Step 1: Smooth a pea-size dab of glossing cream over dry hair. “It helps encourage the clumpy look, like Jessica’s,” LeCompte says. (Try Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream with Pure Olive Oil, $20.)

Step 2: Use a 1-inch flat iron and wrap sections of hair around the iron’s plates. Do this from the top of your head down, but leave the last two inches un-ironed. Wrap your whole head, twisting the iron away from your face. You’ll have that beachy, not-perfect look.

Step 3: Create that chunky look using a smear of a matte-texture styling paste. (Try Badass Hair Purpose Fiber Paste, $24.)
