Here‘s what we love about hair: Just by changing up your style, you can reinvent your entire look. From laid-back waves to a tightly wound ballerina bun, your hair can say a thousand words if you let it. So, why not really make a statement with something a little adventurous — a hair dare, if you will?

We took that dare with Wendy Nguyen of Wendy's Lookbook and came up with a modern twist on the typical chignon. With just two headbands, a little teasing, and lots of volume-boosting products from Herbal Essences, Nguyen shows how you can change your whole persona. So, go ahead and give it a whirl — we dare you.

And, if you want more hairstyle how-tos, like soft, romantic waves or a classic top knot with a fresh twist, click here.

00:05Hi everyone, it's Wendy and I hope you're feeling adventurous today because I would love to share
00:10with you an almost futuristic updo that's totally alluring. So we're going to start with a golf ball
00:14size of the Herbal Essence Body Envy Volumizing Mousse. This body boosting formula works into
00:20our roots for maximum lift. I take one or two pumps of the Totally Twisted Curl Define and
00:26Hold Cream. We're going to work that through our hair focusing on the tips to ensure that
00:30our updo is sleek when we're done. Now we're going to use our hand like a diffuser to create
00:33volume and texture while blow drying. On to my favorite part, we're going to backcomb.
00:39We're going to create more volume by dividing our hair into sections and backcombing it.
00:44Create a twist at the bottom. I'm just going to fold it into each other. So after securing
00:52the bobby pins, we're going to use the end of our comb to smooth out the sides. Now we're
00:58going to add our first headband. We're going to position it about an inch and a half from
01:02our hairline. And just be careful not to ruin our updo. We'll repeat it with a second headband.
01:10Using the tip of our tail comb, we're going to gently tug to give it a little bit more volume.
01:15Now lock in the look by using the Body Envy Volumizing Hairspray. Eat your heart out, Judy
01:26Jethan.
