The Easiest Textured Hairstyle is a 2000’s Throwback—Meet ‘Kate Moss Hair’

Some beauty icons have spawned entire trends just by existing as themselves. Like Marilyn Monroe is synonymous with Hollywood curls and red lip, you can’t picture Cher without her long lengths, and Cindy Crawford’s supermodel blowout is still a blueprint to this day. Most recently, Kate Moss’s signature tousled hair (which she often paired with an effortlessly smudged liner look in the early aughts) is having a 2026 revival.

Kate Moss normalized the entire “just rolled out of bed” hair during a time when voluminous ‘90s blowouts were the standard. Her strands looked like they just perfectly fell into place, and it’s a look that’s still being recreated by celebrity hairstylists decades later. Dimitris Giannetos (the mastermind behind some of Kim Kardashian and Gigi Hadid’s best hair looks) says that “Kate Moss Hair is relaxed, airy, and a little rebellious.”

Ahead, everything you need to know to create ‘Kate Moss hair’ for yourself—plus tips for how to style it, and of course, some inspo to screenshot too.

The look is basically an elevated version of your just-woke-up bedhead, that she personified by pairing with smudgy eyeliner. Kate Moss's hair is “that perfectly lived-in wave that will take over summer,” explains Dimitris. “It’s effortless, textured, and undone.”

“It’s such a low-effort hairstyle, especially for summer,” Dimitris says. “The key here is subtle imperfection, and I especially love it on longer lengths.” It tends to work best on finer hair, where you can really build that effortless volume and movement.

“I achieve the look by alternating between a curling iron and a waver, so the pattern doesn’t look too uniform.” You can go as tame or tousled as you like, and to finish it off, just mist on some light hairspray or texture spray.
