DIY: Part your hair to one side after brushing it thoroughly. Create two sections: section 1 – about 6” thick from the front of the hair until right behind the right ear. The rest of the hair is section 2. Pin section one first to get it out of the way. Gather section 2 loosely into a low ponytail and secure with elastic. Twist the ends into a big knot and secure with pins. Unclip section 1, smoothen it out then wrap it around the knot and put pins to hold it. Spritz hairspray all over to set the coif.
