Here is what you will need for this hairstyle:
- A fine-toothed comb
- A hair spray
- A curler
- Bobby pins
To get the look, follow these steps: Shampoo your hair and towel dry it. Once it is completely dry, use the curler to give your hair some very loose curls. Now take the front section of your hair and tease it till it is fluffy. Basically backcomb the front section of your hair in the crown. Pull back the remaining strands of your hair and carefully pin it to the sides of your crown. Spritz some hair spray to your backcombed hair so that it stays in place. Let your curls rule!
