Here are five different ways to achieve a beautiful chignon on natural hair!
1. Low Twisted Chignon
This low, twisted chignon is really simply to create.  Start on hair that has been stretched via banding, blow dry, roller set, or African threading.  There is no need to apply additional product, unless desired.

2. Low Textured Side Bun
This low textured bun is another way to achieve the look of a beautiful chignon.  Start on hair that has been stretched but still retains texture.  For you finger stylers, no combs or brushes are necessary for this look.
