Four Steps To A Perfect Chignon

One of the easiest ways to get spruced up for a night out on the town is tying your hair back into a simple updo. Instead of pulling it back into something restricting (read: complicated, time consuming and only for professionals), try on a soft chignon like Emma Stone’s for size. Ashley Hanna-Pisciotta, hairstylist from Mizu NY, told our friends at StyleCaster how to get this chic style in just a few quick steps.

Step 1:

Part hair completely down the center and pick a side for the chignon to rest on. Pull hair to one side and create two ponytails, one in each hand.
