How to Create a Chic Knotted Chignon in 7 Simple Steps

Wishing that you had a new updo style to rock? I have just the thing for you! Creating this pretty low bun is as simple as tying a knot. All you need to create this style is pomade or wax, small hair bands, bobby pins, a hand mirror, and a good finishing spray. Tying strands of hair into knots can be tricky to master, but with enough product and a little practice, this updo should take you under 15 minutes to create. Having a little grit and texture in your hair helps, so start with it unwashed. If your hair is clean, you will simply need to add more product to help keep strands easy to manage. Hair can be straight or curly, but note that if your hair is naturally frizzy, you may want to smooth it out beforehand with a round brush, blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron. The trick to tying clean knots is to smooth the strands first with plenty of pomade or wax to keep them together and neat. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to create the knotted chignon! - Sonya Lee Benham
