We decided to show you how to do a quick and easy updo that looks very classy, and is perfect for Prom, Homecoming, communions, weddings, etc.
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHBraidWrapChignon
It uses a tucked ratted ponytail to create the Chignon, and all you do is wrap it with two simple micro braids {which are from right behind the ears}.
Enjoy!
Hi, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls, Hairstyles. And one of the things we get asked a lot for is updos., So today we're demo a really fun updo for you that I'm calling the braid-wrapped chignon.. So here we go. OK., I'm going to start. Her hair's just straight today, but if you have naturally soft curls or you just want to wash them and blow dry, I think it's fine.. I'Ve done it on both and it looks great either way., I'm going to start by just picking up a section of hair right behind her ears. And going up. Not right behind her ears, but starting at her ear. And going up. Hold that for me.. I'M going to do the same thing on the other, side. OK. And just simply pull them back loosely. And then take an elastic and secure them. You're going to want to leave a little space.. You can see there's some space right, there. I'm doing it loose on purpose., So we're going to utilize that space right there. OK.. Now you can see. I have sectioned off a little chunk of hair right behind each ear and braided it. And those are going to become the wraps for the chignon.. I already did it just to speed things up a little. So section a piece of hair off braid them.. Now you're going to take this part of your ponytail is going to become your stuffing., So you just want to tease it until it's nice and fluffy. And it's going to add a little fullness inside you chignon when you're done with it. OK.. When you get that teased the way you want it, take the rest of the hair and put an elastic just a few inches from the bottom.. Now you're going to take the hair -- one doesn't want to cooperate. --, tuck., OK. Stuff, the corner in.! Do you have a bobby And then bobby, pin into place.? Oh, that's so much better., Another bobby please. OK. We're going to do the same thing on this side. Just tuck, some of those side pieces up. So it tightens it down a little. Bobby., Pinning those down into place., And I think maybe one more. There. We go. OK. Now we're going to take our braids and we're just simply going to lay them over the top and wrap them underneath., And then we're going to tuck them into each other. And underneath the hair bobby, pin them in place.. And I don't think you can see me very well in those, but I'm just hiding the ends into each other and then bobby pinning them into place.. Now, if you have little pieces just go ahead and fix., You can add as many bobby pins as you feel like you need, or want till you get the look you're going for. And then, of course, just hairspray to control any flyaways., And there you go. Nice Fun updo. Quite easy., Quite simple. Looks good on straight or curly hair. And you're ready to go.

lydalfa: Ah, I already figured this one out myself, only without the braids. You can also put an ornament on top of the chignon, there where you wrap the hair behind the 'ponytail'.
