style 1 - big headband, bigger hair
section out the bottom 3rd of your hair horizontally
use a 1 in curling iron (i’m using the ghd classic curve) and take 1 in sections to curl
use the “twist curl method” twisting and dropping the hair continuously as you move down the section you’re curling.
alternate curls away from the face and towards the face to create more texture
repeat twist curls in the middle and top sections
for face framing sections, curl away from face
spray with texture spray and let curls cool completely (5-10 mins)
comb out curls with wide tooth comb
tuck front pieces behind ears
add a giant sparkly headband
style 2 - stars and space buns
section out 2 pieces in front to frame the face
part hair down the center
take a small triangle section on both sides of the part and secure with elastic, creating 2 pigtails
twist and wrap hair around elastics, shaping into buns, leaving out a good amount on the ends, secure buns with bobby pins
add star charms to either side of the part
