Natural hair care and beauty brand Aveda show StyleNest how to achieve that messy chic top knot, as seen on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week at Christian Siriano.
Aveda Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders teams up with StyleNest to help you achieve that catwalk Ballerina Bun at home with minimal fuss. “The Look we created is a ballerina’s bun that she’s twisted up herself after she’s danced, perhaps on her way back from practice,” – Antoinette Beenders.
Step 1.
Use Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep, comb through your hair using your fingers so its preened and prepped. Your hair will be easier to style if its not freshly washed, so ensure you try your Ballerina Bun a day after washing,
Step 2.
Now, tip your head upside down and detangle with Aveda Light Elements Texturizing Crème, ensuring to avoid the hairline. Run the product through from ends to top, ensuring to avoid the roots.
Step 3.
Using your fingers, comb through your hair into a ponytail tight at the top of your head.
Step 4.
Twist the tail of your hair and continue twisting until you form a loose bun. Finish by securing with elastic.
Step. 5.
Finish, by pinning the bun at the base to secure and fix with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray. Massage sides to loosen for a whimsy flyaway effect.
Aveda products are available online and at Aveda salons nationwide.
