Hair How To: separate the hair into 1.5inch sections either side of the parting and tie remainder into a low knotted bun at the nape of the neck. Keep hair super sleek, glossy. Using irons create soft, feminine S-Waves that gently flatter the hairline. Take the S Waves around the back of the hair and grip them into the bun
