Step 1: Prep Your Hair

• Take horizontal sections and spray a minimum of 6-8" away with Redken quick tease 15 backcombing finishing spray to protect the hair from heat and for maximum iron results
• Use the Sam Villa Textur^® Texturizing Iron tapping the plates down the length to texturize the entire head of hair
• After you have texturized the hair, brush through thoroughly with the Sam Villa Styling Brush to smooth the hair
• Once this is completed you will be able to create amazing looks for a minimum of 4 days!

Step 2: Create Your Part

• Set in your part where you naturally wear it
• Use a Sam Villa Wide Cutting Comb to separate the sides by combing hair off the face and letting it naturally split - this approach will give you a straight part every time
• Create the design by beginning at the top of your heavy side
• Start with a small section, twisting up and away from your face by only adding sections from the front side of the twist - this will keep the front looking controlled

Step 3:  Twist Repeat

• Keep adding more sections until you arrive behind your ear on the opposite side of the head
• Secure the section with a large hairpin
• Hot Tips:
  • Purchase a quality shower cap - doing so will allow you the experience of a full shower and keeps your texture set intact
  • Use a dry shampoo such as Redken Powder Refresh 01 to deodorize your hair and remove excess oils
  • You can create amazing new looks every day with three times the volume and minimal styling time -- The Sam Villa Textur^® Texturizing Iron is a must have if you are a hair fashionista (or even if you are hair-imparied)

Step 4: Wrap It Up

• Repeat the process on the opposite side of the head, twisting until you have picked up and twisted all of your hair and the twists meet
• HOT TIP:
  • When securing a shape with a hairpin begin by placing the pin thru the shape in the opposite direction, then secure it back toward the desired shape using a hook movement
  • This will allow for maximum tension and security

Step 5: Create Your Twisted Chignon

• Wrap the entire length of the smaller twisted section around the larger twisted section and secure it with a large hair pin
• Twist the length of your remaining ponytail until it folds
• Use large hairpins and secure your length to create a beautiful chignon
• You have the option to leave your ends out for an edge or tuck them in for a more classic look
