The ballerina-style chignon, a timeless red carpet (and more)

Tall, very tight and without a tuft out of place: the chignon dancer style it is one of the simplest to make. Although in different styles, in Cannes they chose it, for example, Natasha Poly and Cara Delevigneas well as Toni Garrn.

The low version, often also called low top knot, it is ideal on a medium cut, but also for gathering XXL hair in more imaginative ways. The secret? Don’t miss a single strand. After brushing the hair, they collect behind the head, or to the side, near the neck, as it did Charlotte Casiraghi in Cannes on the red carpet of Brother & Sister, where he sported a sophisticated sculpture effect bun.

“I performed a perfect brushing, without creases,” he said John Nollet, who made it. “Then I did a precise tail, neither too low nor too high, which fixes the first part of the hairstyle, in order to create an aerial profile effect, then I rounded it at the ends so that it could well turn on itself and give life to this rotating bun ». A secret? “You don’t have to see any of the pins holding the bun up, it’s part of the delicacy of the result.”
If your hair is a bit rebellious, styling products like i are good allies discipliningand a touch of spray oil for an effect shining, like real stars.

The top knot informal perfect for hot days

For lovers of a more relaxed hair look but in line with current trends, the ideal is a deconstructed chignon. After drying, even natural considering the already high temperatures, one can be applied saline spray, working the hair with your hands to give the hair more texture. From here, a low and soft ponytail is created, the hair is rolled up on the elastic and the lengths are fixed with hairpins, perhaps leaving some strands free, for an effect on the go. If lengths allow, the chignon can also be tall, like the one spotted in Cannes on Kristen Stewarta top knot jaunty perfect for girls full of personality like her.

Similar choice for Alicia Vikander, but very tight. The top knot more classic does not go out of fashion, especially on the beach.

The harvest of Candice Swanepoelmade with a bun bun, while more alternative was the knot of another model, Frida Aasen: a real knot, as the name suggests.

To perform it, you start from a simple low ponytail and then slip the lengths into the elastic. Behind both hairlooks, Antoine Wauquier, who also thought of a more classic chignon for Aasen, on her second red carpet.
