  Zooey Deschanel’s ultra-glam chignon updo has a ‘60s style lift and mega-volume. To get the bump at your crown, backcomb hair first, then smooth over with a bristle brush. Pull hair into a mid-height ponytail, then tuck remaining strands underneath, pinning in place with bobby pins.

Sweep hair to one side and secure at the nape of your neck, tucking strands underneath into a faux bob with bobby pins.
