Chignon Procedure

08 Updos: French Twist, Chignon, Draping

✔️Start w/dry hair, & apply hair spray to control static & make hair more manageable.

✔️Create ear-to-ear part in front of ears to divide front of style from back. Clip front section out of way.

✔️️Brush hair for a pony tail just below occipital bone. Before wrapping pony tail, be sure to smooth hair. Add product for control as needed.

✔️Bind pony tail w/covered rubber band, keeping even tension & pulling hair close to scalp.

✔️Back comb hair on underside of pony tail to create a firm cushion that will not separate. Apply hair spray to back-combed underside of pony tail.

✔️Use styling comb to shape hair, w/palm on underside to assist. Apply hair spray lightly on top for control.

✔️Hold & smooth hair @ elevation hair will be placed.

✔️Put 2 bobby pins on opposite sides of small covered rubber band. Slide one of bobby pins into side of hair about 1" above existing band, holding on to bobby pin. Pull band over hair, & secure other pin in hair on opposite side. Both pins face inward to create a "seam" which hides pony tail. A hair pin may be added over band for added hold.

✔️Release rest of pony tail & gently pull this hair down & gather ends together. Pinch ends together & make a circle. Bobby pin this curl in under base of pony tail.

✔️To finish, pull the sides of the chignon close to the headand secure with hair pins. Style the front.
