Now it's time to really get your hair pulled back. Use a hairbrush with which you can comb everything smoothly to the back and then put in an elastic. A good gel is a black for the slicked-back bun. The gel will keep your hair in place all day long, no matter how thick or heavy it is. Be careful though: choose a gel that doesn't suffocate your hair, because your scalp needs to breathe. The Eco Styler Gel is a good option for this.

Take a generous amount of gel, spread it between your fingers and apply it to your hair. Once you have applied the gel well, take out your elastic, comb your hair back with the brush and re-pin for that ultimate sleek look cool. After this you can choose to make a bun or braid from the tail.
