    Alexa Chung is envied for a lot of things – her unconventional beauty, her unique fashion sense, and of course, that perfectly ‘I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-this-way’ tousled hair. Well guess what Alexa? You’re not the only one who can sport such fabulously tousled, textured hair!

    In fact, as Wella Pro Series Expert, Michael Brennan, shows us that big, volumised hair is surprisingly, pretty darn easy to achieve.

    Here’s how you do it…

    1.) Start by washing your hair with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to ensure your hair is looking shiny and healthy.

    bh recommends: Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo, Pureology Hydrate Shampoo, Sunsilk Refreshing Hydration Shampoo, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo, Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo

    2.) Towel-dry your hair and apply a volumising mousse at the roots to create lift, working it through to your mid-lengths give your hair some extra holding power.

    bh recommends: muk Haircare Fat muk - Volumising Blowout Mousse, Models Prefer Style It Volumising Mousse, Trevor Sorbie Thicker & Fuller Mousse

    3.) Next, rough-dry your hair, before separating it into one-inch sections and wrapping each section of hair around some tongs to create loose curls and movement.

    4.) Shake the curls out to create a layered effect and finish with hairspray.

    bh recommends: Schwarzkopf Extra Care Body & Texture Hairspray, VO5 Ultimate Hold Hairspray, TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray, KMS HAIRSTAY Working Hairspray

    My hair is already like this colour naturally :)

    josella432 25 Jul 2017 1:56 PM

    Her hair looks great! I don't style my hair much, usually just a bit of hair oil or serum to tame the flyaways.

    Chicklet 20 Jul 2017 10:18 PM

    Her hair looks great, but my hair always resists texture, movement and volume!

    Beautybabe140194 20 Jul 2017 9:04 PM

    Her hair always looks so healthy and lush. I will have to follow the above tips.

    skincare junkie 19 Jul 2017 8:52 PM

    I have quite straight hair so i need a curler to create wave and texture

    blackkittykat 19 Jul 2017 8:30 PM

    These are some helpful and easy to follow tips. I am going to give this a try! Alexa Chung is gorgeous, she definitely has 'IT'.

    Love her hair! For me, a bit of hairspray will do the trick. It makes my hair look volumised.

    Great hair tips. I must try the tip using a volumising mousse to give my roots a lift. I love Jennifer Lopezs hair and colour

    If I wear my hair down, I like mousse. It gives me texture without making my oil-prone hair look dirty.

    ray_jay 18 Jul 2017 10:44 PM

    I like her look. It's nice to see someone going against the typical Hollywood look too all the time. It looks cool but not dirty.

    ThisIsMe 18 Jul 2017 1:34 PM

    Love this look!! I am so going to try these tips!!

    clearcrystalwater 18 Jul 2017 10:15 AM

    I like her hair - it looks so easy to look after and 'do'. I won't mind shorter hair like that sometime in the future.

    Pixie96 18 Jul 2017 12:54 AM

    I really like this hairstyle.

    Snailor 17 Jul 2017 10:08 PM

    I'll have to have a crack at this - I've been looking for some new hairstyles!

    Ellelily 17 Jul 2017 8:55 PM

    I try and try but i just seem to end up with hair that does look like I got out of bed, and its not always a good look

    Trish_D 17 Jul 2017 10:57 PM

    I LOVE this comment, Ellelily!!!!It's me to a tee and so perfect!

    Hayley644 17 Jul 2017 8:07 PM

    Love Megan Gale's hair, it always looks gorgeous.

    makeupcat 17 Jul 2017 7:20 PM

    Love her choc brown/med brown ombre.

    TheUglyDuckling 17 Jul 2017 4:02 PM

    For some reason, my ends have decided to go a bit crispy. I don't know what's going on right now! I think it's a new serum I've decided to try out (and I am incredibly unhappy about it). The mid-length is fine but the ends are like cereal. Crunchy.

    She always has cool hair. I have taken her picture in to my hairdresser numerous times.

    Gilded 17 Jul 2017 12:30 PM

    I like a messy lob but darn I'm happiest with long hair.

    Chicklet 17 Jul 2017 12:10 PM

    Love her look, but my hair always reverts to its natural straight state!

    2663anne 17 Jul 2017 12:07 PM

    No matter how hard I try I can't get loose waves from my tongs, I get boxes. Not a good look lol
