Make a ponytail

Detangle your hair by using a hairbrush and gather it on your nape to make a low ponytail. Then, tie it with an elastic.

Wrap the elastic

Hide your elastic by taking a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrapping this around the elastic for a sleeker look. Secure with bobby pins and spritz hairspray on this portion to keep it frizz-free and smooth.

Divide and clip

Part your hair into two equal sections. Clip one section so it won’t interfere with the other section while styling.
