Hollywood's favorite new hairstyle (and how to get it).

According to celebrity hairstylist, Charles Baker Strahan, tousled hair is the style everyone in Hollywood is loving right now. He shows us— and one lucky Thread viewer— how to get the look!



Picture a head of low-key, artfully messy soft waves. That’s tousled hair. Charles has given this sexy, “perfectly imperfect” look to all his girls, including Becki Newton and Leighton Meester, and he insists that we can do it ourselves at home using products from Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly collection.

Our model Jenny, 27, who works in skincare, has fantastic long, medium textured hair, which she wears up in a ponytail most of the time. Charles broke down the steps for us as he gave Jenny a tousled makeover. 

Step 1. Wash with Tousle Me Softly shampoo and conditioner.

Step 2. Prep hair with styling cream and/or mousse. In Jenny’s case he used a golf ball size handful of mousse.

Step 3. Dry hair. Use a round brush under heat to set it.

Step 4. Add tousels and volume. With a curling iron— or multiple irons of varying widths— add curls in different directions. Smooth out flyaways near the roots with a flat iron. 

Step 5. Finishing cream and flexible hold hair spray will keep the tousles in place and leave hair soft—not crunchy!

Of course, Jenny looked great—she loved the volume and the bouncy tousles— and she’s going to try it again at home and let us know how it goes.

    omg!whoever wanted to show this hairstyle to the public is stupid! HELLO we already have that look in every state! I can have that look anytime with out doing anything except wet my hair and comb it. Ta Da i have wavy hair. This look has been around for a long time. I guess they didn't kno that cause they dont pay attention to what WE would like to see or have!

    My hair looks like that naturally if I leave it alone after washing. What a waste of a blog!
