Tousled hair is the ideal way to show off your natural beauty, plus it’s simple maintenance! Plus, it can be styled for any event!
Short Tousled Haircut
A short tousled haircut is a versatile style for all hair textures, boasting low maintenance requirements and being bold yet feminine at once. To add even more interest to the cut, try deep side parts with long bangs that graze your eyebrows for added interest. Request that your stylist create a choppy, uneven texture with soft blonde balayage highlights for a cool-girl style that flatters various face shapes and brings out your inner rebel.
Overnight Braids
Sleeping with braids can effectively achieve natural waves without subjecting your locks to heat styling. But to maintain bouncy coils throughout the day, proper care must be taken in their upkeep, and care must be provided throughout their lifespan. Start with clean, detangled strands. Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep tresses moisturized and less likely to damage. Create a simple braid style, such as a classic pigtail or the leaner cousin of the sock method known as the roble tassel method (see here for how-to instructions), then secure it using little elastics or fabric hair ties (which reduce unsightly ridges left by standard scrunchies) before going to bed. When you wake up, brush your curls before misting a light hairspray for an all-day hold.
Blonde Tousled Hair
Create a gorgeous tousled style easily! When your hair is still wet, braid it in several sections starting just above your ears to add volume at the roots while creating a natural-looking texture – perfect for casual summer styling! This long blonde hairstyle embodies beachy and mermaid vibes perfectly. To achieve it, spritz damp locks with salt spray for loose waves or coils before using a large barrel curling iron to touch up unwanted waves or curls. Finally, add styling wax to separate ends into a piece-y effect for a piece-y product topped off by low lighting for an edgy yet casual appearance.
Highlighted Tousled Hair
Neo-grunge has made inroads into mainstream fashion recently with its trend of tousling hair through the lengths for an idyllic yet girly style. Think romantic fairytale mermaids; this look offers more innocent versions that don’t commit fully to an emo look but still keep hair feminine-looking. To create this stunning style, start by applying texturizing mousse to wet hair and allowing it to air dry before curling it with a large barrel curling iron for loose waves. Add finishing touches like styling wax on your fingers to separate and make pieces look piecey. This stylish tousled hairstyle is ideal for anyone with shoulder-length tresses. To achieve this, apply volumizing mousse to damp hair before leaving it air dry.
Curly Tousled Hair
Curly hair can be unpredictable; you never know what you’re in for daily! Your ringlets could range from perfectly defined and voluminous one day to frizzed and unruly. To maintain an appealing style, work product into your coils before scrunching dry your locks for reduced frizzing. This style works best with medium-length hair that ranges from shoulders to the ends of your locks. To achieve a fuller, undone effect, try curling larger sections at once instead of small ones for maximum tousled volume. Additionally, lightly tease and tousle your locks or apply some hair spray as extra texture enhancers for added flair!
