Sometimes I feel pretty...

I must admit.  Some mornings I wake up and feel like I actually want to spend time making myself look pretty.  Well, I want it to LOOK like I took the time!  Even on mornings like this, I still have to cut corners off the clock, so this is what I do...

It's called the Gibson Tuck

If I'm planning on showering the night before:
The night before...
I shower, towel dry, and then use a couple squirts of Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum on the ends of my hair.  I then run a brush through my hair and go to bed with it wet.

The next morning...
I coat my hair with Suave Heat Protectant, brush through, and then straighten with a flat iron.

If I'm planning on showering the morning of (or I wake up and decide I don't like how my hair looks, which happens more often than not):
I shower, towel dry, and then apply a couple squirts of Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum to the ends of my hair, spray down with Suave Heat Protectant, brush through, and then use a dryer on MEDIUM heat and HIGH speed while using a round brush to pull my hair straight.  I finish with a flat iron.

THEN THE REAL FUN BEGINS!

1. Put your hair in a low ponytail.
2. Pull the ponytail slightly loose and part the top of the ponytail between the holder and your scalp like you're going to do a flipsy ponytail from the early '90s but DON'T PART ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PONYTAIL.
3.  Open up the part you just made creating a "basket" of hair between the holder and your scalp.
4. Roll up your ponytail and stuff it into the "basket" of hair you just made.
5. Pin the ponytail holder to your head.
6. Comb the parted portion to disguise it and finish with a strong hair spray.  I like Pantene Ice Shine for extra control.

Easy as that!

I use it to dress up casual outfits or to finish off professional looks.  So simple!
