Steps: 1 to 3

Detangle with the Fingerbrush

Start by gently detangling your hair using the Olivia Garden Fingerbrush Boar & Nylon. Its flexible curved design and mixed bristles smooth the hair, distribute natural oils, and prepare your strands for styling – without breakage or pulling.

Section and Clip the Front Hair

Once your hair is detangled, take two front sections from both sides of your face and clip them away. You’ll curl these later to add soft framing pieces around your face.

Create Loose Curls with a Round Brush

On the remaining hair, create bouncy curls using a round brush — ideally the Olivia Garden Expert Blowout Shine for a glossy finish, or the Expert Blowout Speed if you’re short on time. Work section by section for a natural, voluminous texture.

Steps: 4 to 6

Curl the Front Sections

Unclip the two front strands and curl them as well with the same brush. This ensures your curls are even, defined, and seamlessly blended.

Prepare for the Buns

When all your hair is curled, part it horizontally across the middle of your head. Then divide this top section into two equal parts — one on each side.

Twist and Shape the First Bun

Take one side and gently smooth it with the Fingerbrush Boar & Nylon. Start twisting the strand and wrap it into a small bun. Secure it with a clear elastic and a few bobby pins for hold.

Repeat on the Other side

Brush, twist, and pin into place. You should now have two perfectly balanced buns with soft volume and shape.

Loosen and Define

Once both buns are in place, use your Fingerbrush Boar & Nylon again to softly detangle the curls left loose underneath. This gives your look a natural, effortless finish.

Set the Style

Finish with a lightweight hairspray to lock in your space buns and keep frizz under control.
