Start with damp hair
Apply a lightweight mousse or texturizing spray
Use a heat protectant if blow-drying
Blow-dry with a diffuser or round brush for volume
Scrunch hair while drying to enhance texture
Use a curling wand on random sections for added movement
Alternate curl directions for a more undone look
Leave the ends slightly straight for a shaggy finish
Finger-comb instead of brushing for separation
Apply a small amount of pomade or wax to define layers
Tease the roots lightly for extra lift
Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray
Refresh with dry shampoo between washes
Twist small sections while air-drying for natural texture
Avoid heavy products that weigh down layers
