Curl the bottom half of your hair. 3. Loosely gather hair to the top of the head and tie off in a relaxed ponytail. 4. Hold ponytail up vertically by the ends of your hair, and tease it with a brush. 5. Wrap hair around the base of the ponytail and pin it down, placing pieces of hair strategically to get that ‘messy’ look. 6. Apply more mousse to the bun, scrunching it slightly with your palms, and pull a couple of face-framing wispy pieces of hair out from around your ears.
