tutorial: the perfect modern chignon

One of the hottest runway looks during STYLE360’s Gudnitz Couture presentation during fashion week was a fabulous modern take on the classic chignon. How gorgeous is this:

Luckily, I've snagged this fantastic turtorial from Sebastian lead stylist Michelle Catralanello on how to create this amazing look on our own.

  1. Subdivide the back and front of your hair, parting just behind the ear.
  2. Secure the back section in a ponytail with rubberband.
  3. Curl ponytail with a curling iron and then tease the hair up a bit.
  4. Create an exaggerated chignon, by twisting hair up and pinning back up with bobbi pins. (use Sebastian’s microweb fiber to hold the chignon in place.)
  5. Take the front section of your hair and twist, add Sebastian reshaper hairspray .
  6. Cross section over back and pin to add a modern looking texture.
