DIY side chignon


I never bother going over to Martha Stewart Weddings anymore, so I have to thank hip hip gin gin and {this is glamorous} for spotting this DIY side chignon.

Glamorous put together a lovely, streamlined version of the instructions so you don't have to click... click... click... click... while juggling your hairbrush, hairdryer, curling iron, hairspray, etc.

    Forget the chignon, I want that hair colour!

    btw how the heck do you pronounce chignon? Shee-non?

    I tried that diy guide for a wedding the other week. It didn't quite work out like hers (no doubt because my hair is longer and I didn't bother with the curling bit) but it looked nice.

    @Brigitta depends on how pretentious you want to be. I go halfway btwn these two pronunciations:

    I say it, sheen-yawn. (i.e. like the Merriam-Webster man!)

    I wear my hair like that at least once a week. No need for a curling iron. Just twist, pin, and go. Takes two minutes, tops.
