Fall '11 Hair Trend - Messy Chignon

Since I just recently graduated from beauty school, I thought I'd make my first post a hair related one!

The runways this season were not only full of amazing fall fashions, but also a few trendy and effortless hair styles that are perfect for the girl on the go and are super easy.


This is one of my favorite hair styles. It's simple, can be spruced up with hair accessories and braids, and is perfect when you only have a few minutes to do your hair.

Step 1: Brush through your hair removing all of the tangles and knots.

Step 2: In the back, part your hair down the middle as you would if you were doing pigtails. (You can do this with your finger, it's not supposed to be perfect.)

Step 3: Take each section and back-comb (tease) the top portions of each section, leaving out the ends.

Step 4: Begin wrapping each section around the other until you have a twisty pony tail. Then, gently twist the hair until it rolls onto itself, giving you a bun shape.

Step 5: Start pinning the loose ends into and underneath the bun with bobby pins, crossing them so they stay secure.

Step 6:  Spray your hair with a light hair spray.

Step 7 (Optional): If your chignon is not as messy as you'd like, you can pull out small, random pieces of hair and back comb them slightly.

Step 8 (Optional): If you have the time, and want to add something more to dress it up, this style looks perfect with a jeweled headband or an over-sized hair pin!
