For our second Hair and Make-Up Master Class, we look at creating an elegant low bun – the classic chignon!

This style is an elegant and timeless bridal look and would suit a more formal wedding or a bride wanting to achieve a chic style. With images by Kate at Quince and Mulberry Studios, Beck from Step ‘N’ Out Hair and Body shows you how to create this look in a few easy steps.

1. Wash and dry hair.
