Oscar Blandi created a non-traditional chignon for Faith Hill at the 2008 Grammy Awards-”We wanted a clean polished look to compliment Faith’s Valentino gown. I used an off-centered chignon that has a natural mess to it, with more curls and lots of definition. She looked absolutely beautiful.” Oscar Blandi.

 

How to get Faith Hill’s look at home? “I started by spraying my Jasmine Protein Mist on the hair, to just lightly re-wet the hair. I sprayed Wave Enhancing Spray to the roots to give it volume and then blew the hair dry. I used 1 and 1/2 curling iron and then pinned the curls, letting the hair set for 10 minutes. I then gathered the hair in a low, off centred pony tail and began pinning curls. I added more body and texture to the bottom curls, in order to to add thickness, in order to add thickness and body to the chingon. As I got closer to the last few pieces, I kept them smooth and finished sculpting the chignon.  To finish the look, I used a little Seta to smooth over the hair and any fly-away pieces.” Oscar Blandi. 

 

Oscar Blandi’s Toolkit: Oscar Blandi Jasmine Protein Mist ($18, at Sephora)-infused with soy and wheat proteins, this styling aid seal the cuticle. This allows the hair to withstand the heat and abuse we subject our hair when using flat/curling iron or blow dryer so that we can achieve the same look from the initial style.

 

Oscar Blandi Wave Enhancing Spray ($18, at Sephora)-Enriched with soy proteins to strengthen and fortify the hair, this lightweight spray activates all types of wavy hair, adding texture and bounce, leaving hair soft and natural to touch.

Oscar Blandi Seta Silk Polishing Cream ($19, at Sephora)-functions like silk. Seta will transform and emphasize any style into a sleek and refined Italian work of art. It seals hair’s cuticle while providing incredible shine and protecting damp hair from heat.
