Messy Messy Look

Have you been to Laura's blog? You should go to Laura's blog! I recently saw that she put up a post about doing a Messy Look from a tutorial she found and she looked fabulous! So of course I decided to give it a go because it looked so pretty and natural. Thea's youtube video was very helpful and she really went step by step on how to achieve the look. Or at least, prepare for it, in the first video. (By the way, you totally need to subscribe to her channel because that girl knows hair!) The second video is where you actually take your hair out of it's messiness and make it look totally bomb, at least for her anyways! She does a really good job of telling you what to do next for a very simple hairstyle that took me less than 10 minutes.

Now before you get too excited for pictures, please note that I'm the idiot who has no hairspray. So that was my first misstep. I also don't have a diffuser for my hair dryer. I think it came with one but it kept popping off and refused to stay attached. So without those products on hand, I knew my hair style wouldn't look nearly as good as Thea's from her video tutorial. But she really did do a fantastic job on her tutorial and I think everyone who's interested should definitely give it a shot because what have you got to lose? If you completely hate it, put it in a messy bun for the day and forget about it. But if you love it, you have a new, easy hair style to work!


I just woke up before taking these pictures, so I look super tired and groggy. I haven't had my morning coffee yet!

Waking up, having done nothing to my hair but sleep on it


Hot, right?

I took all of the braids and buns out and, of course, I already hated it.


After messing with it for a bit and making it calm down somewhat, I actually decided that it isn't so bad.
