Look: Ballerina Bun
Step 1: Take a dab of smoothing cream and use it to slick your hair back toward the crown of your head into a ponytail.
Step 2: Secure with a hair tie and then twist your hair into a bun, leaving a one-inch-think strand free (see Step 3). If it's not perfectly in place, pull a few strands around your face and play with the messiness. (You can also use a hair doughnut to make a really fun big bun.)
Step 3: Now braid the one-inch-thick strand of hair. Wrap the braid around the base of your bun and pin into place. Spritz with hair spray and you're done!
