Who would’ve believed that ? Having messy hair, or at least giving the illusion of it, would be the hair trend of the moment. That would even be sexy! Gone are the straighteners, curling irons, and other hair dryers, messy hair, the one you dreaded until then when you got out of bed, rebels and even takes revenge to rise to the top of the beauty inspirations of the year. . It will take your breath away!
Did you spend a restless, caliente night or did you not hear that pesky alarm clock that constantly annihilates all hope of rest? Do not panic ! If you had to spend in the past – understand a week ago – an hour in front of your mirror to dress yourself up, this time is now over. A touch of texturizing spray, hair oil, or wax will do the trick if you’re ready to embrace the hair trend of the moment: ‘bedhead hair’.
Laziness dictates its tendencies
We have seen it in fashion, laziness is proving to be an extraordinary trendsetter for the year 2023, and even seems to inspire social network users who now swear by the ‘lucky girl syndrome’ ‘, an autosuggestion method intended to bring luck home.
One thing leading to another, now the beauty sector also seems to want to make laziness its new source of inspiration. Because the ‘bedhead hair’, which could be translated as the messy haircut, will necessarily meet the expectations of those who do not have the time, the desire, the patience, or the energy to take time to do your hair in the morning.
The idea is simple. Just imagine your face on waking – or almost – without going as far as glued eyes, or a wrinkled face. It’s all about capitalizing on the haircut you can get out of bed: hair that’s subtly tangled or pillow crumpled, slightly wavy or curly depending on the original texture, even disheveled.
As surprising as it may seem, this is exactly what celebrities and social media users are currently enamored with. Evidenced by the destructured scarf exhibited recently by Jenna Ortega (aka Wednesday Addams from the Netflix series of the same no), the chopped bob, which ignited Instagram and TikTok. And she’s not the only one. Ashley Benson (actress in the series Pretty Little Liars) and Bella Hadid (international model), are also among the personalities who have contributed, voluntarily or not, to popularizing this new trend.
Less is more, the ultimate chic
You will understand, the ‘bedhead hair’ is actually a little more worked than it seems. It’s not (nor) about going from bed to office without looking at yourself in a mirror. But the idea is to ditch the straightener and blow dryer, and hand-work those pillow-crumpled locks via spray, oil, or wax. To achieve this falsely neglected result, you need to have a few flyaways, waves, or even a few frizz, to give the impression of having gone out without having done your hair, the air of nothing.
It is – again and again – this famous less is more, between laziness and the quest for naturalness, which has now punctuated beauty trends since the start of the pandemic. The phenomenon is already a crowd of followers on TikTok with no less than 285 million views for the hashtag #bedhead. And if you want to push the inspiration all the way, opt for a very light make-up, as if done in a hurry, for an even more chic and sexy look. More than laziness, it is imperfection that now rains and shines on beauty trends.
