The chignon is a hairstyle that is obtained by gathering the hair in a knot at the nape of the neck , but not everyone knows that it can be done in many different ways ! High or low, banana, messy or elegant are just some of the styles.
We have collected many pictures and ideas with tutorials to learn how to do the bun even if you have little time! It is the perfect collected hairstyle to be refined, feminine and trendy in just a few steps!
The low chignon is the most classic version of this hairstyle and is done on the back of the neck. It is no coincidence that the term "chignon", which derives from the French , means bun of hair gathered or knotted at the nape of the neck. Those who prefer English call it "low bun" but what really matters is that it can be done in different and beautiful ways. We can create a soft low chignon with simple twists or embellish it with braids and more complex knots and weaves. For those with a broad forehead or who want to minimize large ears , just leave a few strands free around the face. And for a special occasion, go for a look with jeweled claspson the nape or with more bon ton floral inserts .
How to create more casual and cheeky daytime chignon hairstyles? The very high 90s style high chignon or top bun is perfect for adding an easy chic accent to the look. We can show it off with bangs or with the long tuft combed forward to minimize the high forehead. It is also a perfect expedient to make cheekbones appear less angular and especially enhance the heart-shaped face . Also in this case we can easily transform the hairstyle into an elegant hairstyle by adding precious pins and clips to the mix, or maybe a satin ribbon if we love preppy accents !
Who among us doesn't have a thing for braid hairstyles ? Romantic and hyper feminine, braids can be combined with hairstyles gathered in different ways. The bun, for example, can be embellished with a French braid on the head or with classic Dutch braids on the nape to be connected to the final crop, a perfect look even for a little girl . The looks with a crown braid are very chic, but also those with a side wheat ear braid , to be combined if you want with a light fluffy crest on the head.
Among the hairstyles with chignon, the soft ones are among the most beautiful and appreciated , with a fresh and jaunty result. High and very loose curls are ideal for making fine hair appear more voluminous . For an excellent result, the locks should not be pulled excessively, on the contrary, a not too tidy look is the goal of this hairstyle. We then widen the twists and weaves of our bun and leave several strands free, to be taken up with a curling iron to create soft natural curls that frame the face.
How is the bun done? Here are the most interesting tutorials that teach us how to make a crop in a short time at home even if you are not expert and have little manual skills. We can start with fixing the front strands after making some light twists , but we can also start with two tails on the nape . By following the steps step by step we will get lively and feminine looks in a few steps, perfect hairstyles for work, school but also for more elegant occasions, for example a romantic dinner!

For those with curly and wavy hair, the messy effect will be more natural. The high or low bun in this case becomes the perfect way to keep our rebellious curls in order without having to pull them too much and therefore ruin their shape. For lovers of boho chic touches we recommend adding a flower in their hair. But we can also focus on side crops or more youthful high top buns, from which to leave some strands free to give a more romantic accent to the hairstyle. Did you love these looks?

Crowns and jewel tiaras , or floral headbands or clasps in shades of white.

Semi-gathered hairstyles can easily be spiced up by a simple high bun. It is also often worn by men (men's chignon ), known precisely as the top knot , more often combined with the shaved lower part of the hair. The female version is a semi-harvest that includes a bun on the upper part of the head, also called a half bun , perfect for the nostalgic of the 90s ! It is easily made starting from a high tail on the head that we will then roll up on itself. We can also help with a donut elastic to create a more elaborate look, or we can add pigtails and small twists on the top of the head.
If, on the other hand, we have more time available, then we can indulge ourselves by trying more original and characteristic hairstyles. From those with weaves to sophisticated slightly asymmetrical hairstyles with locks that wrap around the base hiding hairpins and rubber bands. We can also opt for particular feminine hairstyles with single or double swirls and spirals behind the head, to be embellished with colored or metallic inserts. An idea to amaze is the triple chignon!
They call it ballet bun , a sports crop that is combing par excellence of the dancers ballet . It is also used by rhythmic gymnasts and ice skaters. Let's talk about the variant with perfectly combed and pulled back hair, kept in style if we want also with hairspray, gel or other fixing products. It is certainly the tidier and more formal version, ideal for straight hair. But with the right precautions, for example weaves and particular twists, we can get a less austere and more jaunty look, an onion hairstyle in full Parisian style to show off at school or at work every day. This hairstyle can be customized with rigid headbands or decorated headbands, transforming it into a wedding look in just a few steps .
If we have medium hair , we can achieve a refined crop not too different from what we have seen so far, with the difference that we will get less desired. But even in this case a bow or some inserts on one side of the bun will be the perfect solution to make the look more refined. Can you make a bun with short hair ? Of course, as long as it is bob hair ! We can get a very chic gathered effect by rolling the locks on themselves behind the neck, tying them in small tails and making small twists to be fixed with a few hairpins.
Do you want to experiment with more cheerful girl looks? Here are the double buns , also called space buns when they are made on the top of the head, a trend that is very popular among influencers! It is a double chignon made from a central line and two tails. We can customize them by adding braids to the base or leaving some strands free on the face and even arranging accessories with rhinestones along the central part. And for those who love the pigtail style , here are the low buns on the nape, to be livened up even with locks rolled up on themselves starting from the forehead.
A donut elastic is all we need to make a voluminous and princely crop. All we need to do is start from a tail and use the shape of the elastic to create a perfectly round bun. We can then customize the look by adding some crown strands rolled around themselves. Or we can combine the bun with a Dutch braid on one side to give it a more romantic touch.
Do we dream of sporting a Brigitte Bardot look ? It was the legendary BB that launched the messy bun trend in the 1950s, fresh, casual with a lively, fake disheveled effect . High or low, side , with bangs or with locks left free at the base and sides, they are very easy DIY hairstyles to make at home. Perfect to show off in spring or summer for example with a bun braided scarf, or with a headband to tie in a bow under the crop! And for a more elegant occasion, we cannot do without headbands and jewel applications to always wear as a crown.
