In honor of Throwback Thursday (#TBT), we're going way back to 2008 and these lovely, chic chignons created by hairstylist Guido for Ralph Lauren's 40th Anniversary runway show. Recreate the look - which works just as well for today as it did 7 years ago - with the how-to below!
Get the Look:
1. Spray Redken pillow proof blow dry express primer all over damp hair and comb through.
2. While hair is still damp, apply 4–5 pumps of Redken’s new glow dry style-enhancing blow-dry oil from roots to ends.
3. Blow-dry hair smooth using a flat brush.
4. Gather hair into a smooth, low ponytail, securing at the base of the head with an elastic.
5. Apply a nickel-size amount of Redken braid aid 08 braid defining lotion throughout the length of the ponytail.
6. Twist the length of the hair into a knot, twist or braided chignon and secure with small hair pins.
7. Using fingers, gently apply 2–3 more pumps of glow dry style-enhancing blow-dry oil on roots for extra shine.
8. Finish with a thorough mist of Redken control addict 28 high control hairspray for extra hold.
9. Place desired headpiece, hat or accessory on head and secure with small hair pins if necessary.
