This style is the perfect blend of romantic, is on-trend and simple to create. Let’s take a look at this must-have chignon.
 
The twisted chignon will instantly give any outfit an elegant edge, whether you opt for a more casual or sophisticated vibe. Simple and timeless, the twisted chignon is ideal for toning down a more extravagant beauty look, smartening up your streetstyle outfit as well as balancing out a casual getup. This style was made for boho-chic hippies as well as groomed office girls. The best bit? This take on the classic chignon will open up the facial features beautifully, meaning a bold make-up look is showed off to the maximum.
 
Start with freshly washed hair that has been straightened. Next, create a neat centre parting. On one side of your head, braid a simple plait, then repeat on the opposite side. Gather your locks at the nape of the neck and secure into a low ponytail. Next, start entwining your two plaits into each other to get that twisted look and roll upwards to create your chignon shape. Secure with the help of a few bobby pins and spray evenly with hairspray. Voila! A chic and on-trend look in just a few minutes!
