Summer Hair Series: the messy chignon

source

I LOVE this hairstyle! And I LOVE that there are so many variations!  I think we all grew up thinking of a chignon as the "banana bun"...a twist that was pinned vertically to our heads.  Well, the chignon has evolved into a multitude of different looks.  Definitely going to be wearing a chignon this week.   Hopefully, it will be a tad easier than the waterfall braid : )

The great thing about the chignon is that it looks like it is virtually impossible to mess up.  Each one looks entirely different.  You can find a couple different tutorials here and here.
