Tools and materials:

  • Leave-in conditioner
  • Hair ties
  • Bobby pins
Applying leave-in conditioner

1. Apply leave-in conditioner

Smooth your hair down with leave-in conditioner.


This will relieve some of the frizz and flyaways without adding extra grease with gel or pomade.


Apply the conditioner to the rest of your hair as well.

Putting hair into low quarter-bun

2. Put your hair into a low quarter-bun

Put your hair into a low ponytail.


Instead of finishing the last wrap of the hair tie, pull the hair only a quarter of the way through to create a small bun.

Splitting ponytail

3. Split the ponytail into two

Split the tail of the ponytail into two sections.

Twisting hair

4. Twist each section

Loosely twist each section of the split ponytail.

Tying the twists together

5. Tie together the twists

Tie together the two twists near the crown of your head with a clear rubber band.

Wrapping the twists

6. Wrap the twists around the bun

Turn the twists into a figure 8 and wrap the top half around the bun. 

Pinning the tail

7. Pin the tail

Tighten the tail and then pin it underneath the bun to hide it.
