The curly grunge hairstyles that appeared on musicians and fashion icons of the 1990s have come back in a big way. The style works for both men and women with long, naturally curly hair, giving a casual wild-and-tousled look. Grunge hair doesn't need to be worn down; weave it into a messy braid, or wear it on top of the head in a bun and leave just a few wisps of wind-tousled curls hanging out as testament to the age of grunge.

Leave hair unwashed for at least a day.

2

Spray hair with heat-protectant spray. Comb through hair with a brush to distribute the protectant to each strand.

3

Plug the curling iron or straightening iron in and allow it to heat up.

4

Separate a 2-inch section of hair from the left side of your head. Clip the rest of your hair up or to the right side with a large hair clip.

5

Wrap the 2-inch section of hair around the barrel of a wide curling iron and hold for about 10 seconds. Continue curling 2-inch sections of hair, from the left side of the head to the right side, until you've achieved a full head of large, loose curls. Alternatively, wrap hair around the barrel of a straightening iron to make the curls.

6

Rub a nickel-size dollop of hair texturizer between hands and run fingers through hair to evenly distribute the product to each strand. Your fingers will be helping to break up the curls, making them look more natural and voluminous.

7

Spray hair with hair spray to freeze the curly grunge hair that you've created. Use a volumizer hairspray for thin hair.
