Brush your hair and gather it into a ponytail that sits low at the back of your head. Secure in place with a strong hair band.
Next, slide the hairband 2.5 to 5cm down your ponytail so that you create a space between your hair band and your scalp.
Push your fingers in above your hairband to make a gap.Don’tpush all the way through; just create a space inside that can hold your hair.
Twist your ponytail up and begin pushing it down into this little space. Continue tucking and rolling your ponytail into the gap.
Once you have all your hair hidden and tucked away, pin it in place with bobby pins or hairpins. Finish with a spritz of hairspray to hold this hairstyle all day and all night!
