Easy Wedding Hairstyles Updo, How to Chignon Coiffure, Low Sock Bun

The most requested and popular wedding hairstyle updo is the classic, chic Chignon Coiffure bun, so I thought for this week's hair tutorial, I would show you how you can make a modern side Chignon updo hairstyle bun  (low Sock bun) on long to medium hair at home to wear to any formal occasion without spending a fortune at the hair salon.


Scroll down to the bottom of the page to watch my YouTube Chignon Coiffure Bun Hair Tutorial video instead?...

Step 1:
As always, doing updo hairstyle is easier on wavy hair, so curl your hair using a 1/2 inch curling iron if you have pin straight, or very slippery, heathy hair (Asian).  I used my trusty Cortex Curling Iron on my own hair. :)


Step 2: (look at the photos below, if you get confused - click to expand. :) )

• Tie the bottom half of your hair.
• Hair spray your hair to clean up the flyaways/baby hair.
• Tease the heck out of the pony tail.
• Smooth down the top layers with a brush.
• Gently roll down the hair and pin it to the low nape area.

 Step 3:
Get organized: clip away the wispy hairs you want to leave out of your Chignon updo.

I part my bangs on the right side, so if this is how you part yours, follow this tutorial - if you part it on the left side, do the opposite.

• Tease the heck out of your Crown area so that there is something for your bobby pins to grab onto.
• Smooth down the RIGHT side
• Hair spray
• Pin it to the back, right above where you made that small Chignon in step 2. 

Step 4: 

• Tease then smooth down the hair on the Crown .
• Bobby pin the Crown hair to the top of your head.   Pull up and puff up to create volume.
• Smooth down the Left side
• Now, grab the Crown Bundle and the Left Bundle and twist these 2 bundles together - twice.  Doing this should have given you some interesting effect to your Chignon Hairstyle Coiffure Updo and should have covered up the bobby pins.
• Clip the Crown bundle again to the top.
• Now, pin the Left bundle down.

Step 5:

• Tease the hair hanging down on your Right side
• Smooth down the top layers, and roll down to create a small Chignon bun - sock bun.
• Pin it down.

Do the same for the hair on the Left side.

Step 6:
Hairspray down all the flyaways.
And you're done, here is your easy, side Chignon bun updo (low sock bun)! :)
