Modern Up-do with added accessories

To create a chignon you will need the following products: 

- Brush 

- Sectioning comb 

- Hair tie 

- Grips 

- Hairspray 

- Hair Net 

- Accessories to add into the hair

- V Grips 

Step by Step:

- Brush the hair thoroughly to remove any knots and tangles. 

- Section the hair behind the ears and secure out of the way. 

- Brush the hair into a low ponytail. 

- Create a small amount of backcomb at the top of the ponytail if the hair is quite thin. This will create a thicker base to work with. 

- Roll the ends of the ponytail up to the head and secure with grips. 

- Use hairspray to smooth down any fly away bits. 

- To smooth down the hair and create a nice finish, put a hair net over the bun matching the models hair colour. 

- Use v-grips to secure the net into place. 

- The front sections that have been placed out of the way can be styled into any way and then secured over the bun. For my example I have plaited the hair. 

- Place accessories into the hair to make the style more interesting. The chignon is a perfect style for weddings and proms.
