  1. Work a volumising mousse through dry hair and blast with a hair dryer.
  2. Section the hair into two parts and pin one half out of the way.
  3. Tie the loose section of hair into a high ponytail, then spritz in place with hairspray.
  4. Twist the ponytail into a loop around your thumb, adding grips to secure it in place.
  5. Comb through the other side of hair, before pulling it round the bun you’ve just created.
  6. Tuck the loose ends into the top of your chignon and pin it to secure everything in place.
