Recently, the pixie cut has been having a good run, says Huey Tilley, COSMO’s resident stylist and owner of Cape Town-based salon,
Love. However, women, such as supermodel Kate Moss, are now going for a stronger look that requires little maintenance, he says.
Kate Moss’s messy bob makes use of a deep, side parting – this creates an asymmetrical style without having to cut your hair, he explains. The look can handle variations in colour, from black or bleached to light blonde and anything in between, he says. ‘It’s feminine and manageable and looks good done or undone.’
So, you’ve got the cut, but you’re not sure how to style it? Tilley shares four easy steps to master the messy bob.
