HOW TO: Deconstructed Chignon | Kenra Platinum
#howtohair #upstyle #hairtutorial #chignon #deconstructedlook #hairstylist #updo #hairtutorial
Hi everyone Today we're gon na create a Soft Deconstructed Chignon.. It'S going to be really beautiful and whimsical.. What I love about this style is that it's really simple and easy, but it looks like it took a lot more time to create. It's especially great for finer, hair types.. So with our client, we started out by prepping her hair with Kenra Platinum. Thickening Mousse gave her a nice blowout and then prepped her with a 1 and a quarter-inch curling iron. I used our Kenra Platinum Working Spray, which I'm going to show you guys a little bit more as we get into it.. So let's go ahead and get started. I get a lot of requests from clients to utilize the center part with an up style, so we're gon na do that. Today., I'm gon na go a couple inches back from her front hairline and I'm gon na create a diagonal back parting that goes to right. Behind the ear., This is going to change depending on your client's hair density and whether they have a lot of face-framing layers.. So I'm just gon na go ahead and pin that out of the way and I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite. Side. Now that my front sections are pinned away, I'm gon na create a circular section right through the crown.. This is generally where I get a lot of requests for some volume and with finer hair types. I don't like to do a lot of teasing because it really creates almost kind of a messy finish. Instead of it. Looking soft and natural. I'm going to use a tiny bit of my Kenra Platinum Working, Wax just enough to go on the end of my nail and I'm going to emulsify it in my fingertips.. I'M just gon na go through and break up through the top. This is going to give her some nice texture and shine, and a little bit of separation.. Now I'm going to create a low loose ponytail with that crown section that I have sectioned off.. A good tip is to not make your ponytail holder too tight, or else it's going to be difficult to pull and actually fluff up. This top part. You'll end up pulling too much hair, and then it's going to give you a look that you're not happy with.. So now I'm going to invert my ponytail., So I'm just gon na create a little separation, equal sides and I'm gon na flip the tail right over the top.. I also like to reach the rubberband afterwards, because it already helps to create this nice volume that we got here., I'm going to hold my ponytail at the bottom, nice and loosely. I don't want to hold it too tight, or else it's gon na be difficult. For me to pinch and pull., But I'm gon na create some nice texture through the top.. This is creating that volume without having to put a lot of teasing into her hair, and it's also really nice to be able to just take this out. Your clients are gon na be brushing through their hair forever., With a little bit more Kenra Platinum, Working Wax on just my fingertips. I'M gon na take the remaining amount of her hair. I'M gon na work it right through the ends and that's gon na help me give some nice shine and separation again. With all the remaining hair on the bottom. I'M gon na combine it all together again making another low ponytail. Keeping in mind. We want to keep this loose so that nothing looks too tight or pulled.. I love using ponytail holders because it secures everything, but it still keeps everything. Looking nice and romantic., I'm again gon na create another little inverted ponytail. So I'm gon na take my fingers through the center and then just flip that right over the top., Now go back in pinch and pull until I create that volume that is desired.. So, with the remaining hair at the bottom, I'm going to use our Kenra Platinum Working Spray because it has a really nice low hold with a lot of shine. It'S really gon na accentuate her hair color and give me a little bit of control.. I'M going to go in and just create a really soft amount of backcombing. I'M really just doing a little bit of superficial backcombing. So I'm not pushing my comb all the way through.. Then I'm gon na pull this whole ponytail up and create my chignon.. I'M gon na secure each side of the chignon with a bobby pin.. I don't like to open the bobby pins, as I put them into the hair. I almost just weave them in that way. You don't grab too much hair and it starts to slip back out.. So without opening the bobby pin, I like to use the longer arm to go in and just pick up a couple of pieces of hair almost like I'm weaving it, and that gives me ultimate security without picking up too much for the bobby pin to hold.. Once you have your chignon on into place, I like to go back in with the Kenra Platinum Working Spray, just to give it a little bit of extra hold without looking overworked.. I like using a soft hold hairspray, because it gives me that control I need without making the hair look too overdone. Now that we have the back secured I'm going to work on these front sections for clients that want a softer look with a little bit more whimsy, I like to take these front sections and instead of forcefully pulling out pieces, sometimes they can look a little bit. Random. I like to just shake out this front section so that some pieces fall naturally.. I'M gon na again just use a tiny bit of working wax to give me some control, but some pliable movement and I'm gon na start twisting back away from the face. A A good tip is to not make your twist too tight. You don't want this really extreme, or else it's going to be hard to deconstruct it and fluff it out.. So just softly twist back away from the face, starting at the bottom, I'm gon na fluff. My twists back out., So I'm just pulling at really just the tiniest outer strands to create a little bit more volume., A good tip for finer hair types or, if you're working with smaller sections to make them look. Fuller, I like to go in and pull the very last piece of hair, so just the tiniest bit and rouge my section up to give it a little bit more bulk., I'm going to cross this over in the back and pin it right. On top of my chignon. Again, I'm gon na take my bobby pin and I'm just going to weave in that section. Now, I'm going to repeat the same process on the opposite, side. So again, twisting back away from the face always helps bring the style up. Instead of having it droop too much., One big thing that I like to do when creating a really soft whimsical upstyle is, I don't like to do too much of my perfecting while I'm creating my final look., I like to wait until everything is secured and then Go back through and perfect it. With the remaining pieces that I have hanging, I like to use a little bit of the Kenra Platinum Working, Wax just to define them and give them a little bit of control.. This is a nice option instead of using hairspray because it stays pliable throughout the day.. I love the Working Wax for these front pieces because it really helps with any little frizz ease. When detailing the hair., I like to utilize my styling pins, because they'll hold everything softly in place without making it look too tight or too pulled., So how I like to put them into the hair, is, I start with the legs pointed upwards, and then I just Loop back over the top and then secure it down.. This will hide the pin, also creating a nice soft hold.. Now that we've completed the style, one of my favorite tricks is to use a kabuki brush and my Kenra Platinum, Finishing Spray to help smooth out any of these little flyaways. This helps me not put too much tension and smash the hair down, but just get away all of those little staticky hairs.. Now that I have everything into place, I'm gon na give a light mist of our Kenra Platinum, Finishing Spray just to solidify this style and help with longevity. Voila There you have it our Deconstructed Chignon

