" and loosen and tighten from the center technique. Thanks!

[@knuckles0813]

I love your earrings & the messy bun look!

[@SamOzkural]

love this so cute

[@sugardizzle]

It actually works with my hair type! Yay! Thanks so much!

[@CharlotteWeasley1]

Your hair looks so good when it's naturally down!

[@TheCyanPrincess]

I love your hair colour, it's so pretty! The mixture of blond is so... WOW! Wish my hair could be lighter like yours. Will try this topknot as your tutorial is the best compared to a lot of others

[@saraamimer8277]

thats a really helpful video its quick easy and pretty and cute at the same time

[@havikparris7675]

Thanks ... Ima dude with long hair and knows little about puttin my hair up this help alot.

[@NickyIvyCapeTown]

This was actually pretty on the mark. I guess there's different tricks for different hair, but this way worked perfectly for mine so thanks ^.^

[@1wendee0713]

Love the intro...I thought I was getting reay to watch a movie??!! Lol!! Love the ease of this style---thanks!!!
