The Organized Mess
Hair Style
Play video The Organized Mess
A carefree, organised mess.
This short and messy hairstyle is really versatile. It doesn’t need one type of hair to work, either curly or straight hair can rock this look.
This messy haircut only needs some product like Messy Look: Matte Gel and a bit of personality for it to work to its full potential.
No need to go over this with a blow-dryer, making sure every individual hair is perfectly placed. This ruffled-up 'do encourages a wild and carefree attitude.
If you want to go for the full rugged look, team your messy haircut with stubble or a full-on beard.
The History
HOW IT BEGAN
Short, messy hair goes hand in hand with the young beatnik poets of the 1950s, who sported roughed-up, unkempt looks during this phase. Literary genius puts you above things like hairbrushing.
Re-touchable and re-workable, all day long: the organized mess is all about getting in there and roughing things up
