hair how-to: side chignon

You may have seen this hair how-to floating around the blog-world but I couldn't help but share! This is a simple, elegant side chignon. Very classic and super chic.
1.} Start by spraying hair with Tonic Lotion followed by Thickening Hairspray. Use a round brush to blow dry hair smooth. You could also do this style on second-day (or dare I say) third-day hair.
2.} Once completely dry use a large-barrel (around 1"to 1 1/2") to create waves from ears down.
3.} Tease the hair gently at the crown to create volume and height. Spray with Classic Hairspray.
4.} Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go.
5.} Once you've twisted to your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls. Pin them back over the twist.
6.} Finish with Classic Hairspray. Voila!

To get January's hair:

1] On wet hair spray Prep followed by Styling Creme on roots and ends to create volume and hold. Apply a small amount of Defrizz to keep the hair smooth and to avoid flyaways.
2] Part hair on the side and blow dry using a round brush.
3] To accentuate the wave on the top, use a 1 inch curling iron to curl the hair back into pin curls (curl small sections with curling iron and instead of letting the curl fall down, pin the curl with a bobby pin or clip while it cools).
4] Once the curls have cooled brush through them to create volume and shape.
5] Pin the hair back at the center of the head. Finish with Classic Hairspray.
