Cancel Your Blowout: The Messy Bun Is Having a Moment

Snooze button over-users, our time has come. The messy bun, aka the impromptu updo you've rocked out of necessity when running late, studying for your college exams, or straight-up sleeping, is finally getting the appreciation it deserves. Celebrities have sported this low-key look for some of their biggest events, from the Chanel runway to the frickin' Oscars.

But seriously: we're busy women. Sometimes we don't have the time, or the desire, to style our own hair. Let's take a cue from the ladies ahead who just threw all their hair into a messy bun so they could go get sh*t done.
