It starts with a part set hard to one side, then the hair is flipped over it so the roots on the heavy side stand up instead of lying down. Volume ends up concentrated high and to one side, with the lighter side often tucked behind the ear. Getting it to stay usually means drying with the head flipped over, or parting on the opposite side to the one you sweep toward so the roots resist.
