How to Style a Modern Chignon with Ted Gibson

[EpicSaxPerson]

Ted Gibson went to my high school. :I

[irishinnocence]

This is not a chignon.

This is a ghetto bun. Every white girl does this after 2 hours in the club.

[HORSELOVE59]

"Saturating every strand..."

Only rubs it on top... -.-

[jessiwhoo]

This is not a chignon. A chignon is worn low at the nape of the neck not on the crown of the head.

[lasxladronas93]

I love it. Very modernly chic.

[LatteCafe82]

If I had her hair texture, I would skip the flat iron. Especially if I had the length to pin up and I just wanted to finger comb it. And if I wanted to keep texture in it, like he says. Otherwise, love the 'do, and like Ted Gibson.

[megancgary1]

Why would I flat iron my hair just to throw it up and make it look messy? I do this with my hair when I'm cleaning my house and need it out of my face. Since when does lazy hair do's look good?

[caitthestoner]

Does anyone else see he's just promoting his own product?

[ishojtester]

@caitthestoner I guess you're either too young to understand the meaning behind marketing or simply just ignorant. Every hairstylist with their own products PROMOTES their own products. Why? Hmm try and guess.

[GadBoDag]

@yumjello15 Probably meant 1/2 inch thick?

[brittaneynetter]

I agree that if I straighten my hair, I guarantee that I won't be throwing it up like a school girl on the way to volleyball practive. I'm still trying to figure out when a "throw up" to go to the grocery store became "cool" to wear to a formal event. Maybe it's just me.

[JumanahCupcake]

-_-

[MiaVitaBella]

I love it!

[immy97]

THIS IS BULL SHIT

[Gootch82]

it only looks good because the female looks good.

[roxy72]

Those sheets (used at the beginning) are weird...seems wasteful, just use product from a bottle, you know?

[berte121]

verry good!

[MsVampiRose]

chignon suena a chingon XD

[DreadHernandez]

Luv it..an its so easy to do. It looks modern and polish all together. Awsome! =)

[jawaheria1]

If you guys cant pronounce that word then you can easily say MESSY BUN. lol just kidding xD

[97marwa]

i hate is hair

[Gootch82]

the girl in that video is very attractive

[theosplaceinc]

Ted Gibson is an amazing stylist

[smartiescribblez]

i like @2:20ish when he's like wiggling his fingers before he starts fixing her hair...it's like he's about to enjoy a snack

[Greenhearts4me]

@Lovecritters10.... What u see at the store is called a bunjee cord!! Hence the name hair bunjee ;)

[caetivelz]

I thought the model is Kimora Lee Simons.. LOL dang!

[shannonlw4ever]

I enjoyed meeting Ted Gibson about 12yrs ago, I took an Aveda cutting class he was teaching, he's a pretty funny guy.... He want to flip my client over to see how square my square cut really was....I'm glad to see that he is doing well for himself.

[victoriaindigo]

@shannonlw4ever I can see why he does celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway. He's so professional and personable. You're so lucky to have trained in his class!

[kaorimaiko]

that sir.. is not a chingnon.. it's a bun.. a messy bun.. or beehive esque...bun.. ick..

[FREAKODEAKO]

this is what i wear to gym class. i wouldn't call this a chignon or whatever, i would call it a "gym class bun" or "i need to quickly run to the grocery store bun"

[browneyedgirlllll]

I just think it's really funny when people straighten or curl their hair just to put it up in a bun...if I straighten or curl my hair, you better bet I'm wearing it down.

[ninjakittyX]

@browneyedgirlllll i hate that soo much!

why damage you hair when you dont need to?!?!

[RElizabeth43]

@browneyedgirlllll well sometimes i like to straighten my hair when i want to wear it up. i have frizzy wavy hair and if i want i really sleek ponytail, yeah....im going to straighten my hair, or really any updo that i dont want to be messy, wavy and frizzy..... what are YOU talking about?? ....

[nickyebug]

This is not a Chignon. This is a bun.

