Part French, All Fabulous If the "Twilight" movie phenomenon taught us beauty junkies anything, it's that gorgeous hair is expected of its leading ladies. Kristen Stewart surprised us with trend-worthy, intricate updos and Ashley Greene showed us just how glam tousled waves can be. Nikki Reed showed up with this gorgeous, swept-away braid at the 22nd Annual MuchMusic Video Awards. Steal her style with this step-by-step guide to her voluminous French braided chignon.
1. Apply a texturizing serum, like Frederic Fekkai COIFF Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel, $25, throughout your hair from roots to tips. Scrunch your fingers through your hair to diffuse the product and create texture.
2. Create a deep side part, then separate a 3-inch section of your hair from your part to the top of your ear. Clip the back portion out of the way as necessary.
3. Loosely French braid this section from the part, along the perimeter of your hair, and down to your ear. Once you reach your ear, braid the rest of this hair as usual and clip to the side.
4. Gather the rest of your hair, including the braided section, into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Tease the ponytail ends gently, and then wrap the ponytail around the base of your elastic to form a bun.
5. Finish by misting with hairspray, like Pantene Pro-V Classic Care Touchable Hairspray, $8.99.
