Does anyone have any tips or advice on achieving this look? I love it, and I'm probably overthinking things. I'll be practicing this weekend, but thought I'd get some advice to practice with. TIA!

Okay, I have no idea what is wrong. I guess we can't add attachments currently?

Can you describe it? Is it a combed texture?
