Short messy hairstyles are ruling the styling scene.


There’s a reason why short messy hairstyles are taking over the styling scene this season, and it isn’t just because every celebrity and her mother is opting for this look (Though that does help.). Short messy hairstyles are the ideal ‘it girl’ looks that don’t require too much upkeep. High maintenance styles are a thing of the past, and today’s looks are all about using efficient and tested techniques to develop a curated style that is effortless.


The short messy hairstyles in this collection are prime examples of ways to wear your hair that advance your personal style without distracting from the rest of your look. Short messy hair, no matter how you wear it, is one of the trendiest and easiest styles to maintain.


Read on for some messy short hair inspiration we know you’ll love:


1. Tousled Messy Half-Updo

An effortless half-updo is always the best go-to.


Create the perfect messy and tousled texture by wrapping your strands around a 1-inch curling wand in alternating directions. For this style, skip the hairspray and pin your curls up into a tousled messy half-updo. Leave a few strands hanging down around your face for a look that’s guaranteed to be flattering.

2. Voluminous Lob Short Haircut

Give your lob some extra volume.


Take a basic lob to the next level by spritzing your roots with Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Dry Shampoo. This powder is an almost-instant way to give your hair lift and added texture. Simply sprinkle the product onto your roots and wear your voluminous and textured lob with confidence. It’s one of our fave short messy hairstyles!
