POMPADOUR BUN:
STEP #1: Start with damp hair and give it lift with a volumizing blowout.
STEP #2: Prep hair with Kerastase Nectar Thermique to protect and nourish the hair.
STEP #3: Next, curl small sections of hair with a 1 inch curling iron. Make sure the front pieces are curled backward to give the hair lift.
STEP #4: Comb through the curls with your fingers to make them soft and loose.
STEP #5: Starting at the crown, tease sections of hair as you move toward the front of the head.
STEP #6: Next, pull hair into a loose ponytail in the middle of your head. Secure with hair elastic.
STEP #7: Lightly tease the ponytail before loosely wrapping it around the elastic. Secure with bobby pins.
STEP #8: Finish it off by spritzing your hair with Kerastase Laquer Couture hairspray to maintain the texture.



SUPER SLEEK LOW CHIGNON
STEP 1: Start with straight, dry hair or straighten with flat iron if you have a more wavy texture.
STEP 2: Prep hair with Kerastase Cristalliste Cristal Sculpt spray to make hair easy to work with.
STEP 3: Next, create a deep side part on one side and smooth hair over the top of the head using a thin toothed comb.
STEP 4: Tease hair at the back of your head with a small comb as well the hair closest to the part to ensure volume at the roots.
STEP 5: Pull hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck and leave the front pieces free.
Tip: Smooth Kerastase Nectar Thermique through your ponytail to protect and nourish hair.
STEP 6: Next, smooth the front pieces to the side and wrap the ends around the elastic. Secure with a bobby pin.
STEP 7: Slowly wrap the hair around the elastic and secure with bobby pins as you go.
STEP 8: Finish it off with Kerastase Laque Couture hairspray to ensure a long lasting look!
