How to Achieve the Simone Biles Messy Bun with Crochet Hair Extensions

Achieving that carefree Simone bun takes just a few easy steps with the right tools and hair prep.

Step 1: Cleanse and Prep Your Natural Hair

Before installing human hair crochet extensions:

• Wash and deep-condition your hair to ensure a clean base.

• Detangle and stretch your hair (via blow-drying or braiding).

• Cornrow your hair flat to the scalp. This will serve as the anchor for the crochet installation.

Step 2: Install Coilycue’s Human Hair Crochet Extensions

Use a crochet needle to attach the hair extensions securely:

• Slide the hook under a cornrow.

• Loop a section of the extension onto the hook.

• Close the latch, pull through, and create a knot to secure.
  
  

Best Choices for Volume:

• 22" Kinky Curly

• 22" 4A Brown
  
  

These provide the bounce, volume, and natural finish needed for the messy bun look.

Step 3: Create the Messy Bun

Now it’s time to bring that bun to life:

• Gather your hair into a high ponytail using a strong elastic.

• Twist the ponytail loosely and wrap it around to form a bun.

• Let some curls fall freely for that signature messy, lived-in look.

• Use bobby pins to secure and shape as needed.

Final Styling Tips for the Perfect Messy Bun

• Add Volume:
  Tease the hair at the crown or backcomb parts of the ponytail before wrapping it into a bun.
• Define Loose Curls:
  Use a curl-defining mousse or lightweight cream to shape the free strands.
• Accessories for Flair:
  Add gold cuffs, scrunchies, or bedazzled pins to make the look uniquely yours.

How to Care for Human Hair Crochet Extensions

To maintain your style and maximize the longevity of your extensions:

• 1. Clean Gently
  Use a sulfate-free shampoo and deep conditioner every 2-3 weeks. Avoid overwashing.
  
• 2. Detangle Carefully
  Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Start from the tips and work up slowly.
  
  
• 3. Moisturize Regularly
  Apply a leave-in or light oil to prevent dryness and maintain softness.
  
  
• 4. Nighttime Protection
  Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf or use a silk pillowcase to avoid friction and frizz.
  
  
• 5. Limit Heat Styling
  Use a heat protectant if you must style with heat. Minimize direct heat to extend hair life.
