Classic & chic, the Chignon is still going strong and has emerged as one of the biggest trends this season!

Spotted everywhere from the high streets to the runways, this French updo is the perfect way to spruce up and add a touch of elegance to your ensemble.

The chic chignon bun can be worn for any occasion: a night out, a day at the office or even a wedding!

Here are a few steps to sport this sophisticated hairstyle.

1. Start by tying all of your hair into a slick ponytail.
2. Slide the elastic band down, about an inch or 2, and split it at the centre.
3.  Flip the ponytail up and loop it through the split, grabbing it with your fingers from underneath and pulling it through.
4. Give the ponytail a gentle tug so it tightens back up.
5. Your ponytail should look like this- there should be a slight separation where you’ll be tucking your hair later.
6. Use a comb to tease the ponytail. You can tease as little or as much as you want. The more you tease, the bigger your bun will be. Once you’re done teasing the hair, smooth the outside of it gently by using a smoothing brush.
7. Wrap the ponytail around one hand and tuck the tail of the ponytail into the separation you created before.
8. Once you’ve tucked the excess, start pinning the bun in place. Gently pull it apart to make it fuller.

For a soft romantic touch you can also add an embellished accent to your styled Chignon.

So if you’re in search of an elegant hairstyle that is easy to create; this French hairdo is the way to go.
