Do you envy those women who have messy hair and can wear it as a chic statement? You're not alone, which is why we've compiled this advice. In this article, you'll see some examples of stylish women with messy hair and discover how to achieve that kind of natural grace.



Messy Hair Can Look Great
There are many beautiful celebrities who have totally rocked a messy hairstyle. Kristen Stewart and Lorde both rock this look on a regular basis. The secret here is to work with your hair, rather than against it, in a way that highlights its style. How can you accomplish this task?



Working With Your Hair
Creating a stylish messy style requires accentuating your hair's natural propensity for wildness. How? By letting it naturally fall the way it wants but also working with it. The basic idea here is to prepare your hair and treat it with products to make it easier to style. However, you will still emulate a messy style to increase its natural appeal. Consider how Angelina Jolie is able to rock a hairstyle that looks messy and intentionally styled at the same time.

Preparing and Styling Your Hair
There are several steps that you must take to create an awesome messy style for your hair. First of all, you need to wash it. Always use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners for the best results.

Scrub your hair carefully when shampooing, paying particular attention to the ends. Once you have added a full complement of suds to your hair, rinse it out with cold water. Cooler water will add a bit of texture and sheen to your hair. It also helps you to avoid the kind of heat damage that can cause frizz.

Next, dry your hair with a static-free towel by pressing your strands between the folds of the cloth. In this way, you can dry it properly without causing any damage to your hair. Now it is time to add a little styling product to your hair to get the look you want.



Adding Product
We suggest the use of Kerastase Mousse Curl Ideal, $42.00, for this step. It is perfect for creating messy, wild, frizzy, and curly hair. Rub it gently into your hair from the roots outward to fully work it in and to style your hair just like Scarlett Johansson or another style icon.



Blow-drying is optional when it comes to messy looks. Much of it depends on how your hair air-dries vs blow-dries. Once your hair is dry, you can style your hair any way you like. Use a comb or a brush to pull your hair into wild shapes. The best way to do this is to create a layered look that resembles what it looks like when you get out of bed in the morning. You can also create a messy base and then wrap it into a loose bun. This and other messy hairstyles are all about what your own hair wants to do naturally, so use that as your base concept, and move on from there.
