Step 1

Using a round brush, blow-dry hair smooth and straight, focusing on the top sections.

Step 2

Once dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down.

Step 3

Build height and volume at the crown by teasing hair gently with a fine-tooth comb.

Step 4

Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go.
