When it comes to the slicked-back bun, model Molly Sims is somewhat of an expert. As an entrepreneur, SI Swimsuit legend and mom of three, she’s busy, and the simple, sleek slicked-back look is the perfect complement to a packed schedule.

And thankfully for us, Sims is more than willing to walk through her process. Earlier this week, she took to Instagram to share how she achieves “a perfect slicked-back bun look.”

Her process looks something like this:

1. Part your hair down the middle
2. Brush out any bumps
3. Use a color brush to apply Kenra Professional Texturizing Taffy 13
4. Use hair brush to pull hair back to desired position and tie tightly
5. Apply more Texturizing Taffy 13 to ponytail
6. Twist ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins
7. Finish with Kenra Professional Dry Texture Spray 6

For Sims, the two Kenra Professional products are non-negotiables. In order to achieve the perfect slicked-back bun, consider investing in the following two items.
