Once you've got your hair into a nice little mess on top, it's time to smooth it out.
Using a comb, lightly comb over the top of your hair until the top is as smooth as you'd like it to be. At the same time, you can begin gathering the sides back into a loose ponytail.
At this time, you may find that you didn't back comb the hair enough during the previous step. If that's the case, just start over and tease a little more before you smooth it out.
