Get the Inside-Out Braid Right Off the Mara Hoffman Runway

You want to divide your hair into three sections: two in front and one larger section behind the ears. From there, wrap hair around a large, one-inch barrel curling wand in big sections. How do you know when it's time to let go? "Wait until the thickest amount of hair gets hot, otherwise it's not going to curl," Engelsen explained.

To create more texture, curl sections in opposite directions, and make sure the hair is completely cool before you continue or the waves won't last. This is one occasion where you can totally skip hair spray because the finished look is meant to be soft.
