How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with day-old hair—it holds braids way better than freshly washed.
I work in a dollop of mousse, then blow-dry upside down for volume.
And let it cool completely before I even touch a comb.
I braid from the nape up, leaving face-framing pieces out.
Once it’s pinned, I gently tug at the braid edges to loosen them, then set everything with a humidity-proof finishing spray.
That’s the whole trick loose but locked in.
