Beauty Genius: Michelle Fiona Messy Hair – Find Hair Products for the Messy Hair Look

Messy Hair – Find Hair Products for the Messy Hair Look - ELLE The rock star coiffeur reveals how she does sexy, tousled tresses for famous hipster clients

SPECIALTY: "I try to make hair look like a stylist didn't touch it," says Fiona, the go-to girl for pretty hipsters such as Zooey Deschanel and Karen Elson. "So much Hollywood hair tends to be too precise—I like messing it up."

SECRET WEAPON: Fiona, who splits her time between San Francisco and New York City, is a big fan of hair powder: "It's great for shoots when models come in with too-clean hair. It's light, but when you spray it in the roots, it creates dense, buildable volume."

QUICK FIX: Want a flirty, tousled bedhead? Wash hair at night, let it air-dry for 15 minutes, pin it up in a loose bun, and go to sleep. "When you wake up, you'll have soft curls."

Fiona uses Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil Moisturizing Nutrient to smooth dry ends ("It also separates curls").

Bumble and bumble Surf Spray "can be used as a hairspray, a texturizer, or a de-frizzer—just spritz it on your palms and pat it on your hair."

Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony Extract "gives fine hair volume."

The bristles on the Anna Sui Beauty Hair Brush are "perfect both for making smooth ponytails and back-combing at the crown."
