Fake It Till You Make It: How to Create Textured Lived-In Hair
Fake easy texture in just a few minutes.
Models, celebrity hairstylists and hair experts have all been featuring their fair share of messy, textured and lived-in hair looks as of late. From photos snapped behind-the-scenes on set to backstage shots at Fashion Week, we’ve seen countless examples of lived-in hair and messy tresses. Creating this look is all about using a very particular cocktail of products and specific styling techniques. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how to DIY this tousled look here:
How to Create Textured Lived-In Hair
Start off with Day 2 or Day 3 hair and use this hair hack as a way to make the most of tresses that aren’t freshly washed and have a bit of lived-in texture to them. Spritz Suave Dry Texture Finishing Spray through the lower half of your strands and use your fingers to comb the product through. Formulated with Amino Acid Complex product helps add texture and hold to your hair and serve as the perfect base for a tousled look.
After that, use a dry shampoo in your roots to absorb excess oil and restore your hair to a voluminous and weightless state. We love to use Suave Professionals Refresh & Revive Dry Shampoo for this exact purpose as it’s formulated to do exactly as it says: refresh and revive dirty hair and bring it back to a place that’s more intentional with a touch more of a polished finish.
Grab a 1-inch curling iron and create random messy waves throughout your hair. Let each wave cool before using your fingers to comb through to break them up even more. A quick mist of TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture Hold Level 1 will add even more texture while also adding hold.
