    Over the festive season when everything gets a little bit hectic, we're here for low-maintenance hairstyles. And Megan Fox's take on the undone bun—appropriately called the 'hungover updo' is the perfect next-day look after a night out. We know who we'll be channelling come New Year's Day.

    The 'hungover updo' was shared on stylist Dimitris Giannetos's Instagram page, showing the actor's flame-red hair scooped up into a messy bun with a centre-parting and face-framing strands arranged in a relaxed style on each side. 

    While it's a more casual look than what we often see on Megan, it's still a super glam look. The bonus is that this style will work perfectly with hair that's had a blowout (our guide to how to blow dry your hair at home might be useful here) or styled into waves the night before. 

    A post shared by Dimitris Giannetos (@dimitrishair)

    Megan wore the look on Christmas Eve to attend a star-studded bash thrown by the Kardashians in Los Angeles. Proving this is a hairstyle that can be dressed up or down, Megan wore an incredible corset-style gown designed by Mirror Palais and her usual super-glam make-up. 

    Megan's undergone quite the hair transformation over the past few years, ditching her trademark long dark hair for shades of blonde, pink and red. Her latest colour is a deep velvet red.
