Our last braid and bun combo that takes the messy bun to another level features a French braid. Direct your French braid to go diagonally across the back of your head. From there, you can knot the remaining hair into a side bun. The extra step of the French braid will set your messy bun apart by itself, and the angled nature of the side bun will make your look even more unique.
When it comes to upgrading your messy bun, you can do as little or as much as you want. If you already have braids, buns are an excellent way to tie them back. And if you want to braid your hair into a bun or add some twist to your knot, it won't take much effort at all.
