Okay, so I’ve been trying to nail that “I woke up like this” look, you know, the one that’s all messy but in a cool way? Yeah, that’s called bed head. And let me tell you, it’s not as easy as just rolling out of bed. I mean, you kind of do, but there’s a little more to it. I actually spent the whole last weekend experimenting with different products to see what works, and I think I’ve finally cracked the code. So, here’s what I did.
First off, I started with clean hair. Some people say you can do this with second-day hair, but for me, starting fresh was better. I washed my hair, then towel-dried it a bit. The key is to get it damp, not soaking wet. This is where the fun begins. I tried blow-drying just the roots really roughly, and then I used that diffuser thingy on the rest of my hair. Apparently, that helps to make waves, and it did! Oh, and I didn’t use a brush at all during this whole process. I just used my fingers to, like, comb through my hair while drying it. That made it look more natural and added some volume at the roots.
After my hair was dry, it was time for the magic stuff – the products. I had a bunch of them lined up: salt spray, some kind of styling pomade, and dry shampoo. I started with the salt spray. I just spritzed it all over, focusing on the ends. This stuff is supposed to give your hair that beachy texture, and it really worked. Then, I used a tiny bit of the styling pomade. I rubbed it between my hands and then just ran my fingers through my hair, messing it up on purpose. This added some definition and made it look intentionally messy. Finally, I used the dry shampoo. Even though my hair was clean, the dry shampoo added even more texture and a bit of a matte look, which is what I was going for.
Once I had all the products in, I played around with my hair a bit more, using my hands to make it as messy as I wanted. I kind of liked it really messy, so I went all out. And you know what? It actually looked pretty good! It was like, “Oh yeah, I just woke up, but I’m still fabulous.”
- Here’s a quick rundown of what I used:
- Salt spray: For that beachy, textured look.
- Styling pomade: To add definition and hold the messy style.
- Dry shampoo: For extra texture and a matte finish.
So, there you have it. My journey to achieving the perfect bed head. It took some trial and error, but I’m pretty happy with the results. If you’re going for that effortlessly cool look, give these steps a try. And remember, the messier, the better! It is so chic, and really breezy.
