GET THE LOOK:

1. Start by pulling hair into a low ponytail.

2.  Next, make a “nest” for your hair by sliding the ponytail holder about an inch or an inch and a half down the ponytail, just enough to loosen it up.

3. Separate your hair right above the ponytail holder.

4. Next, roll up your hair. To make ponytail easy to tuck into nest, use your index finger as a form to roll the ponytail up into a ball.

5. The next step is to take the ponytail ball you have wrapped around your finger and tuck it into the nest.

6. Push down the ponytail holder to make sure the hair is all tucked in then start pinning. It takes about two or three bobby pins placed close to the ponytail holder to secure hair all day.

7. Once your bun is pinned in place, use a fine toothcomb to gently comb together the hair that parted when you made the nest.

8. This style can be embellished with a headband, bows or clips. When finished, spritz with Rene Furterer Vegetal Styling finishing spray. This style can be achieved with either fine or thick hair it just must be long.
