The Chic Chignon
- Evenly disperse Giovanni 2chic Ultra-Volume Foam Styling Mousse on wet hair and then blow-dry. For extra volume, backcomb the hair at the crown and gently comb down to smooth out the look without losing volume.
- Pull hair into a low ponytail, securing it with a clear elastic. Wrap the hair around the base of the ponytail, securing it with pins or decorative clips for an extra festive touch. To frame the face, strategically pull a few pieces of hair from the ponytail at the sides.
- Secure the look with Giovanni LA Hold Hair Spritz to prevent flyaways—especially key during the winter months.
- For a glossy finish that’s never greasy, complete the look with Giovanni Shine of the Times High Gloss Hair Mist.
Classic Hollywood Waves
- Start by evenly distributing Giovanni Frizz Be Gone to wet hair before blowing it completely dry.
- Depending on the length of the hair, use a 1 or 2-inch curling iron to curl the entire head, alternating curling the hair away from and towards the face. Lightly pin the curls until they are completely cooled off, which typically takes around 15 minutes.
- Gently brush through the curls with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Finish the look with Giovanni LA Hold Hair Spritz to keep the curls in place all night.
