For guys, getting the bed head look right is really easy. Instructions? Got to bed, wake up, leave the house. For us, on the other hand, things a re a little more complex. That sexy, grungy, ‘I don’t care’ look can go horribly wrong.
1. Fake It
While for boys, the bed head look is about being authentically scruffy, most girls can’t get away with unwashed, shaggy hair. For us, this rumpled style requires excellent fakery so don’t be tempted to just skip the shampoo for a week: sorry girls, it just won’t work.2. Wash Right
While your hair should be clean, you do want to use a shampoo that isn’t going to strip it of its natural moisture. Pick something gentle and nourishing and follow it up with a hydrating conditioner. While you’ll definitely need to shampoo with a clarifying wash about once a week to get rid of build up, you’ll find these more intense products give you more manageability.
3. Game Plan
From the get go, decide what kind of tousled look you’re going for. If you want loose, tangled curls, you’ll need one set of products, while longer, grunge-style natural waves will require another. If your hair is very straight, tighter curls are actually a better bet – waves are more likely to drop back into their original style4. Appliances
A good ceramic styling iron is a real investment, girls, and can be used to create a whole variety of styles. The better ones, unfortunately, don’t come cheap but nothing beats these for quick, effective style. Go for something versatile that can do both curls and give you the poker straight look.
5. Silicone Enriched Heat Protector
There are a variety of products out there that fit this description, ladies, and the more reputable ones are usually better. The silicone will help to combat the effects of humidity and will close down the hair’s cuticle to ensure maximum shine.
