There’s always that one unsung hero when it comes to achieving a look—we find it in the flick of a cat liner, the pop of colour on the lips, and especially in the messiness of a bun. The messy topknot/bun is almost everybody’s go-to hairstyle on a lazy day. It can never let you down, especially at times when you want your hair up! And when you’re not styling your waves or blow-drying your hair, the messy bun can be the simplest and most effortless look you can create.

That being said, the undone, out-of-bed messy bun shouldn’t be all that messy. There’s a certain art and finesse to create the ‘careless, cool-girl’ topknot. So we’ve rounded up some really cool bunspiration that will take hardly any time but look uber Instagrammable and more.
