THE FRENCH TWIST
BEST FOR: Hair that is chin length or longer
and not layered. All textures.
WHAT YOU NEED: Volumizing spray, comb, small
U-shaped hairpins, bobby pins, maximum-hold hair
spray.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
STEP 1: Spritz the hair with volumizer. Use a
comb to part the hair across the back of the head,
from ear to ear. Gather the top section of hair at
the crown, twist it one time, and secure with
hairpins.
STEP 2: Gather the bottom section of the hair
at the nape of the neck. Twist it in a column
upward, so that the ends stick up.
|
STEP 3: Grasp the
column of hair and tuck it underneath itself in the
direction of the twist. Secure the hair along the
twist with bobby pins. Finish with a misting of hair
spray.
TIP!
If you have bangs, brush them to the side, spraying
with the hair spray as you go, so they become a
seamless part of the twist.

THE DOUBLE
BUN
BEST FOR: Hair that is medium to long and one
length or with long layers. All textures.
WHAT YOU NEED: Smoothing serum, comb, brush,
elastics, hairpins.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
STEP 1: Apply the smoothing serum to damp
hair and blow-dry straight. Use a comb to part the
hair across the back of the head. Brush the top
section back into a ponytail at the crown and secure
with an elastic. Brush the bottom section into a
ponytail at the nap and secure.
STEP 2: Twist the top ponytail several times
and secure it with hairpins to one side of the
bottom elastic.
|
STEP 3: Do the same with the bottom ponytail,
twisting it and pinning it in place on the opposite
side of the top elastic. Pin the hair against the
scalp so that it looks like one uniform bun.
TIP!
If your hair is thick do a triple knot. Section the
hair into three ponytails down the back of the head,
then follow the same twist-and-pin instructions.

THE CASCADE
BEST FOR: Medium to
long hair that is one length or layered. All
textures.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Texturizing spray, one large elastic, large bobby
pins.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
STEP 1: Spritz damp hair with texturizing
spray and let air-dry. Gather the hair loosely into
a ponytail at the crown. Don't pull too tight; you
want the natural texture to show. Secure with an
elastic.
STEP 2: Grab a one-inch section of the
ponytail. Create a loop with the section by bringing
the ends up to the scalp and securing with a bobby
pin. Repeat until all the hair has been looped.
|
STEP 3: To frame your face, gently pull out a
few tendrils. If you have bangs let them hang loose.
TIP!
For very curly or coarse textures, apply deep
conditioner to damp hair at night. Braid your hair
and go to sleep. In the morning you will have soft
waves.

THE SIDE-SWEPT CHIGNON
BEST FOR: Medium to
long hair of one length. All textures
WHAT YOU NEED: Comb,
brush, elastic, hairpins, maximum hold hair spray.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Step 1: Make a side
part with a comb. Brush the hair into a low ponytail
on the same side as the part.
Step 2: Secure the
ponytail behind your ear with an elastic. Twist the
ponytail until it beings to coil around on itself.
Secure the coil around the elastic with hairpins.
|
Step 3: If any front
pieces come loose or you have bangs, sweep them to
the side opposite the coil. Spritz the entire style
with hair spray.
TIP!
If you are right handed make the ponytail on
the right side. It will be easier to pin down the
knot with your dominant hand. If you are left handed
stick to the left side.
