It is summer and for lots of us that means the weather is brutally hot. Here is a styling tip from AVEDA to give yourself a classy looking ballerina bun so you can keep your hair off your neck to stay as cool as you possibly can while still looking stylish!
HOW TO: Get the Look from Frank Rizzieri, Aveda Guest Artist
Step 1: Spritz hair with Pure Abundance? Style Prep? to give volume and thickness in preparation for the hair to hold the finished style.
Step 2: Blow dry hair straight to help expand the volume while also creating sleekness; add a light mist of Brilliant? Spray-On Shine for a touch of sheen.
Step 3: Create a solid center part before pulling hair tightly back into a ponytail that rests just above the nape of the neck, but below the center of the head; firmly secure with a bungee cord elastic.
Step 4: Taking two sections from the ponytail begin to strongly knot the sections tightly doing this continuously until the end of the ponytail.
Step 5: Coil the knotted sections up into the base of the ponytail letting random pieces poke out for a sculptured look and added detail. Secure the knotted bun with pins until it is tight to the head.
Step 6: Apply Air Control? Hair Spray onto a small bristled brush and gently use on the top of the head toward the bun to smooth flyaways.
I find their hair spray is so nice at keeping things at place but without the greasy look or weighing my hair down. The Spray on shine is ridiculously good at keeping away frizz and I seem to have crazy frizzy hair! I like it on a daily basis putting it on as I am leaving the house.
