How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start by prepping damp hair with a heat protectant and a light mousse, then blow-dry with a round brush for volume.
I like to curl everything in the same direction (away from the face) to create that cohesive flow before I start pinning.

And secure with bobby pins in an X pattern.
Pull out a few face-framing strands and a couple at the crown, then set with a flexible-hold hairspray.
