Steps:

1. Create a waved base, using curling iron and flat iron to add bends. Add texture to crown and strands by ‘fuzzing’ up the hair.
2. Prep hair with Thick Spray.
3. Gather hair to the back, leaving pieces around the face.
4. Braid hair into Dutch or French braid, making it tight at first. Secure with hair elastic.
5. Use your artistry to pull apart braid (best to butterfly out the ends).
6. Fuzz up hair with bristle brush, and pull pieces around the head to keep it relaxed and festival-friendly.
7. Apply Texture Spray, especially to bangs (“money pieces!”).
8. Use rat-tail comb to pull out additional strands from braid, for an even more ‘undone’ look.
9. Add Glitter Spray for some glam!
