WOW! Why do people feel so compelled to leave such rude remarks? If you don’t like something just leave! Contrary to what you have been told everyone is NOT interested in your negative comments. Just leave quietly. Here is a lovely sweet woman helping others in a kindly manner. We appreciate her time and effort. THANK YOU, DEAR! 🌹

I don't mind the talking, she seems lovely and I think this is the absolute best messy bun tutorial I've seen. Props!

casual bun- bobby pins, dry shampoo, a degree in hair dressing, a prayer

I didn't have time to wash my hair this morning and I was in a rush. I thought I had your instructions committed to memory but I could quote it the bun to look the way I wanted to. Thank go for the ability to review your videos again and again! Total hair saver!!

Well... I've just realised I'm a super lazy girl then! I was looking for a lazy girl hair style and this is too much effort for me today haha! Damn it.

this one is easier 1- make a regular bun 2-sleep 3- here it is a messy bun 😂🙈

Literally the first messy bun tutorial I've been able to follow-and it actually looks good at the end!! Thank you☺️

How she actually does the bun is at 5:40

Your "bad hair day" would be my "dream come true hair day" :) Been following your blog/tutorials for a couple years now and they never disappoint!

I'm a stylist also but sometimes get in a rut with my own everyday styling. Watching you has brought some fun back into my life 😊

click this -- 5:40 there is when she starts :)

I have super thin and fine hair and this is the ONLY messy bun that works for me. Love your tutorials!😍

Yes!! Thank you so much! I have similar hair to yours and I’ve always envied women who can do these effortless looking buns (usually out and about when they’ve got no mirror or products and it ends up looking like runway hair :-P) but following your video for the first time I’ve got a bun I feel happy leaving the house with 😆 Thanks, you rock!!

Can I just say how PERFECT your hair looks before the tutorial even starts - dreams!!

Hands down, the best messy bun out there! I love your bun! :)

Love 💘 these hair 💇 tutorials. I've worn short hair most of my adult life because it was easy to get ready for work as an RN, plus I'm a wife & mom. Strange, but I've always been complimented for my hair & choice of styles. I'm thankful for great stylist who took the time to make sure I loved the hair cut. Now I'm retired & wearing my hair one length & longer. I appreciate your willingness to show how to wear a longer length. Longer hair means fewer hair cuts, great for my frugality. 😎

This was the first tutorial that was actually helpful in creating this messy bun look! Thank you so much! Lol literally life changing!!

actual bun tutorial starts at 5:48

her messy dirty hair is 10000000000 times better than my clean "styled" hair! :)

I’m a stylist in Pennsylvania working in a summit salon under lots of professional training with Redken!! and absolutely loved this video!! Description was on point!!! So useful!!

This is THE best messy bun tutorial I've found - and I've watched many! It's detailed, slow, doable. While my hair is a bit longer than yours, the basics get me where I need to go and outline details I hadn't noticed - thanks so much! PS apparently I need to update my profile pic. 🙃

I thought you just thew it up in a bun. I had no clue you guys had to actually work to make it look messy. 😂

I just watch these to get jealous because I can't do my hair

It's funny how many compliments we get with messy buns. 😂 they look great.

Only messy bun that works for layered hair (Or in my case, short choppy layers). Took a few tries but that comes with every hairstyle because nobody has the same hair but I got it to work. Thank you so so much!

Wow, that's amazing!!! I have tried on many occasions to do this but I failed. Thank you for going into details about this!

I've been doing this messy bun since you made the video 8 years ago and it is my staple. I use a few different products and have tweaked it for my hair over the years with various styles I've had but it is the most versatile and forgiving thing that has been my saving grace on days I feel like I can't pull myself together as a mama struggling with depression and ptsd! I hope to make a collab video referencing this video soon when my bathroom looks cute but someone just asked me last night how I always have such cute messy buns and I was like - You know what? This video needs to be shared again. Resurfacing for genuine appreciation. Round of applause for you and your amazing hair tips! ❤❤❤

Shout out to Raleigh, my hometown town!! I am there often!! I'm in Wilmington now!! xoxo

Thanks for the great explanation. Really appreciate the video and the trick with the dry shampoo and air spray before doing the bun.

I do my messy bun almost the same and everyone always says it looks nice!! Love it ❤❤

Thanks for the tutorial. I have the worst trouble styling my hair....I think I never really learned the proper techniques and products, but your videos are really helping me step up my hair game. As a side note I find your voice super soothing. lol

I try to do this with MY hair? WHOLE THING SLIDES DOWN, REPEAT UNTIL UNTIL MY ARM IS TIRED, YELL AT THE MIRROR FOR 2 SEC, GO OUT WITH OUT BUN. -.-

How do you do the "fold over" part?? That's the most important part and I still don't get it

I have tried video after video of messy bun tutorials and I've never been able to follow one so easy and it actually turn out cute!!! Love this video!

Hands down, the absolute best I've seen in forever.

I WATCHED THIS BEFORE AND IS SIMPLY FABULOUS! JUST LOVE IT! THANKS, RILEY

every messy bun tutorial i watch is like impossible for me like wtf is wrong with me i cant do it

I've been trying to do a messy bun all my life. I have naturally curly thick hair. This worked first try!!! I'm so excited!!

I didn’t know there was so much work put into a bun 😂😂 love it!

I have thick, straight blonde hair that just won't let me style it what so ever. But this, THIS is the first messy bun tutorial that ever worked!!!!! I think the reason why it worked for me is that you told us to tilt the head backwards. Most of the tutorials i watched put the hair up with out tilting the head back. I already got compliments for this haird do! Thanks for being a great teacher

I always fail in my messy buns, but never thought about putting hairspray/texture spray/dry shampoo in. My hair is naturally pretty smooth so my bun just never looks messy 😂

I finally did a messy bun that actually looks good with my face shape thanks to your tutorial!

