Get The Steps

1. Starting on a complete head of beachy waves, rake your fingers and create a loose section along the parietal ridge and down the back of the head toward the nape. As you work toward the nape, make the section gradually more narrow. Directly on or below the occipital bone, tie off with an elastic.
2. Using your palms, lightly massage at the crown to create a lived-in effect. Take the two side sections and cross them over the top of the first ponytail and secure a second ponytail directly underneath, then tie off with an elastic. 
3. Then, expand the ponytail by backcombing underneath add volume and build airy texture.
4. Finish by applying L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Lustrous Finishing Spray to set the style.
