In this practical hair session with Lottie, we learnt how to add accessories to a simple chignon up-do. As this is quite a simple style, adding accessories gives the look a little something extra. The chignon looks great on all ages and is a great style for weddings, or to accompany a light, soft make-up look.
Equipment Needed:
Paddle Brush/ Denman Brush
Sectioning Clips
Pintail Comb
A Hairband
Kirby Grips
Hair Pins
Dry Shampoo
Hair Accessories
1. To start, take your pintail comb and two sectioning grips. First, use your comb to create a middle parting and then section the hair from behind the ear, leaving a fairly wide section either side at the front of the head. Taking the hair left at the back, gather it at the nape of the neck and secure with a hair band.
2. Twist the hair upwards, not too tightly and secure with kirby grips. Using your pintail comb, shape and volumise the the hair, gently pulling outwards. Once you have created your desired shape, secure with hair pins.
3. Taking the sections left a the front, bring these back over the chignon and secure with grips/pins. These front sections of hair can be twisted, plaited or left natural depending on the look you are going for.
4. Once you have created your chignon, its time to add your chosen accessories. I experimented with various accessories including flowers, jewellery and small hats. When applying these, think about where and how you want them to be placed, as sometimes you may need to pin the front sections of hair before or after your accessory is where you want it.
