How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start by prepping damp hair with a heat protectant and a texturizing spray, then blow-dry with a round brush to build body.
Once dry, I take one-inch sections and wrap them around a 1.25-inch curling iron, alternating directions for that natural, undone feel.
After all sections are curled, I run my fingers through to break up the curls, then tuck one side behind the ear and secure with a bobby pin.
A light mist of flexible-hold spray and a few seconds of finger-combing gives that ‘I woke up like this’ finish that lasts through dancing.