[MissEllolisoss]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[Kx1942O2212]

Lovely. It's a shame I cut my hair. XD

[LiviesLuvh]

@Kx1942O2212 short hair's awesome

[mddermy]

gorgeous

[bdjola007]

It looks very shaky(((( when she would walk, turn her head - hair gets messed up... so...I don't like it. Any girl can do it by herself and even better)

[caminoenamor44]

where do i get a hair bungee?

[lovecritters10]

That bungie looks likea miniture version of a cable (don't know the specific name) that I've seen in automotive/hardware stores!

[musicjunkieism]

great tips, but the temperature setting on that flat iron reminds me of my oven

[lostage]

Good Post!

[mochiecutie]

lols...messy much?

[kkgirl1128]

where do u get tht bungey thingy?

[bhelliom3]

What do you know. A professional stylist knows how to do a messy bun. I'm surprised.

[mreinstein48]

Very elegant! Congrats

[chicababyphat]

That was really kool I like it

[flip4myffpm]

I LOVE THIS!

[hilarychloebelf]

lol ive been doing this along time - all i do is try to make it look right and it comes out all fuzzy rough and celeb =p

[23metzie]

I'm loving the style . I do want to try it !

[123steph45]

You are the best !!!!! I love the style.

[MsImankhan]

is this girl black?she looks vvery attractive and beautifull anyway.

[cate2728]

I like it! It's just an easy way for something cute I don't see why everyone hates it?

[divacoif]

CHOOOOOF

[e5vos]

celebrity? housekeeper.

He can't use hair-clips

[missartist123]

That looks like the exact same hairstyle I got when my mom forced me to get my hair done at walmart for homecoming.

[RachelLowKL]

He said "an-nie" hathaway. is that the right way of saying her name?

[msctfxcandmessi]

@RachelLowKL no its jst ann hathaway 

[Rozefreak]

@RachelLowKL

i don't think so

it's [ann], isn't it?

[katheyleen]

That's what my hair looks like when I throw it up in a messy, quick bun to wash my face. =P

[Luna983]

Great...love it!

[Loveisit15]

Great! I wanna see one for curly hair bc im not straightening my hair just for a bun :)

[sasbilahlek]

Oh My Holly God, The woman in this video has exactly same brows, eyes, nose, lips, face structure and even the mimic same with me.....

[dlaphy]

@sasbilahlek KJ IJ

[sasbilahlek]

Oh My Holly God, The woman in this video has exactly same brows, eyes, nose, lips, face structure and even the mimic with me.....So it's true, we all have our twins at least 7 in this world, and I found 1 of them !

[itislisy]

I look like a celebrity everyday then!... didn't even know it..lol thanks for the name though I thought it was just a lazy bun!

[DjChristel]

is it possible to do a chignon if you have really long hair?

[lokita747]

the girl is beautiful.

[SlightlyNuwanda]

@lokita747

I always do a chignon with my hair and I've very very long hair!

It's a bit lower tough, or it'd seem you have a sort of watermelon right on the top of your head

[MrKiara96]

bellissimooooooooooooooooo!!!! 

[GirlRobotK]

the hair is terrible o_o!!!

[rodica69]

so very handy and gentle touch for such a big guy.

me like him.

[MrsLuisaHarkey]

i9t wasnt necessary to flatiron her hair for the britney-spears-look..lol..hell­s naw..

[Rainhylda]

Ew flat iron. Sure, go ahead and fry her hair.

[Dabiwka]

I liked;)

[ginadoro]

i don't like anymore this kind of hairstyle ! is not showing anymore a good hair look-just a foolish work

[scorpiomooselove]

@N3M0WW agreed haha. his french pronounciation is kind of crappy but it looks good, so i guess it doesnt matter :D

[TheWildflower73]

This was pathetic. I am so unimpressed, just as I was with the Kate G. hair extensions. Great Lengths don't take as much time to install as TG's salon took, not even close! And the cut, brutal!

[OMGitsBELLAx3]

this is awesome :)

[YTfancol]

Unimpressive .

[mandarynka134]

Beautiful girl!

[PainfullyBeautiful]

Just one big sales pitch...

