the messy bun.

A blog I love to look to for inspiration is A Beautiful Mess! I wanted to try her messy bun (from here) combined with a sock bun tutorial I saw on pinterest (here).
My hair is super thin so I wanted it to look more full by adding in the sock! My hair also naturally has the “messy look” so I am not going to lie… you could kind of see the sock between the two! So I chose a fun argyle one to make it look like a hair accessory and a combo of these two tutorials actually made me look like I had full, thick hair!

    Casey you're just so beautiful! I hope you are really soaking up the lovely time in California! I lived in SO. Cal. For awhile and really missed the stars. You know, the ones in the sky (heehee) . Nothing like the big skies of Texas to show you how BIG our God really is. (yes I've lived almost everywhere).

  26. Sarah-Anne says:

    i found this tutorial came too late because i chopped all my hair off…therefore no bun. BUT! it looks amazing on you and the cute patterned sock Casey-fied it! 😉

  27. Thanks Casey! I'm sportin' a Messy Bun today. I've had Messy Buns before, with my curly/frizzy hair, but I've never pinned it like this before, never knew. 🙂

  28. Oh, I used to play with my grandmothers hair rat. That is what used to be used where you are using the sock, to roll the hair over.
