The bump in the middle of a ponytail is one. I am african american have a perm with thick medium length hair about to my shoulders



I need verrrrrryyyy detailed instructions on how to do that temporary faux hawk hairstyle?

1. Apply a volumizing styling product on damp hair, from roots to ends, and blow-dry hair back, away from your face.



2. Using the tail of a fine-tooth comb, section a rectangular shape on the top of your head, from about the outer corners of your eyes, back to the crown.



3. Using a flat bristle brush such as a Mason Pearson brush, brush the nonsectioned hair back into a smooth, tight high ponytail. For more hold and great shine, apply a medium-hold hairspray. For a softer, more natural finish with no flyaways, use a smoothing serum. Secure hair into an elastic just below the crown.



4. You can leave the top, sectioned piece smooth or piece-y, but volume is key. Using your fine-tooth comb, take sections across the top and backcomb the roots at about two to three inches from the scalp.



5. Lightly mist the top with hairspray and, using your brush, smooth your hair back. Make sure that the backcombed hair is smooth on the surface so there's no evidence of backcombing. Push the entire section forward to achieve your desired shape. If your hair is long enough, wrap the ends of this section around the ponytail band and secure with bobby pins. Otherwise, tuck the ends of your hair in toward the ponytail and secure with bobby pins.
