Spring 2011: Braided Chignons

1. Prep damp hair with leaving conditioner for smoothness. Use a fine-tooth comb to create a clean center part and then blow dry straight using a Mason Pearson brush.

2. Brush hair back tightly and secure into a high ponytail below the crown—at the back of the head—using an elastic. Spray with Hair Spray for shine and light hold.

3. Braid the ponytail. Gently massage braid with fingers for texture and spray with Firm Hold Hair Spray for maximum hold.

4. Attach a black taffeta headband around the base of the braid, at the crown of the head, and secure with hairpins.

5. Fold the braid in half and loop upward to create a vertical, braided chignon. Secure against the head with hairpins. Set the look with Firm Hold Hair Spray.
