   Then section off from the parting down to the ear on each side.
   
   Put those two sections together to make one front section.
   
   Tie back the rest of your hair into a rear ponytail

   Then, continue twisting and winding the section of hair around itself, back towards your head.
   
   Secure it in the same way you do a bun, with a mini-scrunchie around the base.,,, Twist each section of hair as described above.,, Believe me, it's worth it.,, Remove the band, untwist it a little and comb out your curls with a wide toothed comb., Spray with a strong hairspray.
   
   Flip your hair up and part it/arrange it.
   
   Then give it another good spray, lifting sections to really get a hold and volume., This is good, it will settle and look great all day.,
