Fab February: Chignon Tutorial

It's official! Paris Fashion Week has begun and just in time. Welcome to the final chapter of my Paris inspired makeup, fashion, and hair trilogy! Today's hair style: the chignon, is inspired by the above photo of Victoria Beckham. I know she is not French nor was this picture taken in Paris, but the chignon is an incredibly popular hair style and this is just my favourite one. Let's add a little spice to the Paris series (get it spice, as in Spice Girls...)

Products Needed:
-Heat Protectant
- Curling Wand/Iron
- Hair Ties
- Bobby Pins
- Hair Spray


1. Start with dry hair. You can wash your hair the night before or work with second day hair. If your hair feels a little greasy just add a little bit of dry shampoo to your roots.

2. Spray your hair with a heat protectant making sure to get all the way to the ends of the hair.

3. Loosely curl your hair using your curling wand or curling iron. Don't worry if you don't get every single piece because you are just adding texture.

4. Take a hair tie and string two bobby pins on it, to create a make shift bungee hairtie. Looks like this:

5. Starting from just above your ears pull back your hair and gather it at the nape of your neck. 

6. Take your new makeshift bungee hair tie and insert one of the bobby pins into your hair. Wrap the hair tie around the hair to create a low ponytail and secure it using the other bobby pin. (If it makes it easier, forget the whole bungee hair tie thing and just use a regular hair tie secure the low ponytail)

7. Twist your ponytail, until it twists back on itself, creating a low bun. Secure with bobby pins.

8. Now pull out the hair and loosen up the bun. 

9. Secure any stray strands or loose sections with bobby pins.

10. Spray your bun with hairspray.

Voila! Vous avez fini!! This is a super chic and posh hairstyle that can be worn everyday and can be glammed up for a more formal event.
