Hey...I'm a male and would really like the messy hair affect. I have straight black hair (long as of now) and was wondering how short I should cut it or what exactly the hair cut I should get to have a good/perfect messy hair affect. I've cut my hair short before but I don't think I've cut it short enough or something because I just can never seem to make it "messy". Are there any tips on how to make it messy as well? (I'm totally clueless on how to do it). I'd like the hair to also not look like it has gel in it (I want it to look as dry as possible). Thanks in advance. P.S. I do not have a picture of me

I don't have a clue how you could achieve that effect, but just wanted to say... don't be disappointed if it seems nearly impossible. Some people's hair has a great memory, and it will stay perfect and in the right places no matter what you do. Anais |

I don't know what kind of cut you should get ask a hairdresser. Use a pomade or something to make it messy. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

How is your hair cut? Is it done with scissors or a razor? If it's scissors, do they cut straight across or chip into it? Razoring adds a lot of texture to hair, which is pretty instrumental in the short messy look. And what products do you use? Pomades and waxes add texture to your hair as well and create piecyness. After that, it's a matter of mussing everything and leaving it alone. And most importantly, is your hair fine, normal, or thick? Fine hair doesn't have the volume for messiness. I'd suggest looking for a picture of the look you want in a hair magazine and then ask your stylist if they can duplicate that on your hair. And then get them to give you hints on how to do it at home. ------------- |

I'm not the "above poster" but... Pomades often contain waxes like paraffin. Texturing waxes can contain beeswax, making it harder to remove... but beeswax does hold better than paraffin. Therefore texturing wax could get you a "harder" result than pomade. Just my theory. ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

AnaisSatin just told you the difference between a pomade and a texturizing wax. I know I'm not the above poster either but ukhairdressers.com has a style gallery. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

Hey Scott, may I ask what product you use? And Ted, try using Garnier Fructis's Texturing Paste. It's a fairly new product and it has a matte finish, meaning no shine at all! Just like the "dry look" that you want. ------------- |

Hmm product.. Sometimes I use nuthing, but I usually add some hairspray, towel dry it and then lightly spray some more hairspray on it.. I get alot of people asking me how I do it, and ALOT can't seem to get it right. Here is a pic of when my hair was longer.. http://img201.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img201&image=p10100235jl6gj.jpg">
