1. Start by washing your hair with a good qualtiy shampoo and conditioner of your choice!
2. If you would like to use products i recommend using a curl enhancer.
3. Either air dry or blow dry your hair, the whole concept is to have it dry, and if you blow dry it try to have it blow dried straight.
4. Take a 1 1/2 to 2 inch curling iron and start curling your hair from your eyes down.
5.Sweep your bangs to the side, or if you don’t have any, just take a front portion of hair and part it to one side (this will give you a “fringe” look, like AJ)
6. It is optional to add some hairspray while curling 7. Tie you hair up into a high loose ponytail.
8. Take a cute skinny headband like AJ’s and put that onto your hair.
9. After everything is in place start making the top of your hair messy by pulling bits of hair out of the neat ponytail (we need to see the transformation from neat to messy)
10. Add some hairspray and ENJOY ;]

alternative

1. Wash and conditon your hair.
2. Part your hair slightly to one side. 3. There are 2 ways to do this next step:
1st way- Spray your hair with water with sea salt and let dry. Don't do your bangs
2nd way- Take a curling iron and make slight waves and DO NOT touch your bangs.
4. Take a head band to hold your hair back. Make sure your bangs are still loose.
5. To get the lift AJ has, take a few bobby pins and pin some of your hair up until you feel like your hair has enough lift.
6. (optional) Spray with hairspray to finish it off!, First off I love your site, but I was wondering if you had ever thought of making a top donors page. Not that you have to, because you put the credit on the page the guide is on, just wondering. Hope you like the guides!
