To achieve this, Diaz incorporated brightly colored and floral-patterned pieces of fabric by weaving it into the hair. Read on to learn how to get this look at home!

– Diaz began by spraying the hair with Davines For Wizards No. 14 Sea Salt Primer ($31.00). This gave it a great textured, gritty look and made the hair easy to work with.

– He then parted the hair in three vertical sections; two small sections at either side of the head and one larger section in the back.

– Next, the hair on each side was worked into a traditional braid, while a piece of fabric was weaved throughout. Diaz used the extra fabric left at the end of the braid to tie the two pieces together at the top of the head positioned to resemble a crown.
