Paris Fashion Week, at DIOR the Chignon is Chic! #FashionWeek

By: Alison Blackman

 

One of these days, I’ll get to Paris Fashion Week, but until then, it’s my pleasure to bring you an elegant chignon, created by the super-talented Guido Palau . This elegant, timeless look is always in fashion. Here is how Guido accomplished it, using REDKEN products.

Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a modern hairstyle for Dior that relied heavily on three key products: shine flash 02 glistening mist, hardwear 16 super strong gel, and control addict 28 high control hairspray. The sleek chignon was coated, combed and sprayed to create an almost sculptural finish to the hair.

“The hair this season is without reference. It isn’t from a particular era, which I love because it makes the look feel instantly modern and fresh. The style is chic, beautiful and a bit boyish. It is a classic Dior look.”   –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

 

Redken Products Used:

–shine flash 02 glistening mist

–hardwear 16 super strong gel

–control addict 28 high control hairspray

 

  Create the Look:

  1. Apply hardwear 16 super strong gel on the hairline
  2. Comb through and create a clean left side part
  3. Blow dry with round brush, lifting right side up and back to get a little bit of height
  4. Comb through again and gather hair into a low ponytail, securing with a hair tie
  5. Comb hardwear 16 super strong gel through ponytail with a fine toothed comb and apply shine flash 02 glistening mist all over
  6. Twist ponytail from base to ends and twist up into a low chignon
  7. Pin all around chignon
  8. Finish with control addict 28 high control hairspray for a strong hold
