Mussed Up And Messy: The Coolest It Girl Hairstyles Right Now

Up the ante with these sexier-than-ever bombshell hairdos that make bed-hair look plain boring. Leading hairstylist Elyston Hayden spills all on each of the styles.

Rose Byrne

This gorgeous gal takes an ordinary crop to extraordinary levels of prettiness.

“Pump lots of volume into wet hair first with a thickening spritz in the roots,” says Hayden. “Follow with a rough blowdry with fingers, use a straightening iron to create soft waves around the face, then muss up the style with fingers again along with a spritz of sea salt spray to finish.”

This fine mist creates texture even for limp or heavy hair. Try Moroccanoil Root Boost, $44.50

You’ll notice shinier and stronger hair after using this hot tool – yes you read right. Try ghd Platinum White Styler, $315

Creates beachy waves in a flash, just spray into mid-lengths to ends and scrunch. Try Tresemme Perfectly (Un)done Sea Salt Spray, $8.99

 

Ruby Rose

Trust Ruby Rose to pull off this daring buzz short style – she just exudes confidence and coolness.

“This style is perfect for someone who has thick hair,” says Hayden. “Start by blasting wet hair forward with a hairdryer, then with the pads of your fingers, roughly comb through your locks with a creamy styling product.”

A must-have for anyone with a hot hair tool in tow – it immediately softens, adds shine and protects hair from heat damage. Try V05 Nourish My Shine Heat Protection Spray, $7.99

You’ll never get a tired arm with this new lightweight tool. Try Absolute Heat 2550 IPS Ultra Featherweight Hair Dryer, $69.95

This medium hold paste cream is perfect for this style. Try Evo Crop Strutters, $32.95

 

Jennifer Lopez

Jenny from the block recently made headlines as she chopped her caramel locks off, but boy can she rock it.

“To achieve the look, scrunch a styling paste into wet hair to enhance your natural curl,” says Hayden. “Blowdry, then finish with dry shampoo in roots and a teensy tiny amount of paste to accentuate the waves. The result is effortless and super-chic.”

A lightweight cream with heat-protecting properties – it’s a win-win situation. Try O&M Style Guru, $26.95

I’m not sure what I love more – the incredible packaging or the invisible mist formula. Try R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo, $44

For a tousled style you can’t go past this semi-matte goo. Try Hanz de Fuko Sponge Wax, $29.95
