Beauty Notes: DIY Simple Side Chignon

Project Fairytale: DIY Side Chignon

It’s time for a beauty DIY. I have a weakness for amber-colored hair, since my current color is somewhere around there (less red, more caramel like, but still, gorgeous – modesty has committed suicide today ;)). This is why I was instantly attracted to this beautiful hairstyle.

Project Fairytale: DIY Side Chignon

Step 1
Using a round brush, blow-dry hair smooth and straight, focusing on the top sections.

Step 2
Once dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down.

Step 3
Build height and volume at the crown by teasing hair gently with a fine-tooth comb.

Step 4
Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go.

Step 5
Once you reach your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls, and pin them back over the twist.

Step 6
Spritz strands in place. To add texture, gently curl and scrunch the wispy ends with your fingertips.
