How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with detangled, lightly damp hair.

I always work with a leave-in spray to keep things smooth.

Part into quadrants, then braid each section from root to tip, securing with a clear elastic that matches your hair color.

Once all four are in, I gently tug at the edges of each braid to puff them out (only if you want that boho feel), then smooth down flyaways with a bit of edge control.

Finish with a spritz of shine spray.

And you’re out the door in under half an hour.

And final studio checklist.
