The Classic Bride Hair: Relaxed and Fluffy Chignon
A low bun chignon is the classic bridal hair style for weddings♡
Recently, natural style chignons with a relaxed and fluffy feel have become very popular*
Many brides will likely choose this [relaxed and fluffy chignon] at least once for their pre-wedding photos, ceremony, reception, outfit change, or after-party♡
It's Important to Know Three Tips!
However, brides who have tried to do a chignon self-arrangement at home might understand...
A well-done, fluffy and cute chignon is surprisingly difficult to create!
It's tough just to curl the hair properly, and once tied, it can end up looking too rigid, resembling traditional Japanese hairstyles, or may have a bouncy, unrefined look... which can happen often.
Therefore, when asking a hair and makeup artist for your wedding, it’s very important to add more specific instructions to “make it look relaxed and fluffy!” to ensure you get the chignon you envision*
In this article, I will share three tips for creating a trendy and cute relaxed and fluffy chignon♩
Tip 1: Fluff Up the Top
The first tip for making a relaxed and fluffy chignon is to add volume to the hair at the top♡
This enhances the overall look and adds a glamorous feel that is current and stylish*
For arranging, it's recommended to create waves at the roots, as this naturally increases the fluffiness♡
Recently, I've also seen arrangements where, instead of waves, the hair is almost uncurled and loosely wavy side to side*
The natural movement, as if blown by the wind, is very fashionable♡
Tip 2: Create Face-Framing Strands
Don't forget that creating face-framing strands is an important point in making a relaxed and fluffy chignon♡
Add a suitable amount of face-framing strands around the face and tuck them in a twirl*
The more strands you have, the greater the small face effect; fewer strands create a delicate and fragile atmosphere◎
If you want to maintain a relaxed vibe from behind as well, consider a hair arrangement that includes strands from beneath the bun♡
The intentional looseness and the soft strands flowing over white skin is both modern and cute*
Tip 3: Hide the Ears
The third tip for creating a relaxed and fluffy chignon is to cover the ears with hair♡
Of course, you can create a casual chignon with your ears exposed, but this tends to give a more polished look around the face.
So, by hiding the ears in this way, it will further enhance the cute, fluffy, and translucent hairstyle for bridal wear♡
Instead of completely hiding the ears, softly cover about the upper half, which also allows your earrings or studs to be properly showcased, so it is recommended♡
Aim for a Relaxed and Fluffy Chignon that Everyone Admires♡

Of course, these tips are also applicable when requesting a ponytail, Rapunzel hair, or bun hairstyles, or even when doing your hair at home, so it might be handy to remember them♩
