4 Short messy hairstyles for the weekend
The wild pony
This laid-back look is perfect for everything from binge watching Netflix to a casual brunch with friends, and can be done on any hair type, from afro to straight. But personally, we think that it looks especially fabulous when worn slightly curled or wavy, as this really adds to its undone appeal!
To create this short messy hair style, simply tie your mane back into a high ponytail, and pull a few wispy tendrils of hair free from the front to help frame your face. To pump up this look, simply spritz the Toni&Guy Glamour Firm Hold Hairspray onto the end of your ponytail, before lightly teasing it with a comb, to add texture and volume!

The wild pixie crop
Pixie cut lovers, you’re in for a treat! Although this edgy weekend-worthy crop is messy, it’s still super stylish and chic. To achieve this lived-in ‘do at home, ensure that your pixie is cut shorter on the sides, while the top and fringe are kept longer.
To style your hair every morning, all you’ll need to do is apply a small amount of the TIGI S-Factor Creamy Molding Wax to your hands, before messing up the top of your hair by running your fingers through it, twisting as you go. Psst: To ooze Ruby Rose Rock ‘n’ Roll vibes, throw on a stylish pair of sunnies. Credit: @princessstiefel
The textured bob
The perfect ‘do for a night out on the town or for a weekend BBQ, a textured bob is set to be the short hair look for 2017. To create this style, lightly curl your hair in different directions to create the illusion of movement and mess. And remember: don’t hold the curling tongs on your hair for too long, otherwise your locks will look too defined.
Once you’ve curled all of your hair, tip your head upside down and gently run your fingers through the waves to separate them for a more lived-in finish. To complete your ‘do, set it in place with some Toni&Guy Casual Flexible Hold Hairspray, to ensure it has hold and natural-looking movement. Credit: @hairgod_zito
The laid-back, low bun
Messy short hair looks aren’t always about wild mane, don’t you know? They can also have a hint of refinement about them, too! Perfect for those of you with shoulder-grazing bobs or lobs, the laid-back, low bun looks exactly as it sounds: laid-back. Credit: @happilygrey
To rock this look, all you have to do is gather your hair into a low side ponytail to start. Then, using the tail of your pony, create a messy bun by folding it in half and messing it up, securing it with a hairband. To finish, pull out a few loose strands around your face, and loosen the hair on top of your head by gently tugging at a few sections. Welcome to your effortless-looking, messy bun!
Always leaving your night out hairdo to the very last minute? Don’t worry, because you’ll never have to keep your friends waiting again with these stunning hairstyles you can create in less that 5 minutes (yes, seriously!).
