Start with second-day hair.
Hair that is a little dirty (a.k.a you haven’t had time to wash it while prepping for the busy holiday season) is the perfect base for this updo hairstyle. Your hair will be less slippery and it will be a lot easier to secure it in place.
Refresh your hair.
This product is a girl’s best friend for a reason. Spray your hair with some Dove Detox + Purify Dry Shampoo. It’ll work to cleanse and refresh your strands in seconds and prep you for the Gibson girl hair.
Create a side part.
A deep side part adds a lot of character to a simple updo like this one. Use a rat-tail comb to create a side part on whichever side of your head feels more comfortable. Editors’ tip: Switching to the opposite side from where you usually part your hair will add some instant volume.
Apply some serum.
Smooth out your hair with a drop of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum. This will help to tame any frizz or flyaways in your Gibson girl hair look.

Create twists.
Twist two strands of your hair from the front of your hairline, towards the back of your head.
Pin your hair in place.
Using two bobby pins in a criss-cross X shape, pin the twist to the back of your head. Repeat steps five and six on the other side of your head. The Gibson girl hair has begun.
Gather your hair.
Gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail that sits just above the nape of your neck.
Pull your hair through.
Use your fingers to create a small hole above your hair tie. Then, flip the rest of your hair through this newly formed hole.
Gently tuck it in.
Flip the ponytail up and push it inside the hole to make sure that all the loose ends are tucked in. Your Gibson girl hair is almost complete!
Lock in your style.
Lock in your awesome new Gibson girl hair tuck with a mist of Suave Dry Texture Finishing Spray.
Ta-da- you're done!
And there you have it: a Gibson girl hair updo that took around 10 minutes to create. You can also finish with an extra hold hairspray, like TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hairspray, for more flyaway control. The more you practice, the faster you’ll be at creating this hairstyle that’s sure to become your next go-to hairstyle.
How easy is that? Now, you know how to create the Gibson girl hair tuck!
