What is exactly the second kick in butterfly?

I'm learning to swim butterfly but i've difficulties with the dolphin kick%3A i'm very slow. I've heard that using a second kick enables to swim faster. However, does this second kick go from the hips or from the knees? I mean, is that like a second full undulation? Thanks in advance for your answer.
