How to Flirty Updo

The chignon hairstyles shouldn’t be all strict and formal. You can create a casual chignon, a date chignon or just a flirty updo which will match to your joyful mood. Check out my suggestion and you can decide if you want to have such a hairstyle or not. But if you want it, you will see how easy it is to create it. The greatest thing about this hairstyle is the fact that if can work both for long hairs and short hairs, as long as the length allows to make a simple braid. So, take a look at the steps and enjoy your self-time in front of the mirror. Here we go:

First, you have to make sure that your hair looks good. The hairstyle is sleek, but it won’t look good if your roots are greasy and shiny because of your too oily scalp (in fact, you must do something about it, you can’t wash your hair every day, the water will damage it deeply). So, instead of washing it, you should apply dry shampoo, if only the roots are oily, if not, move to the next step, which is braiding the hair into two low&back regular braids.

Then, let's boots up the texture of the braids by pulling the strands a little bit before securing the braid with hair band. Repeat the same boosting-up step to the other braid.

Then tie their ends with thin, elastic bands.

Tie the braids into a knot.

Tie the braids into several knots until you run out of length.

Shape the knots into a bun and secure it with bobby pins.

A Tip: you can spritz the bobby pins with hair spray, let it dry a little bit for a couple of seconds and then put them in the hair. This little trick will guarantee you a more stable bun.

Done!
