    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Shampoo
    • Conditioner
    • Towel
    • Blow dryer
    • Fine-tooth comb
    • Brush
    • Styling gel
    • Hair spray
    • Flat iron
    • Hairpins
    • Hair bands
      • 1

        Start by washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Dry your hair thoroughly with a towel, then blow it dry.

      • 2

        Using your flat iron, straighten the upper part of your hair. This is an essential preparation; it makes your hair look clean and not wavy, and it will make it easier to pull your hair back.

      • 3

        Brush back your hair, then apply a firm-hold hair gel to the top and sides of your hair.

      • 4

        Pull your hair up in a tight ponytail; then spray the front, sides and back of your hair with a firm-hold spray.

      • 5

        Tease the bottom part of the ponytail with a fine-tooth comb to give it more body.

      • 6

        Pull up close to the hair band and wrap around on top of the head creating a mini beehive. Put hairpins all around to secure your bun in place.

      • 7

        Go around and spray to smooth out all the fly aways and to keep the bun firm.

      • 8

        You can add embellishments by adding accessories such as pins with flower designs or add a lovely simple tiara on top.
