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

Now that the back section is braided, it's time to wrap the side pieces around. First backcomb each side section. Then use the pointed end of a rattail comb to sweep down the teased hair. This will make it smooth, while still maintaining the volume. You can also try Engelsen's "air frothing" technique, where you just backcomb lightly over the top layers of hair.
