Product to make hair ‘messy’

[InglouriousBasterd]

I’ve just had my hair cut to jaw length - I love it but it has a tendency to fall into a nice neat Bob which so isn’t me

I’ve been using the straighteners to flick it out and then mess it up a bit but that’s a pain to do all the time.

Are there any products out there that can texturise / create a messy look without making my hair solid and sticky?

TIA

I use texturising gum from V05 or there is one by Wella which is a Styling serum

Dry shampoo or texturising sprays

Ooh thank you. I saw the gum but worried it would do the sticky thing! I had a feeling texturisers would work well - I’m about to hit Boots!

I'm always trying to create messy looks for my bob. Are you going to post a photo of your finished look?

Sea salt spray in a dull blue bottle; can't recall the brand. Nicely textured messy but not sticky.

Bed. Get in it. Have a nice long nap. Get up and go!

Superdrug do a budget version of the salt spray, it seems just as good as the expensive brand ones.

I've tried sea salt spray and didn't get on with it (mine is a yellow bottle, not blue. Maybe that's where I went wrong). I have read rave reviews of a product by Bumble and Bumble but it's around £20 so I haven't tried it yet. Would be interested to hear from people who have....

I've managed to mess it up a bit using my Babyliss to create slightly dishevelled waves but still haven't quite achieved the effect I'm after.

Sea salt spray. I like the sachajuan ocean mist best, but John Frieda and Toni & Guy ones are pretty good too.

A powder works wonders on my hair! I've tried all sorts and this is the only thing that works

Oh lots of ideas!! Thank you!

Gregory - that’s exactly what I do looks perfect at first then falls into a lovely smooth and well behaved bob once I’m moving around! I’m constantly messing it up to try and get the tousled look...

I use all the got2b range. They do a dry texture shampoo, puff powder and hairspray.

So I’ve picked up the got2be powder and texturising spray as it promises no crunch and the range is on 3 quid offer at the moment - definitely worth a try. Will report back!!

I’ve hear good things about bumble and bumble but the price makes me wince!

I was just about to suggest Bumble and Bumble Texture Creme. It's amazing. It is indeed pricey, but a tube of it lasts me months - you really only need a tiny amount each time.

Is it long enough to plait small sections, or divide in to two buns? If done when your hair is slightly damp and left overnight, that would provide a decent texture for a messy look.

Give me - I tried that the other day but it looked like I had Lego hair 😄 I think because it’s naturally curly (it used to be ringlets pre DC and is now just meh unless straightened)

Ah Waving I might have to give it a go...I’ll see how I get on with the cheapies first!

Bumble and Bumble Dryspun Finish. Or Cool Girl by Charles Worthington (embarrassing name but it’s marvellous!)

I use L'Oréal Scruff Me, which my hairdresser recommended. T'is excellent.

I use this to create my wavy bob: www.johnfrieda.com/en-uk/products/frizz-ease/air-dry-waves-foam/

I literally just put it through my damp hair and scrunch it. It dries curly and very soft.

Dryspun finish is lovely, but it goes very quickly.

Oh Scruff Me has amazing reviews!
