Marcus Francis, Suave Professionals celebrity stylist, reveals four steps to create a textured bun that's simple to master and chic to behold.

1. Part dry hair on the side or down the middle, then mist with dry shampoo from midlength to ends to give hair some grip.

2. Pull hair back into a low ponytail and secure with a coated elastic.

3. Wrap the ponytail around the base, pinning it as you go. Pinning the hair in segments, instead of all at once, will give the bun more hold. Use hairpins—not bobby pins, which can shred your style if you need to readjust.

4. Pull out a few strands around your face for a bohemian, romantic effect. Finish with a quick overall mist of hairspray.
