I love your clients hair color.

[@KenraProfessional]

This is her natural hair color! But for the video, we enhanced it with a glaze service. Her formula was Kenra Color 8C Demi (1/4) + Clear (3/4) + 9Vol.

[@2ndr8swkrak6]

Jennifer Hakanson my hair color is the same as hers naturally too. People have stopped me on the street asking me what number it is. And, hairstylists beg me to hi light it. I’ve never colored it ever.

[@goodiegoodygumdrops]

2ndR8SWKR AK Don't ever color your hair. Redheads are unique

[@pragatipatel142]

❤️❤️👍

[@jinimaju4743]

No like your hair colour 😂

[@melrose8213]

I’m 26 and have had long hair my entire life. I’ve been watching these tutorials for over a decade and still have no f*cking idea how to bun

[@goodiegoodygumdrops]

Mel Rose Same. Mine is awwlll one length too. 😀 I can't have those cute face framing dangly bits. 😂 This does look so pretty though

[@myopinion4108]

I know how, my hair is long but just so baby fine. I can do this, but with my hair being silky (even with product on it) it won’t stay up that high. It keeps slipping down 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@spillthetae7030]

Exactly like my hair is like straight really straight while these people making easy messy bun videos with thin , curly hair

[@seacoast4950]

Mel rose, you can do it !!!! 👱‍♀️with practice ❤️

"Quick and easy"......😒🤥

[@veronicaave4787]

That model is so pretty

[@camnangsong68]

I'm so grateful for this easy-to-follow tutorial! You make hairstyling so accessible and fun. Thank you! 🌼

[@lw8186]

This is probably the first hair bun I've ever seen that actually looks cute! All the others are either frumpy looking or too severe. This method would make cute space buns too! 😊

[@KenraProfessional]

Yes! Love the space bun idea-- Thank you!

I do a tight high bun and sleep at night , then in the morning it ultimately became a messy bun🤣🤣

The two twist method is what I use for doing my dance buns sometimes. I don’t loosen up the pieces though

[@KenraProfessional]

☺️🙌

[@jiroshikarajitharan6406]

Oh my god! These tutorials are so helpful and easy to follow. You picked a perfect client, because if you were to pick me, then I would not sit still for a minute. I just need to MOVE.

[@ariannedechateaumichel7777]

I've done this hairstyle on myself hundreds of times. It's easy! Use your fingers instead of a brush to get your hair into the high ponytail, straightening your fingers to lift them slightly in the places where you want more volume. Twist the hair just enough that it stays together. Braid your hair the night before if you want more texture.

[@silverkitty2503]

oh thank you!

[@foopfoop8611]

I’m definitely going to be wearing this all summer

[@KenraProfessional]

Yasssss so good!

[@rosedeli2748]

The model is so gorgeous!

[@annawhistles]

I am amazed - this actually worked for my hair. I've been watching so many tutorials to find a way to do a messy bun with long hair (almost knee length) and none have worked but this actually did. I didn't do all the hair prep or anything cause it's just a casual hairstyle for me but it worked!

[@KenraProfessional]

Yay! We're so glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching Anna!

She looks incredible definitely beautiful ❤

[@ellagant1767]

You could also try getting bangs, that's what I did bc I also have a big forehead and they hide it😂

[@elizabethjensen957]

What I’ve learned/heard about larger foreheads is that wearing a high pony tail (actually pretty high) helps balance it out. It worked for me at least.

[@pheonixfeather292]

This hairstyle is QUICK and EASY and IMPRESSIVE! Thanks!

[@virglibrsaglove]

I've been wearing a messy french twist type of bun thing for many years. It's my go to up style. I didn't learn it from anywhere. I just kind of did it. Funny enough, I do it a lot like she does, pulling bits here and there. I don't use styling product, though. My hair is naturally curly do it has body on its own. Update: I just chopped all mine off. 😱 No more cute updos for me for many years. I'm still in shock. 😢
