How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start by prepping the hair with a lightweight mousse and rough-dry it upside down to build natural body.

And pin the tail into a low chignon, securing with bobby pins in a crisscross pattern.

And I always tuck a few loose strands around the face to frame the bride’s features.
