Summer wedding season is among us!  Even if you are not the bride or a bridesmaid you still want to look your best.  Kevin Mancuso, Nexxus Creative Director, has a bold yet polished look that works with any fashion look and keeps your hair off your neck and shoulders.

“Give an updated twist to a classic style, like a chignon, by placing it high on your head. This polished, sophisticated look will carry you through wedding season in style.”

– Kevin Mancuso, Nexxus Creative Director

Create this chic look at home with products from Nexxus® Salon Hair Care and the below tips from celebrity stylist and Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso:

PREP

• Start by washing hair with a moisturizing shampoo, like Nexxus Therappe Luxurious MoisturizingShampoo.
• Follow with Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner to add hydration and dimensional shine to your style.
• Apply Nexxus Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam Styler to damp hair to help create body and volume.
• Blow-dry hair, using a large round brush to smooth the ends.

STYLE

• Gather hair at the top of your head and secure in place with an elastic.
• Spilt hair into four sections and wrap each section around the base one at a time, making the style as loose or tight as you desire.
• Fasten sections into place with bobby pins to secure your style, making sure they are hidden under the bun.

FINISH

• Finish the look with a misting of Nexxus Maxximum Super Hold Styling and Finishing Mist for long lasting hold.
