I admit I'm definitely not the queen of stylish and posh hairstyles (my mother is nodding). You will see me with either A. Straight hair, B. Curly hair, or C. A pony tail. Quite the diversity. I have neither the time nor the talent to try out new hair-do's, but upon finding this easy-peasy chignon tutorial on marthastewartweddings.com, I will most definitely be giving this a try if I feel like looking as sassy-classy (I just made that up) as this stunning woman. Have you ever seen red hair and red lipstick look oh so right?
*okay, I am not guaranteeing we will all look as "yes, I actually am this pretty, true story" after constructing this up-do. But gosh darnit girls, we can try.
Step 1:
Using a round brush, blow-dry hair smooth and straight, focusing on the top sections.
Step 2:
Once dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down.
Step 3:
Build height and volume at the crown by teasing hair gently with a fine-tooth comb.
Step 4:
Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go
Step 5
Once you reach your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls, and pin them back over the twist.
Step 6:
Spritz strands in place. Try Frederic Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray, $20, fekkai.com.
Step 7
To add texture, gently curl and scrunch the wispy ends with your fingertips.
Gorgeous!
