Apply a dollop of mousse to damp hair. The exact amount depends on the thickness of the hair. Use your fingers to distribute it throughout. Focus on the roots to build volume.

Pull your hair back to the nape of your neck. At that spot, begin braiding the hair loosely; don't pull it too tight. If any hair sticks out of the braid, it's fine as it's supposed to be messy. Secure at the bottom with a rubber band.

Loosen sections of hair that frame the face; loose tendrils add to the look of the messy braid. Spray a shine serum onto the hair and braid to smooth down excess flyaway hair. Spray a light mist of hairspray onto the front of the hair.
