The Messy Ponytail
No one rocks the messy ponytail quite like our favourite Brit, Alexa Chung. To pull off the look smoothly, pull your unbrushed hair into a medium-low ponytail, and let your bangs and/or baby hairs around the face fall free. Rub your hairline around your temples to pull a few more strands out, to make it look natural.
