Hair - Adding Accessories

Equipment:

• Denman Brush
• Pintail comb
• Kirby grips
• Hair bands
• Fine pins
• Sectioning clips
• Jewellery/Fabrics
• Curling tongs

Steps: Chignon with Accessories:

1. Separate the front sections of the hair by the ears all the way around to the other side. Clip up the front sections out the way. 
2. Place the remaining hair into a ponytail and backcomb the roots very gently. 
3. Bring the ends of the hair and roll it up into the ponytail and secure with kirby grips. Cross grip to secure into place.
4. Bring the front sections round by either twisting or plaiting into the back of the hair and secure with fine pins so they cannot be seen. 
5. Decorate with jewellery and/or fabrics. 

Steps: Messy Chignon:

1. Separate the front sections of the hair by the ears all the way around to the other side. Clip up the front sections out the way. 
2. Split the back of the hair in half horizontally and place into two ponytails. 
3. Curl a few sections of the ponytail so the ends are curled, making it easier to pin into curls. Keep working round the pieces you clip, building it up into a messy chignon.
4. Add twist jewels or accessories to decorate. 

Overall, I have really enjoyed this lesson. It was fun to create a traditionally neat chignon and then create a casual and messy one. I enjoyed decorating them with jewellery and accessories as they were a nice finishing touch.
