The low chignon was definitely the style to try for the 2011 Emmy Awards! Classic chignon hairstyles were donned everywhere by A-list actresses such as Rashida Jones, Minka Kelly, and Dianna Argon. Want to get the same chic look? Follow my easy instructions below for a classic chignon style!

Things you will need:
- Covered hair band/elastic
- Hair spray
- Hair pins or grips to match your hair color
- A paddle brush (always gives the smoothest results)
- Pin-tail comb (I prefer using a metal tail comb but a plastic tail comb will do)
Directions
1. Using a paddle brush, smooth your hair straight back
2. Gather at the nape of your neck into a low ponytail using your covered hair band
3. Split your ponytail in half
4. Use your comb to tease the two sections of hair you split
5. Take one of the sections and smooth out with the paddle brush
6. Twist under and secure with a large bobby pin
7. Repeat Step 5 & 6 with the other section
8. Smooth down stray hairs with a toothbrush
9. Hairspray
***For fine hair, try teasing lightly and smoothing before placing into low ponytail.
