This is such a cool way to play up a simple bun, or even a ponytail. It totally jazzes up your look, and it looks gorgeous with a pop of color (whether it’s your red lipstick, your bright outfit or a fun hair accessory).

How to get the look:

1. Apply styling gel and comb through until your hair looks shiny and sleek.

2. Take a 2-inch section of hair from one side of your head and bring it over to the other side, creating a side part.

3. Take a piece of hair from above the same ear and twist it back, aiming toward the opposite ear.

4. Once you reach the nape of your neck, gather the rest of your hair into a ponytail, adding the twist to the rest of your hair.

5. Twist the pony into a tight ballerina bun, securing it down with bobby pins.
