You don’t even need professional shears to follow the latest trend. According to one stylist, your best bet is to just let hair go, and see what happens. Of course, that can be easier said than done for some people! After all, getting the perfect “undone” look can actually involve lots of prep time!

“People are so worried about getting every single piece of hair in the right place that it ends up looking old lady instead of young and hip,” says Kristie Pellegrino, a stylist Louie Salon in San Francisco, California. “Hair is supposed to look messy and natural, not at all perfect.”

All of the latest mussy styles – perfect for a night out, date night, or even to take you from the office to the bar – require back-combing, which involves holding a small section of hair 90 degrees off the scalp. Then using a fine-toothed comb,comb down the hair shaft beginning mid-length. Pellegrino says “Do this in a repeated motion to create a little nest that looks like one of those troll dolls.”

There’s a phrase you probably never guessed you’d hear when describing hair you’d love to have. But that’s the way syles go. If you’re not ready to, essentially tease your hair, just remember that messy tresses are in. Don’t over style, don’t over blow dry and don’t think every strand has to be in perfect place!
