Baby hairs should be pulled back to create a sleek look.
First, you need to part your hair in the middle and prep it with pomade or gel to make sure that there will be no stray baby hairs. Next, do a half ponytail. Then, gather your remaining loose hair and put them up using bobby pins. Put your loose ponytail into a bun and you’re done!

There’s an easier, faster way to do it.
If you’re strapped for time, another version suggests pulling your hair back into a ponytail right away and just pinning any loose strands. Put your ponytail into a bun and that’s it.

Curly-haired gals can wait a few days after wash day to create this hairdo.
For those who have thick and curly hair, it’s recommended to do this hairstyle on “week-old” hair so there will be enough moisture to hold your locks in place. Others opt to not pin up the front tendrils for a more carefree take.
It’s undoubtedly a fun look! Will you be trying it?
