How to get textured hair like Alexa Chung
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

If I tried to do this my hair would just be a big frizzy mess. It does look great though.

I used to have super long hair and got it cut shoulder length recently; I do like how it's so much easier to style my hair now but I miss my long hair from time to time.
