1. Messy braid: Miley Cyrus (left)
Tips from Angelo David of Angelo David Salon
Step 1: Spray a detangler onto wet hair, followed by the Angelo David Sea Silk Styling Mousse to prepare for styling.
Step 2: Begin blow drying hair by section using a round brush. Then, create a deep side part.
Step 3: Run fingers through hair to create a messy feel, then sweep hair to one side. Take front section of hair and create small loose waves with a curling iron.
Step 4: With the rest, divide hair into two sections. Take a small portion of hair from one side then bring it to the other, repeating this process back and forth. It is okay if hair falls out of the braid or there are knots and bumps-we want the effortless feel.
Step 5: Continue braiding until you reached desired length, then secure the braid with an elastic. Back comb the braid with a brush lightly for a textured look.
Step 6: Finish the look with a great hairspray like L'Oreal Tex Infinium Professional for a firm hold without the stiffness.

Step 2: Run your fingers through the curls raking hair away from the face toward the center of the back of the head.
Step 3: Beginning at the top and working your way down, as you gather the hair together, pin the hair in place. Allow the curls to gently tousle and mist with a touchable holding spray like Sherri Jessee's Shaping Spray.
