Of course, there are a bunch of great products out there to help you achieve your desired look, but step one is actually so simple and requires no extra maintenance.

Ok, here's the magic step! When you're washing your hair, do NOT condition your roots. Yep, you heard right. Do not put any hair conditioner in your roots if your hair is on the finer side.
