How to rock…victory rolls

1. Section off the front of your hair and tie the rest back so it’s out of the way.

5. Take the rest of your hair down and separate the front section on each side.

6. Buckbrush like before.

2. Take the end up into a flick, keeping it curved and not too big to get that retro look.
