The Charles Anastase spring line features [messy yet romantic buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bun-bun-chair) for his runway. There is something so romantic about hair that is heavily textured and messy, like the hairstyles the Charles Anastase models rocked for his spring show. The hair was back-combed to create a birds nest-like texture, then bundled to the side of the head.

[Hair stylist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chris-mcmillan) Lyndell Mansfield scrunched and pinned loose chignons in an indiscriminate manner that completed the [sweetheart look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom) for Charles Anastase’s runway show. To achieve this look, you can almost just wake up and go (but don’t forget to pin it up in a cute, messy bun).
