  2. Apply Aveda Volumizing Tonic™ and divide the hair into three traditional panels. Beginning in the bottom panel, create a hard set of on-base curls.
  
  3. Repeat in the middle and top panels, bricklaying the sections and using on-base curls in the middle panel and off-base curls in the top panel.

  4. When the curls are cooled, remove the pins and brush out gently using a Mason Pearson brush.
  5. Divide the hair into quadrants, creating partings from ear to ear and peak to nape. Create a low ponytail in each quadrant, and secure with a clear hair elastic.
