How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with clean, dry hair and a heat protectant.
I always work in sections to avoid tangles.
For braids, I’ll mist each section with texturizing spray, then braid loosely and gently tug to widen the weave for a softer, more romantic feel.
Once the style is set, I’ll use a fine-tooth comb to smooth flyaways and finish with a flexible-hold hairspray.
If you’re adding pins or flowers, place them last so they sit perfectly on top of the shape.
