Start at the bottom of your head and work your way up the sides.Pull the pick away from your head.Pull the pick at a downward angle when you're doing the bottom of your head.Pull it away from your head when you get to the sides and back.Pull the pick up towards the ceiling when you get to the top.To match the curve of your skull, adjust the angle at which you flick the comb.

Step 7: When you get the look you want, fluff your hair with the pick.

Pick out your hair from front to back.There are sections that look flat or clumped together.The amount of time you do this depends on your level of puffiness.You are ready to go once you are happy with your look.Your hair's natural texture will help maintain the style.
