Jessica Alba's messy bun

Jessica Alba's messy beach bun can be so totally flirty if it's done the right way. Steal her style:

1. Take a small section of hair at the top of one side of your head and braid it down to the back of your head. Pin it down temporarily and do the same with a section of hair on the other side.
2. Gather up the rest of your hair with your two braids and tie it all up into a messy bun. Don't bother pinning down any bumps or strands sticking out.
3. If your braids loosen during the day, don't worry about it -- it's perfect for the casual beach vibe you've got going.
