Tutorial: How to Create A Messy Chignon from the Runway

The key to this messy chignon is volume. Use a hair care system that will give your hair body and bounce.

Step 1: Wash your hair.

To create the look, Gilbert started off with freshly washed hair using the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Reverse Wash system. When using the system at home begin with TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-Wash Conditioner then follow up with TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo to remove the weight and give hair body and bounce.

Step 2: Blow-dry your hair.

Before beginning the blowdrying process, the models’ hair was prepped with TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Mousse to create a soft and natural base. When applying this product through your hair, work it from root to tip with your fingers for even distribution. Next, apply a finger tip amount of TRESemmé Beauty- Full Volume Maximizer to give the hair body and control.

Step 3: Create bun and lock in the style.

To create the messy chignon, softly brush hair back into a ponytail. Twist the ends into an undone bun and secure with bobby pins. Finalize with TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hairspray to lock the look in.
