In honor of awards season, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite red carpet hairstyles, the classic chignon. I love this timeless style and find that it's appropriate for many occasions.

Thanks for reading, and here's to fabulous looking hair! xx

It's so important to use a sulfate free shampoo when you have color treated hair. Here, you can read more hair tips for color treated hair.
