Begin by separating your hair into a half up half down. Take the remaining "down" hair and split it evenly into two sections.

Curl your hair away from your face, the pieces about 1 inch thick. I was going for a natural look and the thicker the hair the looser the curls will be. Experiment to find what you like best.

Now take the last section down and tease with a brush. I didn't make my "bump" very big, but again, it's up to you. Then, secure again.
