How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with clean, dry hair and apply a volumizing mousse from mid-length to ends, then blow-dry with a round brush, lifting at the roots.
Once dry, take one-inch sections, backcomb gently at the crown, and smooth the top layer over it.
This is the ‘secret sandwich’ that creates lasting lift without a crunchy feel.
For the final shape, use a 1.5-inch curling wand to create loose waves, then pin them up in a high ponytail or half-up style.
Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray from 12 inches away.
And use your fingers to gently pull a few face-framing pieces free.
That effortless, undone look is what makes volume feel modern, not stiff.
