Note: Thanks to Britny for this!

01. Wash and condition your hair (optional, but, recommended).

02. Dry using your choice of method (air drying is best for your hair if you have the time).

03. Roughly straighten your hair (Ashley's is slightly wavy).

04. Separate your fringe/bangs and clip them out of the way.

05. Brush your hair together (covering the natural part) and up into a high ponytail, but, don't pull the ponytail all the way through so it forms a sloppy half-bun with a little chunk sticking out the bottom (you can make this as short or long as you like).

06. Un-clip your bangs/fringe and comb them back and clip into place forming a quiff.

07. [Optional] Spray a light misty coating of hairspray and enjoy! additional: If your hair is a little dull (like mine can be sometimes), before styling, I like to brush some sort of shine product through my hair.

Tip: If your hair is naturally pin-straight, you can use a product to make it wavy like Ashley's. My personal favorite is Sunsilk Waves of Envy. They offer 2 products. To achieve these tousled, beachy waves, I would recommend the spray product. The gel creates more glamorous red-carpet style waves.
