You don't have go to a salon to whip your mane into a side chignon. What makes the side chignon so easy is that it does not have to be perfect. Chignons that celebrities have worn on the red carpet often are loose or messy, giving the look a romantic feel. The side chignon also is a versatile 'do that you can wear to casual and formal affairs.
Instructions
1. Curl your hair using hot rollers. Hot rollers vary, but the process basically is the same. Wrap a handful of hair strands around the base of a large hot roller. Roll up until the curler reaches your scalp. Secure with a hot rolling clip. Once you have rolled your entire head, spray it with flexible hairspray and allow it to set for about 10 or 15 minutes. This will make forming your chignon easier.
2. Brush out curls and part hair. Using a hairbrush, lightly brush out your curls. Then use a comb to part your hair on the side. Pull all of your hair to one side and hold it in a loose ponytail.
3. Wrap and twist your hair. First, wrap an elastic ponytail holder around your loose ponytail. Then, wrap a second time but only pull your hair through halfway. This will form a loose, messy ball.
Another idea comes from Real Simple Magazine: "Secure the ponytail behind your ear with an elastic. Twist the ponytail until it begins to coil around on itself. Secure the coil around the elastic with hairpins."
