So, we don't want to say that R29 is anti-preppiness. But, you know, you might notice that there aren't a ton of polo shirts and Bermuda shorts around these parts. What we do love? A super cool, Buddy Holly spin on classic '50s greaser style. Which, obviously, is a look that our main hair man, Michael Dueñas, knows a thing or two about. (Could he be any more adorable?)

So, to help our producer Jem get in touch with her inner slickster, Dueñas gave her the step-by-step on giving her curly pixie a totally sleek makeover. Using just a blow dryer, a comb, and a couple of key products, you too can rock this look in a snap. (We think John Travolta would approve, natch.) Tune in to learn how to totally transform your short 'do!

00:05Primpt and preppy.
00:07Primpt and preppy.
00:08Wow.
00:12Today we're getting primpt and preppy.
00:16Begin by wetting your hair.
00:18Apply a styling cream to take out volume and add control.
00:23Once you have a styling cream evenly distributed,
00:25take your brush and blow dry your hair all one direction
00:28until it's about 70% dry.
00:30Then, blow dry the opposite direction to flatten out all volume
00:34and smooth out the hair.
00:35Once you have smoothed your hair down,
00:37use the cool shot button on your blow dryer
00:39and give your hair a once over.
00:40This will close the cuticle and add more sheen.
00:44Take a natural finish pomade
00:45and rake it through the front of your hair
00:46to create some texture and put in a nice soft wave.
00:50Feel free to use a comb as well to add more definition.
00:55And there you have it.
00:56A smart and sharp look for the new year.
00:59Ah!
