How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with freshly washed, fully detangled curls.
I always use a wide-tooth comb in the shower with conditioner still in.
Apply a curl cream from mid-length to ends, then flip your head upside down and gather the hair into a high ponytail.
Making sure the base sits right at your crown.
Split the ponytail into three sections and braid loosely, letting some curls escape at the front for that effortless, romantic vibe.
Secure with a clear elastic, then gently pull at the braid’s edges to widen it and give it that lived-in, boho finish.
