1.
Apply VO5 Extra Body Mousse to towel-dry hair and blow dry using a diffuser. Separate into sections and lightly back comb.
2.
Gather your hair to the back left, leaving a section across the front free. Secure the gathered hair with a line of pins down the centre at the back.
3.
Smoothly roll the gathered hair into the centre and pin in place to create the vertical pleat. Hold with VO5 Extra Hold Hairspray.
4.
Sweep your remaining hair from the front across to the right and back, curve and blend into the top of the pleat and secure with pins, again holding with VO5 Firm Hold Pump Hairspray.
