Step one: Bodify
If you have fine to normal hair like Preston's, add body by blow-drying damp strands with a thickening lotion (like Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder, $13).

Step two: Texturize
Work a heat-activated texturizing lotion (like Davines Defining Texturizer, $19.99) evenly through hair.

Step three: Curl
Divide hair into two-inch sections and curl each section around a medium curling iron (try Conair Instant Heat 3/4" Curling Iron, $13.99. Once curls are set, lightly brush them out with your fingers.

Step four: Pin up
Separate a one-inch section at the front of your head and create a front-side part (away from the rest of your hair). Pin in place with a bobby pin. Taking the back section, gather hair into a half ponytail and let pieces fall out naturally. Pin in place with bobby pins that point at a 45-degree angle toward the crown of your head. (This keeps the pins in place better.) Use a hair accessory to accent the look if you like. (View our gallery for glamorous inspiration.)
