Curl one section at a time

Divide your hair into two vertical sections, clipping one section and leaving the other one down. Then, take a smaller section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron for a few seconds before taking another small section. After all the sections have been curled, unclip the other side and repeat the curling process.

Tie your hair

Make your ‘90s half up pigtails. Gather a small section of hair near your hairline on one side and tie it with an elastic. Do the same thing on the other side while making sure the pigtails are placed at the same height.

#HairHack: Give your hair a more natural look by using the pointy end of a tail comb to loosen some strands near your hairline. Let these strands fall and frame your face.
