1. Using a small brush, start blow drying your hair until it is all straight and smoothed out. While doing this step you need to focus on the upper part of your hair.
2. Now start creating curls from the point of the ear downwards by using a large curling iron.
3. Tease the hair gently by using a fine comb. This step would build up the height and the volume of your hair.
4. The next thing that you need to do is to gather your hair into a pony tail and then twist it along the neck. Remember to pin as you go.
5. As you reach your ear with the pony tail, start making curls out of the remaining hair.
6. Make sure that there are no stray strands.
7. You can add texture to your style by curling the ends of your hair with your fingers.
