Easy to create and popping up on the catwalks more and more, the messy chignon is a star hairstyle this summer. Its deliberately dishevelled effect makes it great for everyday wear, especially when you want to give your hairstyle a rocky edge.
Here´s our step-by-step advice on how to create an express chignon.
Step 1:To make things easier, don´t wash your hair the day you want to create this chignon. Ideally, wash it a day or two before and dry
naturally, running your fingers through it for a natural result.
Step 2:It takes work to achieve such volume. You need to
backcomb your hair in order to give it thickness and texture. There´s no better way to give it a boost! But don´t go overboard, otherwise you´ll end up packing it all into the roots. Backcomb to help with styling and
add thickness. Step 3:Create a
low, loose ponytail. Secure with a
bungee band, again keeping it loose.
Step 4:Bring your lengths up to the bungee band and secure with hair slides. Fix a few pieces higher than the others for a laid-back result. For optimum hold,
spray a large helping of hairspray across the whole style.
