The bun, one of the most classic hairstyles of all time, will forever be at home on the red carpet. Case in point: Reese Witherspoon at this year’s Oscars. Gorgeous gowns and brilliant baubles aside, this polished hairdo can also underscore everyday sophistication and is surprisingly easy to re-create on your own. Hairstylist Mark Townsend—the man responsible for Natalie Portman’s bun at the 2005 Academy Awards and her 2006 Golden Globe look—offers no-fail steps for whipping up a trophy-winning twist. —Amy Gurvitz
For a polished, low turn, apply mousse to damp hair and
blow-dry with a round, mixed-bristle brush.
Work in a styling gel from
the mid-length of your hair
down the ends; this will
make your tresses easier
to manage.
Separate the
hair along the
crown of your
forehead from
the rest of your
locks, and pin it
loosely out of
the way.
Pull back the bottom half of your
hair into a low ponytail, and secure
it with a clear, snag-free elastic at
the nape of your neck.
Take the hair from the top of your
head and the tease the roots in small
sections to create volume. Then
wrap and the pin the ends around
the base of the bun.
Tame any flyaway hairs with a small
amount of finishing cream, apply
hairspray for extra, all-over hold,
and viola!- a chic chignon.
Braid or twist the
ponytail and wrap
it around the base,
securing it with
bobby pins.
