35 Perfectly Imperfect Messy Hairstyles for All Lengths

Untamed tousled hairstyles are always so incredibly alluring and carefree that it’s impossible to resist their overwhelming allure. Whether it’s a fun loose curl, a boyish pixie with protruding feathers, or an updo style, there’s something incredibly sexy and unrestricted about tousled hair. Any length and type of hair, whether straight or curly, thick and flexible or fine and wispy, looks great in a messy style. 

With messy hair, you can achieve so many amazing and adaptable looks with the correct technique. Allow some to be ostentatious and fashionable, while keeping others more subdued and romantic. Here are 35 hairstyles for short, medium-length, and long hair that will make you the envy of your friends.

If your hair is short, a little wax or light pomade can easily tame a cute mess. After using the product on damp hair, blow dry it, pulling different sections of the hair in different directions. For a more pronounced appearance, add a tiny bit more wax to the ends.

For longer hair, you can try a variety of messy updos and downdos, such as messy buns, knots, fishtails, half-up, half-down messy ‘dos, French twists, and more, in addition to loose, messy curls and chaotic straight tresses. Here are some adorable suggestions to adopt.

1. Short and Layered

Naturally, short, untidy hairstyles are also very attractive. The current trend of layered cuts is so popular that many of them are actually designed to look messy. Shoulder-length layered hair will look feminine on women without requiring a lot of upkeep.

2. Formal Messy Hair

There are formal styles for women that look amazing in prom or wedding day photos, even though many messy styles are meant for casual wear. The addition of flowers or a hair ornament can further formalize messy buns.

3. Youthful Updo

A side chignon with lots of loose strands is a quick and simple updo that is frequently seen on young ladies. This wrapped, pulled-back style will really highlight the gorgeous colors in your highlighted hair.

4. Messy French Twist for Ombre Hair

This glamorous favorite, updated as a messy updo, is a classic chignon that is as traditional as formal events themselves. This hairstyle is suitable for all girls with long hair, regardless of whether they want to French twist their hair or just finger comb it and fasten it with a clip.

5. Triple Knot

Maintain gorgeous hair with a seductive updo that is technically more of a lazy hairstyle. Though it may appear complex, the true beauty of this triple knotted updo lies in its lack of perfection. While some hairs continue to be misaligned, others are slightly crooked. Still, the outcome is magnificent.
