Used informally in spoken Japanese to describe messy, unkempt hair or a scraggly beard, often with a lighthearted or mildly negative tone.
彼は毎朝もしゃもしゃの髪で起きる。
Kare wa maiasa moshamosha no kami de okiru.
He wakes up with tousled hair every morning.
その人はもしゃもしゃのひげを生やしている。
Sono hito wa moshamosha no hige o hayashite iru.

⚖️ Commonly confused with ぼさぼさ (bosabosa), which also means messy hair but often implies a larger, bushier mess, whereas もしゃもしゃ suggests a shaggier, more unkempt look.
