Anytime USC sophomore sensation JuJu Watkins takes the floor, it's hard to miss her signature high ponytail shaped into a bun. You might wonder how it ALWAYS looks so crisp without a hair out of place.

Here's the answer: Her mom still does it for her every game.

This is what JuJu recently said when asked why her mom does her hair:

"The fact that everybody's gonna know my mom does my hair after this...like, I'm getting so much backlash. Listen, this is all I'm gonna say: I'm working on it. I'm trying to get it like that. This woman has 18 years of experience. So, please. Relax. Chill on me for a second."

It's hard to replicate something that has CLEARLY been perfected with an ironclad process. So, her (not so) secret is safe with us. But we can't wait for JuJu to try it on her own. We know the results would be tremendous.
