Never scratch your scalp because you can cut the skin, making favorable for an assortment of bacteria. In such a case, relieve the itch by swiping the scalp with an astringent-soaked pad or cotton ball, cleansing the scalp of oily buildup while re-energizing your skin.

Rinse your hair twice as long as it took to wash it. Shampoo residue will dry your hair and break it off. Focus conditioning on the ends. They are the oldest part of the hair, and more prone to damage.

Be Patient. Clear all tangles and snarls with the fingers first, then, starting from the bottom, using your wide toothed comb, complete the detangling process. Using an oil lotion at this stage, while the hair is still damp will help keep the hair moisturized and help ease out the tangles.

Four to six usually do it and don't forget to criss-cross the bobby pins if you feel you need a little support in the back of your updo. Take your top piece that's left over and twist very lightly.

 

Once it is secured and you have the desired height you want on the top, pin it down with 2 bobby pins.  Now take each side twist it back to secure on the top building into a pile. Fix your bangs and pull any front hair back that's been left over and secure with a bobby pin.
