Hair's the Scoop

Some of the most modern, fashion-forward looks are actually the easiest to achieve— it's all in the technique.

Take the twisted chignon. It's fun, chic, and can easily take you from day to night. To get-the-look, I've asked Lawrence Martinez— senior stylist at Butterfly Studio Salon— to share his 3-step method:

Step One: Don't be afraid to be a little dirty.
Star with hair that’s not too clean. Hair should be smooth and polished. If its too clean, “dirty” hair with some pomade or hairspray.

Step Two: Pony up.
Comb hair to the top of the crown and tie in a high ponytail. When hair is secured in place, twist hair like a rope to the ends and wrap around the base of the ponytail and secure with a bobby pin.

Step Three: Work it out.
Pull the bun loosely until you achieve your desired shape.

...Voilà! Runway-worthy hair in a matter of minutes.

Will you be getting "knotty" this season?
