How-To: Braided Color Splash Chignon

First, decide where your client wants their ponytail—high, low or off to the side—and use a ponytail holder to secure it into place.

Use this three-pronged comb to slide in between your head and the ponytail holder.

Then, take either side and wrap it around the ponytail.

Push to secure and utilize the wraparound feature, camouflaging any seam. Then use a bobby pin to secure it into place.

Section the ponytail into four sections, creating chignons in three out of the four sections.

Braid the fourth section and pull the braid apart to create a more fluffed up style.

Place the braid in front of the chignons and pin into place.
