How to Create the Chicest Chignon of the Season

The chignon is a timeless hairstyle that returns refreshed every season. This year, it takes on a more natural and effortless elegance, giving the impression of care without excessive effort.

Secret to Success: Proper hair preparation is key. Hair should be a day old or treated with texturizing spray or dry shampoo for hold and volume. A gentle pass with curling iron on the ends can help create the right base.

Placement Makes a Difference: The chignon is placed low on the nape of the neck, with a part in the middle or on the side. Then, the hair is gathered into a low ponytail and twisted around its base, forming a loose bun. Secure with bobby pins and leave a few strands loose around the face.

Texture and Finish: A light hairspray stabilizes the hairstyle, while a little hair oil on the ends adds shine. Avoid excessive use of products.

Occasions: The chic chignon is ideal for the office, evening events, or formal occasions. It pairs well with statement earrings and clean makeup.

Beauty Tip: Wrap a strand of hair around the base of the chignon to cover the elastic, giving a professional and luxurious look.
