At this year’s Critics Choice Awards, Jessica Biel, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Limited Series for Amazon Prime Video’s “The Better Sister,” rocked a stunning chignon by celebrity hairstylist Kat Thompson using Surface Hair products.
For this red carpet style, Thompson worked with sections of hair so smooth and shiny, that each, carefully layered piece is like placing the perfect satin ribbon. Thompson says she created this style, “in a sleek middle-part bun to let the back of her dress have the moment it deserves.” In doing so, the hair also had a moment!
Read on for a detailed breakdown of Jessica Biel’s hairstyle directly from Thompson herself, including a pro-tip on executing this “satin ribbon” effect.
Get the Look:
- “To create the perfect base, I started on damp hair with a combination of the Surface All In Leave-In Conditioner and Surface Blowout Primer to smooth the cuticle, add light control, and protect from heat without weighing the hair down. I then blow-dried the hair sleek using a soft bristle brush.
- Once the hair was fully dry, I reinforced the middle part and applied Surface Blowout Smoothing Balm through the roots and mid-lengths to control flyaways while keeping the hair soft. Before gathering the hair, I worked a few drops of their lightweight Bassu Hydrating Oil through the exterior to add shine and further tame flyaways for the perfect satin finish.
- I then gathered the hair low at the nape and secured the hair into a ponytail as the base to the bun. Next, I brushed the ponytail and gradually twisted the lengths to create the desired shape, securing with hair pins as needed. To ensure that the hairs were tucked in, I used small spritzes of the Surface Blowout Finishing Spray throughout.
- PRO TIP: Uniformly curling the ends of the ponytail will help them tuck into the bun with ease.
- I finished with a light mist of Surface Blowout Firm Finishing Spray to keep everything smooth and in place throughout the night.”
