Bedhead hair, the winning look for men

Messy hair with that ‘just-got-out-of-bed’ feel is a hot trend in the world of men’s hairdressing. The trend that first became popular in the early nineties is back. Activate your fashionista radar and discover how to wear the look that’s got them all head over heels. The ‘just-got-out-of-bed’ look is the all the rage. At the Paris fashion week designers like Céline and Dior showed off their collections for men with their models sporting decidedly tousled hairstyles, but these untidy looks require a lot more work than one would suspect. There was nothing left to chance here, they were intentionally styled to look that way.

The origins of bedhead hair

To understand where the look comes from we have to go back the the early 90s. At this time laid-back, androgynous and easy haircuts were in. Sound familiar? We bet you haven’t forgotten the favorite look of some of the decade's hottest couples: Brad and Gwyneth,  Jude Law and Sadie or Johnny and Winona and it seems that this style’s back and here to stay.

How is the hair cut?

Although it may seem at first glance like a complete disaster, this couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a cut that is a twist on the short back and sides polished style. The top section is carefully styled. The key is having straight or slightly wavy hair.

How should you style bedhead hair?

After washing the hair, pat dry with a towel and apply some curl mousse Curl Foam 02 (remember we’re going for a casual and natural finish). Let the hair dry naturally then, shape with your hands until you have created the desired shape. If your hair is very fine and you want to give it some extra body, then your best bet is Styling Dust, it has a matte finish and will give your hair volume without stickiness. It’s perfect for creating the coolest looking ‘beach’ hair. Another product that can help you to create the ‘just-got-out-of-bed’ look is the matte wax Contrôle Crème Mat. This cream gives you a natural-looking finish without any build-up. Its formula prevents hair dehydration and improves feel and body. Now you’re ready to recreate this on-trend look! ; ) And if you’re interested in other articles like Bedhead hair, the winning look for men, or you want to stay ahead of the latest trends, get some daily hair care tips or find out what’s hot in hairstyling, then follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.
