Cindy Duplantis, Sam Villa ambassador, Redken artist and celebrity stylist for Chatters Salon, shows how to create the massive bun and bow look.

Step by step:

  1. Create a front section in the fringe area, using a Sam Villa Artist Series 2-in-1 Marcel Iron and Wand 1.5" to curl hair up and away from the face. Secure with a clip to cool. Nail this voluminous bun for your clients.Nail this voluminous bun for your clients.courtesy of @cindyduplantis
  2. Repeat the same sectioning and curling direction until the crown area.
    1. Pull outside sections and curl to give softness.
      1. Mist with a light-hold hairspray.
        1. Once curls have cooled, drop out sections (avoiding fringe section) and brush back to a high ponytail with a Sam Villa Artist Series Finishing Brush and secure with an elastic. 
        2. Pull the elastic away from the head about two inches, create a parting hole and turn the tail up, over and through; then, pull tight.
          1. Gather ponytail together, twist and secure with a Duplantis Hair Official velvet jeweled hair bow.
            1. Drop out the fringe section with desired part. 
              1. Mist finishing spray for hold and shine.
