Technical Week 3: Chignon with Accessories

You will need: 

• Sectioning clips 
• Brushes and pintail comb 
• Hair tie 
• Hair clips 
• Hairspray 
• Accessories for hair 

Method: 

• Create your desired parting. 
• Section off the hair from behind each ear and pin out of the way. 
• Gather the rest of the hair ion a tight low ponytail. 
• Backcomb the topside of the top half of the ponytail. 
• Roll the ponytail up towards the head into a roll-like shape and pin. 
• Using a pin, stretch the roll across the back of the head and pin either side. 
• Release a front piece of hair from the clips, and twist or plait and pin on top of the chignon. 
• Repeat with the other clipped section of hair. 
• Add any desired accessories. 

 

 

 

I am pleased with my outcomes, and a particularly liked the look of the pink jewelled necklace on the chignon, but I could have done with putting some padding inside of the chignon as the necklace was very heavy so ended up squashing the design slightly.
