Messy Bun Hairstyle Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The design shows a womans face from above, like shes looking down at her phone or a book, and all ya see is the top of her head, a pair of serious arched brows, and those long dramatic lashes pointing down. The hair is the real focus though. Its a kinda loose, voluminous bun sitting up on top with loads of flyaway strands falling out on both sides. Not a neat ballet bun, more like it started neat 3 hours ago and the day happened to it.

Wilcom digitised the whole thing in one black thread, zero colour changes, which honestly is what makes it work. The hair movement comes entirely from the directional satin columns, each strand runs at a slightly different angle so the finished piece looks like real flowing hair under good light. The brows dont mess around either, short dense satin runs, and the lash tips are fine tapered points. Four sizes, 5.51 inches up to 8.51 inches wide, 24k stitches at the smallest up to 36k at the biggest, and ya dont touch the thread spool once.

I made this one with salon branding in mind, specifically a customer who runs a lash and brow studio and wanted something that looked editorial on her uniforms. She pinged me last autumn after stitching the 7.51-inch on black linen aprons for her entire team and said it looked exactly like something out of a beauty magazine. That kind of feedback honestly makes my day. Ping me if youre not sure which size to grab for a specific project.

Works beautifully on white, cream, navy, or any solid-colour fabric because a single dark thread reads against anything with decent contrast. Try it on a linen tote, a cotton apron, or a denim jacket back panel. Skip textured weaves like burlap or waffle fabric, the fine lash tips need a smooth stable surface to hold their shape. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton and a cutaway on any knit or stretch base. Ping me if the file doesnt load cleanly and ill look into it.
