Chignon with side waves - How to guide

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Chignon with sweeping side waves. Check out the Step by step how to guide

1. Prep your hair. If you have dry or frizy hair apply smoothing balm. If you want extra volume blow dry it with a volumising product.

2. Using a comb, create a low side part in the hair. Separate out the front section (this is the part you`ll be adding curls too)

3. Keeping out the fringe section, pin back the rest of the hair so it`s out of the way. Using a heat styler (GHD iron was used for this photoshoot) take a section of hair a few centimeters thick and run the iron down it at a diagonal angle to create wave. Repeat with all of the hair in the side-fringe section.

4. Pull the rest of the hair back and into a low ponytail. Secure with a hair elastic.

5. Twist the ponytail you`ve just created around itself to form a low bun.

6. Loosen the front curls with your fingers to create a soft texture, and arrange them around the face.

7. Finish with hairspray to set the style.
