Jessica, 32: “I love the messy look”

Your look? Somewhere between rock and bad girl, but always stylish with a hint of femininity. I often wear shorts and short skirts, no matter what season it is. Always denim. In winter I wear opaque tights and in summer I go for bare legs. A lot of my shorts are old jeans that I’ve cut short. That’s where the ‘bad girl’ theme comes from… As for tops, I opt for loose vests and tees for a combined masculine-feminine look. When it comes to accessories I like to go all out, with loads of metal rings and chunky bracelets.
 
Your hairstyle? I’ve waited a fair few years, but now I finally have long hair which I can wear with pride. But it’s not been easy! I have quite dry hair so I have had to look after my mid-lengths and ends so that I don’t have to get it cut so much and lose a couple of inches every time! As for the style, I don’t really have a preference. Hair down, braid, messy chignon, side ponytail… I just choose styles that look good and are easy to do.
 
Your look today? Exit the standard three-strand braid: I’ve mixed things up a bit by twisting my hair. I started with an off-centre side-parting and pulled my hair to one side to give the twist extra volume. I then secured with a hair band and left a few pieces out for a slightly messy look.
