How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start by prepping the hair with a heat protectant and a light mousse, then blow-dry upside down for volume.
Next, I section the hair into three parts: crown, mid, and nape.
And braid each one before pinning them into a loose, twisted bun at the nape.
Once the braids are in place, I gently tug at the edges to loosen them.
This is the secret to that soft, romantic finish.
I finish with a spritz of shine spray and a few bobby pins hidden beneath the braids for extra security.
