STEPS
Start with hair that is midlength and slightly wavy.
Divide the hair into four sections—one section on each side, a Mohawk section and a section in the back.
Release the Mohawk and back sections, and heavily backcomb all of the hair.
Add texture to the hair with a spray wax like Style Sexy Hair Play Dirty Dry Wax Spray, working it in.

Begin at the hairline, and create a French braid down the back of the head. Braid loosely to maintain volume.
Roll the braid up and under, and hide the ends by tucking them away. Secure with bobby pins.
Gently pull at sections of the braid for a messy effect. Add more spray wax if more texture if desired.
Create a standard, three-strand braid on the first side section.
Wrap the braid low and tight around the back of the head, and secure the ends with bobby pins.
Repeat on the opposite side, joining the ends of the braids, the spray with Kenra Volume Spray 25 to lock the look in place.
