Beyonce might wake up like that, but for the rest of us mere mortals, bed head isn't always a good look. However! That doesn't mean it CAN'T be totally hot … au contraire! A great bedhead look — whether it's been worked with a little or not — can be ultra sexy and super cute.
So, put down your straight irons, set aside your hair dryers, and consider taking a walk on the un-done (or at least, LESS done) side of life. Here are 11 examples of bed head hair that will make you want to, well, let your hair down!

The Knotted Braid
This pretty look was created by Latest-Hairstyles guest contributor Steph Brinkerhoff, who says it works BEST with second-day hair! Here's a quick tutorial to create the look yourself:
"It doesn’t hurt to spray a little hairspray or spray wax in it beforehand to add a little grip and grunge," says Steph. Then …
1. Beginning on wavy hair, take a medium to large section (depending on how thick your hair is) close to your right ear.
2. Braid the section going from the front to the back.
3. Repeat on the opposite side.
4. Bring both braids to the back and secure them with an elastic.
5. Loosen and mess up both braids by pulling on them gently with your fingers.
6. Take one braid and wrap it up and around itself, creating a small braided bun.
7. Secure with bobby pins.
