How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a light texturizing spray at the roots, then divide your hair into sections.
I always braid from the nape upward for a crown effect, securing with clear elastics and bobby pins that match your hair color.
No one wants a shiny metal glint in photos.
Once the braid is in, I gently pull at the edges to loosen it, creating that effortless, lived-in feel.
Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray, but don’t drench it—you want movement, not a helmet.
This routine takes about 15 minutes in my chair, and it’s foolproof for a long day.
