muss up
Tousle the hair
To muss up is to make messy or disheveled, especially hair or clothing: Don't muss up my hair—I just styled it.
The phrase emphasizes the disruption of something that was neat or orderly.
Muss alone carries the same meaning, but muss up is more common in casual American speech.
