scragglier
Less neat, messier
Scragglier is the comparative form of scraggly, meaning more unkempt, sparse, or irregularly shaped.
A scraggly beard grows in patches; a scragglier one is even more uneven: His beard was scragglier than I remembered.
The word often describes vegetation, hair, or anything that should be fuller or neater but isn't.
