“There is nothing as inspiring as the work of Naeem Khan, especially in his bridal collections…I complemented his idyllic beadwork with a demure roped chignon – reminiscent of a flower in bloom. The natural backswept style also provides the perfect frame for the seashell crowns seen throughout the show.“
– Joseph DiMaggio, Master Session Ambassador for Davines and Lead Stylist

Step-by-step instructions:
- Prep hair by applying a generous amount of Davines More Inside This is A Volume Boosting Mousse onto fingertips. Distribute thoroughly from roots to ends, keeping hair smooth and in place.
- Section hair evenly from ear to ear, creating front and back sections.
- Using a blow dryer and large round brush, work to create subtle volume and bounce at the crown and top of the head by blowing hair up and away from the face.
- Once dry, use fingers to sweep the hair into a layered ponytail, securing with an elastic tie directly under the occipital bone.
- Tightly twist into a low bun at the nape of the neck, fasten with pins.
- Use weft extensions to create two tight twists. Twist these two extension wefts together, creating a “rope braid.”*
- Wrap rope braid around bun to create an elegant flowerlike shape and pin securely.*
- Using fingertips, customize the braid shape by applying Davines More Inside This Is A Texturizing Dust to hands and massaging for additional structural support and texture expansion.
- Finish by applying Davines More Inside This Is A Medium Hold Hair Spray for all over for shine and hold.
*At-home: Following step 4, separate ponytail into two smaller sections and tightly twist each, securing with two small elastics. Wrap into a rope braid and fasten to head with bobby pins in the same fashion.
