Instructions

  1. 1

    Start with clean, towel-dried hair. Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner if desired.

  2. 2

    Comb through hair using a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.

  3. 3

    Section hair into top and bottom halves for easier styling.

  4. 4

    Using a round brush and blow dryer, gently smooth each section while enhancing the natural flow of layers.

  5. 5

    Focus on creating slight inward or outward curves at the ends for movement, depending on preference.

  6. 6

    Once all sections are dry, check for evenness and adjust layers with fingers or brush.

  7. 7

    Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold shape while keeping the look soft and natural.

  8. 8

    Optional: Run fingers through hair for a relaxed, effortless texture typical of Kate Moss’s signature style.

Styling Tips

  • For added shine, apply a small amount of serum to mid-lengths and ends

  • Can be worn naturally air-dried for a more casual, tousled effect

  • Perfect for medium to long hair, but layers can be adjusted for shorter cuts

  • Use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush to maintain natural texture
