​By Carla Snuggs

The Rodarte-Inspired Messy Braid is a lot easier to recreate than you think! Latest-Hairstyles.com guest contributor Steph Brinkerhoff explains, "It’s best to start on wavy or second-day hair to give the look added texture. It also doesn’t hurt to spray a little hairspray or spray wax in it beforehand to add a little grip and grunge. Here’s how to get the look…" Check out this easy messy braid hair tutorial:

Step 1. Beginning on wavy hair, take a medium to large section (depending on how thick your hair is) close to your right ear.

Step 2. Braid the section going from the front to the back.

Step 3. Repeat on the opposite side.

Step 4. Bring both braids to the back and secure them with an elastic.

Step 5. Loosen and mess up both braids by pulling on them gently with your fingers.

Step 6. Take one braid and wrap it up and around itself, creating a small braided bun. 

Step 7. Secure with bobby pins.
