Classy and chic, the chignon is an elegant updo that is always in style. The style of the chignon has not changed since its introduction in the '20s, when women revisited their glamorous sides after World War I. Often seen on brides, the chignon is a staple for wedding updos because it is both versatile and dependable -- it will remain in place throughout the evening. Recreating the look is simple, and it works well on ladies with long hair.
Instructions
1. Wash and condition hair. Do not dry hair with a hairdryer; instead, pat hair dry with a towel, apply a detangler spray and let the hair air dry for the best results.
2. Apply a straightening balm to the hair to create soft and silky tresses. Comb the balm through the hair from root to tips for the best results.
3. Pull hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. The nape is found on the back side of your head, just before the neck, at the bottom hairline. Layered hair may need to be pinned along the sides of your head to keep it straight and sleek.
4. Twist the ponytail into a tight spiral until it is so tight that it coils downward, like a snake, onto the base of the ponytail. The tighter the hair is turned, the sleeker the look of the chignon.
5. Wrap the twisted hair around the ponytail holder to create a bun. As you continue to twist the hair it will get tight enough so it curls downward naturally. Simply wrap the hair, as you continue to twist, in a circle around the ponytail holder.
6. Pin the chignon using bobby pins. Tuck the ends of the hair into the bun and secure the inside of the chignon, and the outside, with bobby pins.
7. Apply a medium-hold spray to the back hair and sides to ensure the look will stay put all night.
