Step 1:
First, start with wet hair. (Right out of the shower will do). Run a bit of shine crème through your strands while brushing them back.
Step 2:
Next, pin the top third of your hair into a temporary topknot.
Step 3:
Use a styling mousse to slick back the sides of your hair. Use a brush to flatten any strays before securing each side with crisscrossed bobby pins.
Step 4:
Take down the topknot and smooth your hair down and back for a sleek, humidity-proof hairdo. Voilá.
