“I parted Olivia’s hair in a deep side part, and prepped her strands with Kerastasse Mousse Bouffante. I combed that through and blow-dried with GHD Professional Performance Hair Dryer. Once hair was completely dry, I curled the back of her hair using the R-Session Pro Nalu Waver to create the old Hollywood-inspired waves.

I added a three-strand braid using hair from behind her left ear, and wrapped it across the back of the head. Then I added a little more hair from behind her right ear and created a second braid on that side to connect the two without having to use an elastic. I took the end of the second braid across, and secured the ends with bobby pins. I finished the look with R + Co Outerspace Flexible Hold Hairspray and added some shine with Oribe’s Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil.”
