A hairstyle that will make you want to cut your bangs into this choppy cuteness! Texture of January Jones’ hair is accomplished with mousse and diffuser blow drying. Practically, you don’t need too many waves in your hair, but only to make it look a little bit like out of bed. Divide your hair in two sections at the back, start rolling on the sides, and pin the sections when you reach your nape. We are still in dilemma if red lipstick is optional for this style.

Blake Lively chooses her red carpet styles without ever making a mistake. Her chignon at Cannes Film Festival 2014 is total glam overdose. You could apply less effort and hair products if your hair is day old when repeating this style. Part your hair on the side, tease it a little on the crown and tie it in a low pony tail. Next you should tease your pony tail into voluminous pouf and smooth the surface with paddle brush. Secure the sections of your pony tail two inches from the elastic to conceal it. Create the body of your bun by securing the tips of your hair at the nape and curling them towards elastic. Apply hairspray in generous amount when you finish.
