The correct answer is disheveled.
The word disheveled means untidy, unruly, unkempt, scruffy, messy, etc. It is usually used with a reference to either hair or clothing. It comes from French, where chevel means hair, so descheveler means to uncover hair. Over time, when it was incorporated into English, it got the meaning it has even today.
