For Long Hair. Start by lightly curling hair with a two-inch barrel, then use a texturizing spray to achieve a lived-in look. Create a deep side part and braid hair into a fishtail then secure with an elastic. Pull shorter layers out of the braid to give it a messier final look.

For Medium-Long Hair Tie hair into a sleek half-up ponytail, then secure the bottom half into another ponytail at the nape of the neck. Starting with the top section, braid hair to the base of the bottom ponytail, then join to finish the braid.
