Lots of girls wear their hair out when they want to look sexy, but for me sometimes the sexiest is a well constructed up do. Its elegant, classy and suits most face shapes given it is done well.
While I love the look, its not always the easiest thing to recreate out of the salon.
Here are our top tips to creating a sexy, mussed up do that will make all your girlfriends jealous!
1. Apply a large dollop of mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a large round brush.
2. Take 3-inch sections of hair and wrap around a 1-inch curling iron, you don’t have to be meticulous here because the aim of the game is a messy look.
3. Spray a texturising spray all over for volume and body.
4. Braid your hair loosely from the nape, and then pin your braid into a loose bun and then pin the braid into a bun. Spray with hairspray for hold.
You can either leave some loose bits dangling or sweep it all back depending on your preferences.

Wow, the red dress looks amazing! Pity the hair wouldn’t work on me, my hair is dead straight and flat.
Love the messy up do!! For me it is a lifesaver, I have such thin, lifeless hair that when i wear it out it just kinda hangs and looks terrible..
Looks good in the pics, but when I do it on myself it looks like rubbish
I love this style
