Back when Meghan Markle, or the Duchess of Sussex, made one of her initial public appearances with Prince Harry late last year, her laid-back, messy bun became an instant hit.
Such was its popularity that Pinterest's 2018 trend report found that the most-searched hairstyle for weddings was the "messy up do". And much as hairstylists predicted, Markle decided to go with her now signature do for her wedding day. "The messy bun is the epitome of being chic, subtle and timeless. The key is to keep it messy for that cool kid, great attitude, carefree look. For a hyper-glam look, keep it tight and sleek on the sides. It keeps its charm for hours, even as strands come loose," says Florian Hurel, celebrity hair stylist.

3. Spray the teeth of a comb with hairspray and smoothen the hair out around the bun and the pulled back hair &mdash; the sides need to look tight and sleek.

4. If you like, pull out some loose strands and set the look with some hairspray. The loose strands either at the back or front will add a soft, trying-not-too-hard touch to your look.
