Classic Chignons with a Twist

Award season is upon us and it’s snowing with A-list hair inspirations. Give a red carpet’s favourite up-do an effortless makeover in minutes.

Naomi Watts’ No-Fringe Side-Swept Chignon

It’s a perfect variation for mid-length hair with no fringe. Just create a loose wave with the waving tongs or large barrel curling tongs for the hair that will frame your face on one side and pin the rest at the back in a loose chignon. It’s a relaxed way of doing chic.

Jennifer Lawrence’s Side-Swept Chignon with Fringe

Rock this look if you have a fringe. Blow-dry your hair and style your fringe into a loose side-swept fringe, on the same side as the side chignon. Instead of a prim and preppy look, defy perfection by loosening few strands from your bun.

Shay Mitchell’s Centre-Parting Loose Chignon

For those with a long fringe, a cute centre parting of few strands, framing the face is the answer. Apply volume mousse and blow-dry your hair with a large, round brush to create the volume. Backcomb the hair at the top and pin at the back into a chignon.
