On the evening of May 7th the world’s top fashion icons strutted their stuff at The Costume Institute Gala (a.k.a the Met Ball) inside New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Arts. Elizabeth Banks, actress and recent co-star of the hit movie The Hunger Games, sported a voluminous chignon styled by Thomas Dunkin for Sebastian Professional. Want to know how he created this chic look? Just follow the 6 easy steps below!
1) Apply a generous amount of Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray to the roots of the hair and a liberal amount of Sebastian Professional Potion 9 to the lengths of the hair.
2) Blow-dry the hair with a round brush and put each section into pin curls. Once the entire head is pinned, leave it to cool.
3) Once cooled, remove the pins and brush fingers through the hair to loosen the waves.
4) Use fingers to pull the hair back, leaving as much volume as possible, and pull it into a ponytail before twisting it into a nice, clean chignon. For a touch of red carpet glamour, secure the chignon with a brooch.
5) For added shine and a light hold, spritz the finished look with Sebastian Professional Trilliant.
