We gotta Chignon Craze going on!

There seems to be a super craze going on for the classic chignon! Everybody has been seen with the hairstyle this spring!


First we seen it on the runways in Prada's 2010 Fall Collection to the red carpet event's of the Oscars, Golden Globes and other celebrity filled bashes! The chignon craze is being rocked to super heights of the hairstyle trend! 


The best thing about the chignon, is how easy it is to do. And even if you can't get it super perfectly smooth - that's even better, as the new craze for chignon's is "messed up".


The best thing about the chignon is how people are wearing it to the side with loads of volume, Cheryl Cole rocked this look at the launch of her first single as a solo artist, "Fight for This Love" in the October 2009 X Factor Live Results Show.


The Chignon is a super classy versatile hairstyle, that suits anyone regardless of face type or hair length. This season's chignon is worn messed up and mostly at a low point on the head or to the side of the head.


Check out my youtube channel on how to achieve a super sultry textured retro waved chignon like Amanda Seyfried has been sporting recently.




Miley Cyrus wore a really downplayed textured chignon at the 2010 Oscars and it was super sexy and made her look so much more grown up.
I loved it!

It's a really quick and easy way to do your hair for any occasion!

Chunky Braided Headband


I seen this chunky plaited headband on www.hothair.co.uk , it's an absolute bargain and a really quick, easy way to do your hair.


Another tip is, if you have a set of clip in hair extensions, why not braid them and pin each end securely into your hair? save you spending anything at all lol

Another Fabulous Becki Newton Hairstyle

I'm in love with Becki Newton's hair on Ugly Betty - whoever is styling it is a genius! I know I have said it before but wow, that is some designing of the braid around Becki's head, it's just fabulous!



I couldn't get a right hand side shot of the style, but it's pretty amazing! I had a go at recreating the style myself, check out the video down below!




Enjoy! xx

Becki Newton Hair Tutorial


I love watching Ugly Betty, even more - I'm obsessed with Amanda's (AKA Becki Newton's) hairstyles on the show! This season has seen Amanda's hair fantastically styled! I especially loved this braided hairstyle;

This hairstyle is so versatile, you could wear it on a night out, into work or just to lunch. It's something really simple with a beautiful twist. I have created a youtube video on how to achieve this hairstyle  here

I hope you enjoy! It's not exactly the same as Becki's Hair but it will show you how to achieve something similar to her hair style!
