When it comes to hairstyles that strike the perfect balance between casual and stylish, the High Messy Bun with Face-Framing Layers takes the crown. This hairstyle is loved for its versatility — whether you’re heading to the office, a brunch date, or an evening event, it offers that “I woke up like this” vibe while still looking put-together.

Why Choose a High Messy Bun with Layers?

Unlike a traditional bun, the high messy bun feels more relaxed and modern. The addition of face-framing layers softens your look, highlights your features, and adds a touch of femininity. These layers give movement and dimension, preventing the hairstyle from looking too severe.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Workday polish: Keep it high and structured, with a touch of texture spray for volume.

Casual chic: Let a few strands fall naturally to enhance the “messy” yet stylish effect.

Evening glam: Pair with bold makeup and statement earrings for an elevated look.

Styling Tips

Start with texture. Use dry shampoo or a texturizing spray for grip.

Gather high. Secure your hair into a ponytail at the crown.

Twist and pin. Loosely wrap your hair and secure with bobby pins.

Frame your face. Gently pull out a few layered strands to highlight your cheekbones and jawline.

Finish it off. A light mist of hairspray ensures it lasts all day.

Who Does It Suit Best?

This style works wonderfully on medium to long hair and complements almost every face shape. It’s especially flattering if you want to highlight your natural features while keeping things fun and modern.
