The popular hairstyle, known as the topknot, has been seen all over for the past few years, so it seems right that it starts moving away. Recently, a beautiful, but simple hairstyle, the low chignon, looks like it deserves the spotlight. It is chic, and works on every woman, regardless or hair color and texture. Jillian Villafane, a makeup and hair stylist, lends her tips that will help everybody to achieve this polished look.
1. To get this look right, you start with dry hair. After smoothing out any tangles with a comb, apply an anti-frizz serum.
2. Part your hair down the center, and brush it into a low ponytail. The secure it at the nape of your neck.
3. Wrap the ponytail around its base. Afterward, tie a second elastic around the bun.
4. Secure the sides of the bun with bobby pins, tucking them into the bun, to pull it closer to your head and hide any elastic that may be showing.
5. Using your fingers, pull a few short strands out of the bun, to create a messy look. To set the hairstyle, spray the hair lightly with hairspray and go out on the town!
