How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start by prepping damp hair with a heat protectant and a light volumizing spray, then blow-dry upside down for root lift.
Section off the top half, curl the bottom in alternating directions.
And let the curls cool before touching them this locks in the shape.
Once cooled, gently finger-comb the curls, pin up the top section into a soft twist.
And secure with bobby pins crossed for extra hold.
Finish with a mist of hairspray and a tiny bit of shine serum on the ends to tame any frizz.
