In an article on TwinCities.com, Nelson Jimmo, owner of Nelson Hair Salon and Spa in West Hartford, says people are spending a lot of time these days getting their hair mussed up just right. The elegant messy look is not as easy to achieve as it appears.

Yet when it comes to the simple, basic styles, this hairdo is a lot quicker than most and costs a lot less.

One Way To Get Messy:

• Wash your hair with the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.



• Towel dry your hair.



• Apply a sizeable amount of mousse.



• Rough dry your hair with your fingers while either air drying or blow drying it.



• Then use a hairspray that locks your hair into place. Adjust hair strands according to your taste

If your hair lacks volume, don't worry. All you need to do is carefully select strands from the crown of your head and backcomb with a fine comb. Then spray into place. Pinning up strands completes your "perfectly imperfect" look.

Be sure to pin it up as you please as this can add to your new incredible hairstyle. This will now complete that oh so perfect messy look.



Go Messy... Or Not
Remember, with every new hair trend that comes along, it's important to just say "No" to styles that don't suit you. If the messy look isn’t right for you, try sexy, shiny hair or one of a thousand other styles.
