Over the weekend, Vanessa Hudgens exchanged vows with Cole Tucker in a private ceremony in Tulum, Mexico, surrounded by her High School Musical co-stars, including Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel. Hudgens wowed in a custom cowl-neck slip dress by Vera Wang, complemented by an elegant slicked-back bun. On December 7, 2023, the actress’s wedding hairstylist, Danielle Priano, took to TikTok to share a step-by-step guide to recreating the bride’s sleek updo.
Priano relied on a range of Redken products to achieve Hudgens’ stunning chignon. Beginning with Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo, Priano then applied Activated Glass Gloss Treatment and Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner to nourish Hudgens’ hair. She followed up with Acidic Color Gloss Heat Protection Treatment and Spray Smooth on wet hair before blow-drying and straightening it for a smooth finish.
