I tried a new beehive hair style this week with a mesh chignon form. It literally takes about two minutes to do and it's one of my new go-to hair styles
bobby pins
one mesh chignon form mine is from Hot Buns
hair brush
hair spray (optional)
start with hair parted however you like
brush the hair from the crown forward and pin the bun form to your crown. I do a pin at each side and one in the middle
Brush all of your hair back and over the form. If your hair is slippery, you can use a teasing comb like mine from Sally's to give it a little grip. You don't have to tease too much here.
grab the back of your hair and gather it as if you're doing a pony tail. Twist it, fold up and tuck the ends in and pin in place with bobby pins or a hair comb.
If your bangs don't want to sweep to the side like mine, show them who's boss with the teasing comb and a little hair spray.
This is all kinds of fabulous!!! I love voluminous hairstyles and think they tend to look more becoming on many people than flat 'dos (there's something almost mildly face lifting-ish about a tall hairstyle).

That is lovely my dear! I have one of those and I never would have thought to use it that way. I can't wait to try it!

This looks really lovely. You are such a cutie. :)
ReplyDeleteIf my hair ever dares to grow.. I will make this.
ReplyDeleteRight now, it's a far cry - but, I dont' mind. I'm "that girl that bobbed her hair" right now. :D

And "bam" there's a beehive! That looks gorgeous! As soon as it stops being arctic out here (and I stop wearing two hats at all times) I might have to try this!
ReplyDeleteYou're so inventive with your hairstyling -- I'm in awe! 90% of my hairstyling as a teen involved throwing my brush across the room and threatening my hair with a buzzcut. :-P
That looks fantastic, great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep an eye open for a chignon bun! I haven't been online for awhile and have just seen your hair color, it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'll have to give it a try! X
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous darling! And I love your tutorial.. just tried to find a chignon form like yours on eBay or amazon but not having success �� might have to check Sally’s. Because I want to look as stunning as you! ��
