A chignon is simple and easy-to-do

Create the perfect party style, guaranteed to stay in place through the duration of your Christmas party, as Michael Douglas,Silvikrin Style Director shows you how to create a loose chignon for the festive season.

This look is not only super chic, but it's incredibly easy to do. 

Watch the video below to see how quick and easy it is - practise makes perfect too. So, try it out before your big night to ensure you have the look perfected. 

Top tip: Take extra clips in your handbag too, in case some strands fall loose, especially with all of the dancing you'll be doing. 

How to: Loose Chignon

1.       Begin by blow drying the hair using a mousse to provide the perfect base for your do. I recommend the Silvikrin Anti-Ageing Mousse which delivers visibly more fullness, volume and shine!

2.       Gently backcomb small sections of hair at the roots, then use a bristle brush to smooth out the surface of the hair

3.       Tie a loose ponytail in your desired position, low in the nape behind your ear

4.       Using grips, gradually pin the mid-length of your ponytail round onto itself, creating a low chignon

5.       Each time you do this, the style will look slightly different so if at first it doesn’t look quite right, take the pins out and try again until it’s perfect

6.       Finally to hold your style in place, finish off with hairspray. This will also keep any loose strands off the face
