To best complement the dress, “I thought the hair should be sleek and sharp with a regal element to it. I decided on a sharp middle part and large twisted glossy chignon”, says Christian.
Get the Look:
1. Start by applying Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Light Luminous Reflective Oil ($40.00) to wet hair. Blow dry smooth section-by-section using the ghd air® Hairdryer ($199) and a round brush.
2. Once dry, part the hair in the middle using a pintail comb. Then, run the ghd gold® professional styler ($199) over the top layer of the hair to achieve an extra shiny, smooth base for pulling the hair back.
3. Brush the hair into a low ponytail and spritz with Wella Professionals EIMI Stay Firm Hairspray ($18.00) while brushing to remove flyways and add hold. Secure the ponytail with an elastic band.
4. Using a ghd curve® soft curl iron ($199), curl a few sections of hair to add a loose wave to the ponytail. “This helps when pining the hair into a chignon giving you more manageability when styling”, says Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Ambassador Christian Wood.
5. Wrap the ponytail around the ponytail’s base in a circular motion, pinning with large hairpins as you go to create a large sleek chignon. Mist with Wella Professionals EIMI Stay Firm Hairspray ($18.00) for extra hold.
6. Spray the entire head with Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist ($19.50) to add extra shine to the entire look.
7. Finish by applying a small amount of Wella Professionals EIMI Sculpt Force ($18.00) to your fingertips and smooth over any fly-a-ways “This technique helps give a super sleek result without overloading on product”, says Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Ambassador Christian Wood.
