They say third time’s the charm so we’re back with another style for our Texture Cream trifecta. Whipped up by Brisbane local Samie Trewern this cut steers clear of traditional ‘clean cut’ styling for a Mid Length Messy Textured look. Messy styles are loved for being low maintenance and easy to keep on top of between trips to the barbershop. Also great if you’re looking to mix up a more traditional ‘mid-length’ style as you grow it out.
A Mid Length Messy Textured look is a simple, casual style that pairs well with laid-back lifestyles. Like all good hairstyles, this one starts with the right cut. The secret to nailing Messy Texture lies in a barber that’s handy with a feather razor; a technique that adds heavy texture to layered cuts for a less refined finish than traditional barber shears. Scope your local and flash a photo of your desired length (in this case ‘mid-length’) when you jump in the barber’s chair. Trust the process and you’ll be good as gold.
How to style Mid Length Messy Texture at home
Nailing this style at home can be as simple as rolling out of bed and hoping for the best but here’s a few tips for getting it right day in day out. To elevate this style Samie covers the bases with a two-step process: Foam Tonic to pre-style before finishing with Texture Cream.
Before getting stuck in, give your mop a good scrub with shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry and apply one or two pumps of Foam Tonic to damp hair. Grab a hair dryer with a diffuser to activate the Foam Tonic and start to piece out your textured style.
Finish with a dab of Texture Cream, spread evenly through dry hands before ‘raking’ in to add texture and hold. Work the product in front to back to ensure even coverage before using your fingers to ‘rough-up’ the style and add texture. Pinch at sections for definition and voila, you’re off to the races. Texture Cream remains re-workable throughout the day so you can keep tweaking throughout the day.
Not keen on a two-step process? Skip the pre-styling and grab a tin of Texture Cream. Apply to dry hair for best results.
What is Texture Cream?
Texture Cream adds texture effortlessly to short or long styles.
Its non-set finish means it won't set stiff, maintaining both softness and flexibility. The highly balanced formula offers a pliable hold and reworkable finish.
Texture Cream holds without the heft of traditional wax-based formulas, whilst allowing for restyling throughout the day without the need for more product.
