Rainy mornings and muggy days call for a hairstyle that's up and out of your face. If you're tired of your go-to-pony or ballerina bun, why not try a messy braid? The style looks chic and effortless pulled off to the side, but it can easily be modified to suit your style—high, low or pulled to the back.
Check out some of the celebs that are loving the messy braid:

Here's how to get the look in six easy steps:
Step 1 Give your hair a little personality by spritzing it with Aussie Sprunch Hair Spray or another texture spray. Feel free to tease the roots and add a little list to the crown before you braid as well.
Step 2 Decide whether you want they hair in-front or behind your ears and then pull all of your hair to the desired side of your head.
Step 3 Begin by braiding a typical three-strand braid. Make sure to keep the style loose enough to play with but tight enough to keep it in place. If you really want to make it messy, tease sections of the hair as you go.
Step 4 Once you finish braiding, secure the end with an elastic.
Step 5 Gently pull and loosen a few pieces of braided hair, again the messier you want it the more you need to pull out.
Step 6 Take very small pieces of hair at the end of the braid and pull them free to give it that unfinished look.
