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.

It is a bit contradictory to see how messy ‘do can give such an elegant statement, as in case of Keira Knightley’s look for ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ movie premiere. After creating central parting, her hair was curled with curling iron and collected into this gorgeous, disheveled chignon. On a side note, you are very lucky if you don’t have to envy her on that delicate, long neck and her amazing, natural eyebrows. If you do, you can always reach out for navy smokey make up to complete the perfection.

Sleek hair is definitely 2014 synonym for elegance. Bring the frizz to zero with serum (and straightening iron if absolutely necessary) and you have a good starting point to repeat this look. Apply hair cream for additional sleekness, create middle parting and tie your hair in a low pony tail. Alessandra is wearing very simple chignon which you can repeat by coiling your hair around elastic and securing it with bobby pin. Make sure you tucked well every loose wisp that could derange this utterly neat look.

Runway trend for 2014 is super sleek hair in all shapes and forms: updo, ponytail, half up and even loose. Model Natasha Poly was wearing this hairstyle at Cannes Film Festival 2014.

Loose ends of her ponytail were then sectioned, rolled and pinned above the 3” section to form this elegant chignon. A killer combo with smokey eyes make up!

Cheryl Cole opted for 70’s retro glamour with her hairdo at Cannes Film Festival 2014. Despite heavy teasing on the crown required for bouffant, Cheryl’s lovely sunkissed hair is all but stiff in appearance, which is the legacy of 70’s paradigm on this hairstyle. Prior to teasing horizontal sections on the crown and back of the head, her hair was well prepared with blow drying and round brush, paying special attention to the sections around her face.  Then it was collected and tied in a low pony tail, leaving middle parted bangs loose. Pony tail was then sectioned, teased, smoothened, rolled into bun and secured with bobby pins at the nape. Hairspray is of utter importance for holding this hairdo in place.

Cute? You betcha! Always expect unexpected from Gwen Stefani’s style, like matching classic chignon and double arching dutch braids weaved from the hairline all the way to the nape. Well lets be realistic, whenever she decides not to let her hair touch that lovely face, she is only doing her appearance a big favor. For DIY we warmly recommend at least a day old hair to avoid disobedient strands in braids. If this is not helping, take very small amount of hair conditioner, rub it between your palms and stroke the surface of your hair.
