Decadent To Do

How to Achieve:

1. Curl your hair with tongs for luscious waves
2. Apply dry shampoo near the crown for extra volume before gathering and pinning the hair at the back of the head
3. Be sure to leave a small section at the front of the hair to sit alongside the face, and secure the look with hairspray.

Braided Crown

How to Achieve:

2. Take two sections from the front of your hair and form chunky plaits, making sure to direction the braid towards the back of the head
3. Secure with bobby pins at the back of the head, or if your hair is a little longer, tie the two braids together.

The Whimsical Side Part

How to Achieve:

1. This look is all about achieving an effortless finish

3. Mark a messy side part using a styling comb and add sea salt spray for more volume.
