ETA. I'm most curious about what the narrator calls working wax. It looks like something that would help to hold my hair in place for certain styles.

I won't tease my hair regardless.

A very pretty updo. It mentions working wax. I'm curious about the product and if it's benign for hair.

Definitely not good. Teasing and hairspray that contains alcohol. I wonder how this hairstyle would look without the teasing, fluffing and the hair spraying.

I wondered about that too. But I'm curious about the product she refers to as working wax. It might be something that would help hold my hair in place.

Just looks like it's normal hair wax, working wax is just the name of the Kenra branded (https://www.ulta.com/platinum-working-wax-15?productId=xlsImpprod6370207) one.
Such a pretty look, I do wonder if it'd be possible with less product, but even with the product I know my hair would just slip out of that style with all the fluffing!

So cute! Would using a donut work to create the volume of the chignon without needing to do all the sticky stuff and such? Seems like it'd be a lot quicker. Maybe a little donut and then kind of 'pancake' around it, if that makes sense.

eta: re working wax, I think just a typical styling wax. Here's some links to maybe explain what I'm thinking of:

I actually use this one when I want to smooth my 'edges' down:
