We chose to leave the chignon quite messy for that tousled, low-maintenance vibe; but if you want something a little more polished for your prom then that’s easy too! Simply follow the steps as above, but take a little more time with the rolling step to ensure a super-neat, tight chignon. A strong hold hairspray will help prevent any flyaways or loose strands, while a shine spray will make the style glossy and glamorous.
Prom season is nearly upon us, and if you’re looking for an easy but super-chic DIY prom hairstyle then we’re here to help! We’ve created a series of prom hair tutorials that can all be recreated at home, using just a couple of styling products and your trusty ghds. Whether you’re after something long and glamorous or an elegant up-do, we’ll show you how to steal the show with our easy-to-follow prom style videos. This week, we’re kicking off the series with this low-maintenance rolled chignon style.
The chignon is a classic hair-up style that’s perfect for prom, but we’ve added a couple of twists to update the look. Follow our model Maria below and recreate this pretty but quirky style yourself.

Chic up-dos like this look best on hair that already has a slight wave. Before styling the chignon, Maria prepped her hair with a root-boosting spray mousse for thickness and hold and then added soft waves with the ghd Curve Classic Wand.
