If you’re anything like me, you probably struggle with finding the *perfect* gym hair that doesn’t scream “I slept on my right side then rolled out of bed like this!”
You want something cute and messy, but also need it to be effortless + functional, right?! SAME.
So I called in an expert.
Jordan is an AMAZING friend who happens to be a hairstylist QUEEN and body positivity influencer; sharing her own weight loss transformation and mad style skills one Instagram photo and YouTube vlog at a time. Get ready with Jordan today as she walks us through a 5 minute tutorial on a perfect messy bun for long hair that you can rock at the gym.

Step One: Split hair in half down the middle and tie both halves into loose buns. If your hair is too soft or too clean, add some texture spray to rough it up!


Step Two: Take your left bun and put it through the loop of the right bun and pull it tight, then secure.

Step Three: Pin the loose ends into the bun (the messier, the better!)


Step Four: Add your favorite ball cap, pull out some face framing pieces and boom! There you have it! 😉
A PERFECT messy GYM bun in less than 5 minutes.
