Here's how my chignon looked — it only took two minutes to create. I didn't need any extra bobby pins and it stayed in place all day long!

A few tips to remember:
  • If your hair is fine or you just washed it, spritz in a texturizing product.
  • You do not need a ponytail holder or any extra pins or accessories to create this easy updo.
  • To create a French twist style, arrange your bun vertically and twist pins in.
  • To create a side bun, start with your ponytail on the side.
  • Twist pins in clockwise. Remove them counterclockwise.
  • Do not interlock the pins.
  • Your updo doesn't have to be perfect. A few loose tendrils in the front or back make it more stylish.
The Goody Spin Pin is available online and at drugstores nationwide.
