Hi there and thanks for the compliment . Its all my puff - three years of growing it out from the cut in the avatar. I actually got the idea from sereca. I smooth the front out with get while it's still wet out the shower and tie it down. Then I let it air dry to 80% and push it back with a headband as the ponytail holder. I pin the pony tail holder in place so it doesnt slip back and hit my roots real quick with a blow dryer. The result is what you see in the picture. Pressed out I think i'm close to bsl, but i think you can get this full look with almost any length. Hope that helps and feel free to PM me with any questions.
