Chignon

A chignon is a type of hairstyle that creates a bun on the back of the head. The chignon is a timeless, classic hairstyle that has been used throughout the ages. The idea of the bun is to pull the woman's hair up and off the neck.

The chignon, pronounced "shay-non" comes from a French word meaning the nape of the neck. The chignon is a knot of hair worn low on the head near the nape of the neck.

It is easy to make a chignon. To make one you will need several bobby pins. The chignon is made by twisting the hair and rolling it into a loose low bun. Use the bobby pins along the outer edges to keep it in place. There are many variations on the chignon. It can easily be dressed up or down so it can be worn for a large variety of occasions.

A modern variation on the chignon starts with a low ponytail. Then the hair is twisted and pulled through so that the ends are pointing up toward the top of the head.

A chignon is often worn for special occasions because it can look very chic. For weddings you can add flowers to the edges of the bun. A chignon makes it easy to wear your veil and makes an elegant look for pictures.

The chignon can also be worn with casual clothes. The low bun is a great way to get the hair off your neck while still looking good. It is especially nice during hot summer days.

The chignon is also a perfect look for the office. It is sophisticated yet has a casual appeal to it. It is easy to do so anyone can easily learn how to make it. Because it sits low on the neck even those with medium to short hair can wear one.
