STEPS
Prep damp hair with amika Brooklyn Bombshell Blowout Spray and rough-dry to maintain texture.
Next, create horizontal sections following the round of the head, secure each section with an elastic and then create six ponytails in a Mohawk-like manner.
Apply amika Vandal Volume Powder to the base of each ponytail and tease. Once the hair is totally teased, create a French twist and roll the hair to one side of the head. Secure with bobby pins.
To finish, spray amika Headstrong Hairspray all over. (And for added detail, Maggie suggests using a ribbon or accent piece to up the cool factor!)
Finished look—other side.
Takeaway Tip: To eliminate using a lot of small bobby pins, use large roller bobby pins instead—they give a better grip and a tighter hold.