First I want to say I love your messy bun!! Secondly for those of you who don’t want to hear all the talking about other things use your finger and fast forward until you see where she starts and watch from there and stop being so nasty. I watch a lot of videos about hair and makeup and most of the women talk (some more than others) and sometimes I don’t have time to listen to them but I’m thankful that they took the time to do the video to show me what I wanted to know. Sadly it seems the more people use these videos, social media so forth and so on the ruder we seem to be. Try to remember 2 things: 1st it’s a FREE tutorial for you (some of these people don’t make any money for sharing) and 2nd...if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything!! I’m fairly certain she has feelings too!! I’m sorry for going on and on but we need to stop being so negative about the simple things. Thanks again for your help with my hair!!

Kate as always thanks so much - you have taught me SO much about doing my hair!!

Oh it's real easy...all you need to do this messy hair bun up is... Start with : Kate's great head of hair. The End :)

I've noticed that it really helps to have highlights in your hair to give more dimension.

Excellent video! I have been trying to master an easy messy bun. I tried this technique today and ....PERFECTION! Thank you so much!!

ugh finally i was looking for tutorials for thin hair the options were so limited and i couldn’t do it but finally i found this video and first try i did it and loved it there was a long strip i forgot in the back and i found it was a low for me so i did it a second time and its perfect thank you so much 10/10 recommended

Ur hilarious.. Im like no no u start w a mess 😂😂😂

This was actually super helpful. Even 8 years later!

The whole idea of a bun is it takes less than 30 seconds

Thank you for your time on youtube! I always learn so much from you :) And as random side note you also look really good when you wear anything with stripes

Thank you.. finally I have long enough hair to do this..your a great teacher.

This is by far the easiest way to get a messy bun... Now it doesn't have to be so complicated

This is the most helpful and easy messy bun tutorial. Thanks!

Video should be called "How to Damage your hair in just 7min!" 😂😂😂

Can i just say that, for all your "oh im a mess and i havent done my hair" . . . . . . you look gorgeous and probably the nicest start to ANY day.

So glad I found your channel! I have the same soft silky hair and I just want texture and volume!

FIRST bun tutorial that actually looks good with my hair!!! ty!

You're a real natural and genuine. thanks good tutorial.

This is hands down the best messy bun I've seen!! 😍 I think you need to show someone with long hair how to do your messy bun and get them to post a tutorial because I have really long hair and none of the tutorials I've seen for long hair are anywhere near as good as yours ☹️😄

this looks wonderful! definitely going to try this out.

When I get home from work, I put up my hair and it naturally gets to be a messy bun. I have the perfect bun to go out with my man.

I think the video is great! You explained everything well in great detail. Very helpful! Tired of my everyday jaw clip bun.

Whatever she does to hair looks so gorgeous!!!!

That’s so cute...love it

I wish my hair was like that on a bad hair day! Your hair is beautiful Kate!

MAN.... everything you do looks soooooooooooooo pretty!!!! Your hair already looks amazing on you even before you finish all the steps

This is weirdly soothing to watch

How do you comb out your hair after that much product? I love adding product to give my fine hair texture and grip, but it easily turns to a matted mess even when I baby it.

Love, love, loved your bun

The problem with this method is that if you don't cut out the elastic taking it down tends to trash the ends. My hair is waist length so I treasure and protect my ends, maybe more than people who wear their hair short like you do. I find that a looped ponytail is kinder. Stretch the loop and pin it "randomly". Either wrap the ends mostly around the base before pinning or just twist and pin wherever if there is good bend in the hair.

This is exactly how I do my messy bun!!! I have curly hair so I can skip the prep for the most part. I've had people ask me, too haha

Just found your channel. Thank you so much! I needed you 👋💜

Like the explanation/step-by-step. It's stuff I wasn't doing before. TY

And there it is!! Finallyyy...

The folding and the "softening" are the key, I think. I'm going to try this method! Thanks for the video. --Kay

I love wearing messy buns.I get tons of compliments on them😊

This is the first video which learns me HOW TO DO MESSY BUN. And my messy bun is perfect 💗 Thank you so much 💕

you look so cute and I love your hair!

Thank you!!!!! U have this messy bun to perfection!!!!

I can't believe how many people are bothered enough by this talk-through style of video. There are plenty of videos that will rush through and simply show the steps, if that's what you like, go watch that. I for one LOVE Kate's personality and life, and I watch her videos because I enjoy that style. If you don't like something, that's fine. But keep the rude comments to yourself please.

AWESOME! Going to try this for class Monday!

My hair is super long now (I grow it out to donate and it's almost at my perfect "donation length") almost to my butt & I can never seem to get my messy bun to work with me at this length but it never occurred to me "to get a messy bun you need a mess". I just tried a messy bun after teasing and applying dry shampoo and it's perfect. Thanks!!

You have the best hair texture! I am so jelly!

wow! looks great!

It looks rly good

This is the most perfect step-by-step hair tutorial I have ever seen.

Highlights in the hair make a world of difference for up-do's, in my opinion

LOVE it!

Love your messy bun tip.

I love your tutorials! ❤

this is the first video of yours I have watched and you are such a sweetheart! totally subscribed!

Very cute!

I have thin hair and its sleek for the life of me could not do a messy bun. When you said nonono start with a mess..I was like 'finaally' the secret! Thank you!!

Love it!

Great tutorial! Thanks!

Best messy bun tutorial. Thank you. Wish me luck.

Thank you I have been wanting to get a messy bun without having to let it get messy throughout the day instead have it start that way!!

Love it!!
