These 20 Chignon Ideas Are Perfect For Your Next Formal Occassion

Even without accessories or braids, a chignon can elevate your look and make you look instantly polished and sophisticated. Previously, hairstylist J.D. of Juan Juan Salon in Beverly Hills told POPSUGAR that she recommends those with straight hair add some curl to it and tease the roots before styling this look off-centre and securing it with bobby pins.

If you rather add some more dimension to the look, you can add braids to your chignon. Whether you choose to do a crown braid around your head and into the bun, or just braid the base of your ponytail before pinning it up is up to you.

Add some glamorous accents to your chignon by incorporating sparkling hair accessories. You can add a headband across the top of your head or above your bun, or use pins at the base of the style to dress it up.

If you're attending a Spring or Summer wedding or are simply a flower child at heart, consider incorporating fresh-plants or floral-inspired hair accessories to your chignon. You can place them near your face, behind your ear, or at the base of the style.
