Copy Alexa Chung's messy updo complete with cute side braid!

Alexa Chung nails the art of edgy updoing . Sweet but not sickly, Alexas shaggy pin-up complete with braid detail is one for the effortless hair stylists in the house.

So, if you prefer to pin-up and go as oppose to set and strategically style for hours on end then the shaggy updo is for you...

Achieve the look with these easy styling tips:
Allow hair to dry naturally after washing in order to retain your natural wave, apply a palm sized amount of styling moose to help define texture.

Next, take the front section of the hair and part over to the side, plaiting in a downward direction. For those with unruly fringes try gripping back into centre sections with Kirby grips.

Then, simply pull back your ungroomed hair and twist into a messy chignon allowing unruly pieces of hair to flow freely around the neck and hairline.

Finally, spray a light mist of hairspray all over the head for hold and accessorise with flower and/or diamante accent grips for a feminine feel.
