The Chignon Pin: The Effortless Hair Accessory Celebrities Can’t Get Enough Of
The nonchalant chignon, sweeping fringe, and crisp all-white ensemble were chic enough, but it was Bella Hadid’s fresh hair colour that truly turned heads. Swapping her signature glossy chocolate lengths for a lighter, honey-blonde hue, Hadid’s new look radiates springtime freshness. The finishing touch? An understated yet essential chignon pin - the accessory behind that effortlessly elegant updo.
For those looking to recreate this look at home, the French hair pin - like our handmade U shaped pin - is your shortcut to chic. Whether you’re styling a messy chignon, a low twist, or a classic chignon updo, these pins offer the perfect blend of style and hold.
How to Do a Chignon: Celebrity-Inspired Styles for Every Day
Wondering how to do a chignon that looks as good as Bella Hadid’s or Kylie Jenner’s? The secret lies in choosing the right hairpins for hair type and style.
For fine hair: Our Small Square Hairpin is great for fine hair and designed to grip securely without slipping or damaging delicate strands. The French U-shape allows you to twist and secure hair effortlessly, creating volume where you need it.
For medium-length hair: Try an easy chignon for medium hair using a single U-shaped Hairpin. Simply twist your hair into a low bun at the nape of your neck, tuck the ends, and slide the pin through to hold it in place. Leave a few face-framing pieces loose for that relaxed, romantic feel.
For a messy chignon: Pull your hair into a low twist, allowing some strands to fall out naturally. Secure with a decorative hairpin or classic Ushaped pin for a look that’s deliberately undone.
