You know I'm going to comment on Kim Kardashian's wedding and while I have a ton of opinions (gaudy version a royal wedding anyone?) the biggest surprise to me was that she pulled her hair back in a bun! I expected to be distracted by her gorgeously layered extensions, but instead she allowed for her facial features and a diamond head piece to take center stage. I spoke with NYC stylist, Fabian Lliguin, on how to create the chic chignon.
First, add a styling cream like Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme onto damp hair for control and blow dry it in the direction you want your hair to end up, straight back. Comb your hair straight back and secure it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Use a comb to tease underneath the pony tail in sections and spritz a working hairspray as you build volume with the tease. This is key to creating the look. Smooth hair down over the height and work it around the elastic into a bun. Tuck it under the nape of the neck and secure with bobby pins.
