hey guys well back to my channel today I wanted to share to you is this super simple
yet beautiful modern chic Chignon hair style I really wanted to share this
hairstyle with you guys because I think it's so perfect for any special event
especially prom or a wedding also think it would be great for work and I know a
lot of you aware these updos for a church and I think that it's absolutely
perfect for that it's literally three simple steps you guys it's going to work
on all hair types and it's perfect for shoulder length hair or longer so let's
get started today I'm starting off with straight hair I feel almost 70s when my
hair is this straight but you can also start off with wavy or curly hair you
guys know how much I love that undone look but today I'm going for a more
modern chic appearance all you're going to need for this hair tutorial are one
to two hair elastics depending on your hair length you'll see what I mean in a
minute and like always any good up do you need
a bunch of bobby pins on hand to help you pin into place so step number one to
those hairstyles we're going to create a half a ponytail so the best thing to do
part your hair is normal and just go to the very back of your part draw a line
straight down until you hit the middle back of your ear and that's going to be
our first section and then you just want to repeat the exact same process on the
other side once you have your second section you just want to join these two
together at the back of your head with a hair elastic you want to make sure that
you only grabbed this sides and that in between your two sections you still have
all of the hair the back of your head going straight down and your hair should
look a little something like this from the side so now step two what you'll
want to do is grab all of your hair and secure it with that second hair elastic
just below the needs of your neck this is going to help with our next step to
ensure that the hair stays together and remains nice and smooth if your hair is
shorter just secure all of your ends together with that ponytail we just
created we're going to move it up and over that first half a ponytail from
step 1 as I'm looping it I'm going to gently pull mine through the left side but it
doesn't matter which side you choose once my ends are through I'm
just gently looping the rest of the ponytail and you want to guide it
through slowly instead of just pulling on it to help prevent the appearance of
flyaways depending on your hair's lengths you could stop here and proceed
to step three but if your hair is longer we're going
to repeat the exact same process until the ponytail is completely wrapped so
one more time I'm just going to reach through that loop that we created and
I'm grabbing on to my ends and then with my other hand I'm finding that first
ponytail that we created and looping my ends up and through and again pulling
them out the left side
now I have about four inches sticking out the ends and all you have to do is
tuck them in I'm going to grab the entire bundle we've created and very
slowly and gently tighten it up I'm just working with the loop that
we've created and pushing them up and through that half a ponytail just a
little bit more until everything is nice and tight sitting where I want it take
your time guiding it through remember tighten it nice and slow to help prevent
those flyaways from appearing if you still see your hair elastic like mine
don't worry just place your fingers below it on either side and gently pull
and the elastic will slide up this section and then we can tuck it away
this also works as a great anchor point when pinning later now step three is
securely pin your bun into place since we created loops it's very easy to slide
your fingers into these loops and place as many bobby pins as you need in there
I alternated sides and worked my way towards the middle I try my best to
create crosses with my pins inside my loops just to make sure they are secured
better and once you're done it should look a little something like this
and I'm going to go ahead and take some hairspray and I'm just going to spray it
right on my fingers to help smooth away any flyaways and those pesky neck hairs
so there you have you guys that's how easy it is to do this modern Chignon
