- Repeat the drop, pick and twist method all the way to the back and secure it with bobby pins.
- Do the same on the other side.
- Once you're done, set it with a hairspray to secure it in place.
- Finish off with hair accessories to glam up the look.
2. One-sided French braid
- Start by taking an off-centre parting on one side.
- Take a 2-inch section and split that into three halves.
- Do a three-strand braid, where the right goes over the middle and then the left goes over the middle.
- Now take the section from the top and add it in the middle section and braid normally.
- Repeat the same process till the back and secure it with bobby pins.
- Backcomb the front section of the hair to add some volume.
- Use some hairspray to keep your hair in place.

3. Messy wrapped bun
- Begin by taking a middle parting.
- Take a 2-inch section on both sides.
- Now take the rest into a lower ponytail.
- Twist the ponytail and wrap that into a bun.
- Take some U-pins and secure it from all sides.
- It’s absolutely okay if it's left a little messy.
- Now take the front section, twist it and secure it right at the back.
- Repeat the same on the other side.
- Finish this look by adding some hair accessories right above the bun.
