5. Low Braided Crown Chignon with Sleek Edges
How to Make
Combining structured scalp braiding with a low protective tuck, this chignon style keeps coily ends safely covered while providing high visual texture. Part damp, lubricated hair cleanly down the center from front hairline to the nape of the neck, securing one side out of the way. On the active side, construct a thick Dutch braid starting at the front temple and moving downward along the hairline toward the lower nape. Repeat the braiding process on the opposite side until both braids meet at the base of the neck. Combine the loose ends of both braids into a single low bundle using a small elastic band. Roll the braided ends upward underneath the meeting point, forming a dense, horizontal chignon anchored securely with several sturdy hairpins inserted deeply along the base.
