This birds nest bun can be made as messy and as big as you want and you can dress it up by adding an elegant hairband or a braided extension hair band which you can find at any Peninsula Beauty Supply store. To create this birds nest bun follow these simple steps where all you will need is a little mousse, a pony tail holder, a fine tooth comb, bobby pins & some hairspray. Below you can watch a step by step How To Video

  

1. Pull the hair up into a very high ponytail on the top of the head.
2. Divide the ponytail into several sections then tease each section with a comb, creating lots of volume and texture.
3. Brush the ponytail out just a little bit to even out the texture, then wrap the hair around the ponytail to create a messy bun.
4. Secure with bobby pins all the way around.
5. spray the hair with Hair spray and Voila you have your very own birds nest bun.
6. Finally you may add a head band if you like or a braid hair band if you like or anything else that may dress up this look for a formal evening. ex: Prom or Wedding
