It was chignon the hairstyle symbol of the last Cannes Film Festival. The most classic of harvests has imposed itself without too much effort, thanks to its almost infinite variations. They have seen some very tight, rigorous and geometricbut there was no shortage of versions messy and more saucy. A real kaleidoscope of ideas, all to be copied for the upcoming summer.
Turn off the spotlight and put aside jewels and long dresses, what could be better than a crop to face the hottest days with nonchalance? Chic with city outfits, comfortable around the world, absolutely easy on the beach, the chignon is perfect for any occasion.
Here are the most beautiful inspirations spotted on the red carpet. And their secrets.
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.

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.

John Phillips / Getty Images“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.

The most chic inspirations for summer evenings
Not only beach and comfort, of course, live the summer. Aperitifs, evenings out and special occasions are never lacking, why not combine the practicality of a warm harvest with a sure wow effect? On the croisette he provided a splendid example Bella Hadid, with an intertwined crop to be copied. To make it happen, the hairstylist Evanie Frausto.

No doubt about the most popular hairstyle of the Festival. The chignon has won over, and is a candidate to become the irresistible must for the next few weeks. All that remains is to start practicing.
