How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a heat protectant and a light mousse, then blow-dry upside down for lift.

I’ll curl in alternating directions with a 1-inch barrel, leaving the ends out for that undone feel.

Once the curls cool, I gently brush them out, pin back the front sections.

And finish with a flexible-hold hairspray.

The key is to pin loosely—not too tight—so the style breathes.

Turn to Page 4 for my all-night wear longevity secrets, touch-up kit essentials.

Always check how the finish and proportions look in both natural window light and warm indoor lighting so the result feels effortless from every angle.

And final studio checklist.
