Make A Low Chignon

Make an stylish low chignon.

A low chignon is a knot of hair gracefully arranged low at the nape of the neck. It is a simple elegant look that can be worn in a few different ways. Slick it back tight and neat for a more formal look. Arrange it loose and a little messy for a more causal everyday look. The low chignon is a fashion that can be worn to a wedding or a day at the beach. The low chignon is a classic hairstyle that is always in fashion, but your hair needs to be at least shoulder length for this style.

Instructions

1. Apply a styling product, such as mousse or gel, which you normally use for your hair.

2. Brush your hair smooth and either part your hair in the middle, on the side or just pull it straight back from your forehead. It's a matter of personal preference and will not affect the rest of the style.

3. Gather your hair low at the nape of your neck and wrap a covered hair rubber band around your hair, creating a ponytail.

4. Twist your hair around your finger until it begins to coil.

5. Wrap the coil around the rubber band, then around again creating a bun. Tuck the ends under the bun.

6. Insert a large bobby pin into the top of the outer edge of the bun turn so it faces the center of the bun. Push the end of the bobby pin between your head and the rubber band. This will secure the chignon. Repeat on the other side of the chignon.

7. Insert a couple more bobby pins to further secure the chignon and pin down any loose ends.

8. Smooth down any stray hairs and spray your hair with hairspray.