Tasha H.: I've spent two weeks practicing different hair styles for my sister's upcoming wedding to no avail. I'm a bridesmaid so I want more than a simple half up pony lol. I'm fairly good with hair as a non-expert, but certain styles are a struggle. I didn't even have to search for your video, it auto played after another hair tutorial I watched. Before I started watching I had a feeling this would be my final stop. I was right! My hair is the model's length, a tricky one for low bun updos which is my preferred style for my dress... The way you construct it in parts makes all the difference and it turns out beautifully. Truly, this is the highest-payoff-for-least-effort formal hair tutorial I've come by, and it happens to be exactly what I need! Thank you!!!
Yugala Hair: This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing

Lavender Rainbow: *CHALLENGE* - Here's a hair tutorial challenge for you! My hair is incredibly thin but very long - just past my butt :) My hair is so fine I have difficulty hiding one of those bun inserts, lol! It doesn't matter how much I curl my hair, volume doesn't stay. I have even went as far to use Got-to-B Freeze spray to hold curls but they eventually fall out. So, this is a style that I would *LOVE* to achieve, just not as big as she has it. The hair style is at 15:21 of this youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJdZcmZvTWo If you try this for me, could you comment to my comment as "challenge accepted" :)
Infinite Galaxy: Did this on my mom ... she loved it !

FATAFRAGOLA: this looks ah-mazing!!! i only wish the camera was pointed at the back of the head while you were pinning those two side twists towards the back. i love the insight about weaving the pins and also pulling the twist upward to "ruche" it. i am going to try and hide a bad haircut with this method for like the next four months until the layers grow out. THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO KENDRA!
Deepa’s Makeup story !!: That tip in the end just made mt day!! ❤️❤️

Miss Fox: I did a messy version but i struggled to do the rolled up bun bit because my hair is soooo long
Parasmani Acharya: Beautiful!!!!
steph: This is beautiful. I wish my hair was thick enough to pull it off. I wish more channels had hairstyles catering to fine, thin hair. The models hair looks somewhat fine, but mine is 10x worse does anyone know of a good spray that helps to texturize hair?
MeliHairStyle: So beautiful hairstyle
