Braid Chignon Tutorial

  • Start by combing/brushing your hair well to get rid of tangles and knots – no hairstyle looks good with these.
  • Make a middle parting on the side of your head and gather all hair near the nape of your neck. Now, on the right side take a thin section of hair and make a braid with it – starting from the base of the head.
  • Take all your hair – leaving aside the braided part – and make a chignon with it by twisting your hair around till it resembles a neat bun. Securing it with bobby and bun pins.
  • Pull out a few strands in the bun to give it a messy look. (This is an optional step)
  • Use the braided part of the hair to encircle your chignon – and secure the end below the bun with a bobby pin
  • The braid chignon is done!

Sounds easy, doesn’t it? That’s precisely why you could give the braid chignon hairstyle a try.
