How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with day-old hair—it grips better than freshly washed.
I spray a texturizing sea salt mist from mid-length to ends, then rough-dry to get that gritty, holdable base.
Section off the front pieces, then create a deep side part.
Braid loosely, tugging each strand outward as I go to widen it, then pin it into a low chignon.
I finish with a flexible hold hairspray not the stiff stuff.
And tuck in a few baby’s breath stems or pearl pins for that ‘I woke up like this’ elegance.
