- 1Step 1 of 14
Dry hair using the T3 Bespoke Evolution and T3 360 Plump to thicken hair so pins will stay in place.
Start by parting hair and creating a crown of hair pins 1-inch above the perimeter of the hairline.
- 2Step 2 of 14
Beginning on one side at the front of the head, take a small piece of hair and start twisting inward, grab half-inch sections and incorporate the twisted hair you already have until you reach the middle of the nape of the neck. Proceed to do the same on the other side. - 3Step 3 of 14
At the back, crisscross the remaining hair and tuck it into the twist to hide ends. Secure with hair pins.
Finish with T3 360 Control hairspray for hold and shine.
- 4Step 4 of 14
To contrast the feminine, sophisticated clothes and to satisfy Carolina’s penchant for a classic updo, Orlando created a well-groomed, boyish updo. - 5Step 5 of 14
Section off a triangle behind the crown of the head and pull back. - 6Step 6 of 14
Separate top triangle of hair into two sections, top and bottom. Blow dry each half straight and spray with Volumizing Tonic.
- 7Step 7 of 14
Release both sections of hair and comb together with a fine tooth comb first, then a wide tooth comb (comb lines should be visible), adding more Volumizing Tonic to roots, to create a raked back effect. - 8Step 8 of 14
Slightly loosen shape with fingers to diminish comb marks and separate with hair pins. Dry with a diffuser. - 9Step 9 of 14
Pull all hair back, twist and tie into a low-slung knot a bit off center. Pull knot to tighten and finish the look with a light misting of Air Control Hair Spray. - 10Step 10 of 14
The look is androgynous with a hint of romance. The front is quite masculine, sides are scuplted with a raked-back effect and the remainder of the hair is tied into a loose, low-slung knot at the nape of the neck. - 11Step 11 of 14
Make a tight ponytail high on the top of the head. - 12Step 12 of 14
Twist the ponytail tightly into a coil.
Wrap coiled ponytail first towards the forehead and then to the back, securing with pins into a bun, sitting high on the head.
- 13Step 13 of 14
Take a Wella highlighted extension, coil, and secure on top of the twisted and already secured ponytail to add height and dimension to the bun. - 14Step 14 of 14
This look elaborates the '40s/'50s era with a "rockabilly" flair created by adding volume to the top of the head in a modern chignon.
