Prep: Prep your second day hair by applying a good hair mousse to reduce frizz and for a better hold. Detangle your hair with a comb or use your fingers.

Style: Begin with parting your hair into two sections. Start by braiding your right section hair into a regular braid directly over the ear. Braid as low as you can and secure the braid with an elastic. Gently loosen the braids with your fingers and fluff it up. Bring the braid across your head and set it in place using bobby pins. Then repeat the same process on the left section of your hair.

Prep: Wash, condition and blow-dry your hair to stretch the curls to get a sleeker look. Apply a good leave-in conditioner and detangle your hair.

Style: Start by applying an Argan oil based hair gel to your front hair and edges for a sleek look and make the hair stay in place. Comb your hair using a soft bristle brush and ensure that the product settles. Once your hair is all smoothed out pull your hair upwards and secure it with a scrunchie. Since placement of the bun is key in this look, make sure that you make your bun sit on top of your head. Wrap your ponytail around the bun and secure it with bobby pins.
