Chignon XL: the impressive hairstyle for a sophisticated style

In the wake of the “volume” aesthetic for hair, the most requested for spring summer 2024, new hairstyles appear: extra volume buns, whose searches on Google have seen a 230% increase compared to last year. According to Daniel Maltoni, Creative Director Italia Bumble and Bumble, the volume hair trend has always existed and what we are seeing (on the catwalks first and foremost) has a strong appeal to 60’s, years in which the first ‘hairpieces’ applied to the head to recreate this effect appeared. Used a lot by actresses or elegant ladies of the time, who used them to be impeccable.

“The big bun is a very versatile hairstyle” underlines Daniel Maltoni Creative Director Italia Bumble and Bumble “like all chignons”

“Talking about this hairstyle we cannot fail to mention Amy Winehouse: it was she who brought him back from the ’60s to the present day, with a more rock & roll attitude, which fully reflected his music and his look.”

How is it accomplished?

“It depends a lot on the type of hair on which you want to create the hairstyle”, explains the expert. First of all, you need to comb them well to remove any knots; then pull your hair back. You move on to twisting your hair behind your neck, closing it in a circular shape. Finally, based on the desired volume, you can swell the hair or not and then position it either at the top or under the nape of the neck. Finally, it can be defined to make it elegant: well pulled, without hair falling out on the sides and head. Or, as I like it, you can ‘lighten it up’ a bit by using a light texture to make it softer, perhaps combining it with a fringe or locks to let fall over the face.”
