Rachael Kirkconnell is finally revealing how she styles her signature slick-back hairdos.
“I always start with some sort of styling cream or wax,” Kirkconell, 28, shared via TikTok on Monday, April 7, holding up the L’Oréal Paris Elnett Slick Back Cream.
First, the Bachelor Nation star coated her brunette tresses with the cream and managed the product through her roots and on her part. She then gathered her locks and held them back as she ran a comb through her mane. “I start at the back and comb all the way through,” she said, taming the sides of her hair.
“This part does not need to be perfect because we’re going to fix it in a second,” she added, securing her hair into a messy bun.
Kirkconnell then sealed her look in with more cream before reaching for a bristle brush and smoothing down “all the lumps and bumps.”

Next, she removed her hair elastic to smooth out “all the bumps” as she brushed toward the back of her head.
“We’re gonna tie her up and see how she looks,” Kirkconnell said as she spun around and gave the camera a view of her smooth ponytail.
“Then, I will take another hair tie and twist my hair and do one of those [buns] and call it a day,” she noted. Kirkconnell also suggested that fans use a bobby pin to secure any loose hairs in their bun if they want it to look even neater.
She completed her look by adding a bit more of the styling cream to her flyaways to prevent them from popping back up. Kirkconnell used a bamboo toothbrush to create a flawless finish from every angle.
Voilà! A perfect bun in minutes.
