Step 1: Start with clean hair.

Texture and body is key when it comes to this look. Wash hair with Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo followed up with the Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner to gently cleanse condition your hair as it leaves it with volume. If your hair is clean but could use a refresh, opt for Dove Refresh + Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo instead.

Step 2: Apply Heat protectant and blow-dry.

Liberally apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray to your hair, then blow-dry. Don’t focus too much on getting perfect blowout as this style involves lots of undone texture. Instead, ditch the round brush and rough-dry with your fingers.