[bigbrillohead]

Lemme see if I understand this.... he flat-irons out all her natural curls ("natural texture" as he calls them) so that it will be perfectly "smooth" and "shiny" and "beautiful" (his word). But he does NOT use a comb/brush when making the ponytail, because you "don't want it to be completely smooth and straight because it starts to look like a princess rather than a modern, really beautiful interpretation of that."

Which is beautiful... smooth/straight or NOT smooth/straight?

DOUBLETALK!!!

[marshmom2001]

Crappy.

[hospitalish]

You are great hair dresser...amazing...

[chocolate00thunder]

Fabulous

[62tako]

c magnifik jadore les cheveu du model mai graaaveee

[smartgrrl8]

@BeeBuzzy100 I'm sure. Beats me why stylists always use those instead. The only thing I can figure is that maybe it lets you adjust the tightness of the band without looping the hair through it so many times?

[kimmyfox76]

DAMAGING!!

[djavonespava]

beautiful ;))

[YayFlannigan]

its reli beautiful but it is just a big bun :P

[noiretbeau]

I saw those little bungee bands at Sally's Beauty supply today.

[Kx1942O2212]

Must.. have.. the bungee! :D

[Chasems97]

isn't this just a messy bun?

[tezilable]

@Chasems97 Yes, yes it is. But I guess you gotta be a celebrity stylist to make the mundane fabulous. What a crock! I hate these people that try to brainwash the masses into thinking that something is hot when it actually is not.

[whygeorgia10]

LOL he calls her Annie Hathaway

[bradleasays]

maybe that's what she prefers to be called, who knows

[whygeorgia10]

i love this guy

[iliktodostupidthings]

this looks so easy when hes doing it ... lol

[bellacnella18]

all of this looks extremely damaging

[Aquaria2291]

I personally love Ted Gibson...I think he's a great stylist.

But oh hell no, the man's prices are crazy, I'm not going to him for a messy bun. onoes. no ma'am Thanks for sharing though.

[17sunnyhour]

@Aquaria2291

I wish the camera man would stay STILL!

[jamardjk]

@Aquaria2291 chile

[erosjan]

simple and beautiful thanks for sharing

xx

[11iloveshawnmichaels]

omg i can do this sooooooooooooo easy :)

[mspeaaaax]

where can I get thosee little hair sheets ?!

[ForYouchube]

i got mine from victorias secret but they actually made my hair greasy

[xecyta030281]

That is really, really bad!

It's Very Ugly

[evachocolate97]

It's great !!!!!!!

[SxcPari]

I have tried this style and i cant seem to get my hair to look like that but overall the style is very sexy and modern - great for the office!

[VictorLooser]

magic

[chocolatecakecutie]

Umm.. what is that suposed 2 be- the best way 2 do a bun is using a sock- no joke

[desomar09]

how !!?

[ouarda547]

@MlleRoseC

ah nan moi jsuis pas du tout d'accord avec toi j'habite à Paris aussi mais je trouve que ce chignon est simple moderne et chic à la fois après je ne dis pas que c'est le meilleur chignon du monde mais il est très beau!!!!

And in ENGLISH!!!! I live in paris too and I think that this is a beautiful chignon simple, modern and chic!!!!!

[punni71]

what you tellin as the other way .....is what you can get by slepping ....lolzzzzzzzz

[KateKravecki]

I absolutely love it

[carmen4222]

Espero que sepas hacer cosas más bonitas porque vamos!!!!!!,un niño hace eso.

[DesignEntice]

This is TOTALLY CUTE!! I have to do hair for a wedding this weekend & I think I might use this style! Thanks alot TED!

~ALOHA!

[fucked444]

[danniigurl111]

[66kittykat]

[nightime1000]

370 degrees gosh what are u baking chicken. lol

[charliesmom111509]

OMG i always do my hair like this but just using a diffrent technique that would take me alot longer. Now i use this technique & its so much faster & better looking... i love it

[martoufmarty]

It just looks messy to me...

[jaurre2007]

Stop hatein on the man do you thang Gib

[Chiqui8Oreos]

[SunniKnight]

[omglolwtfstfubbq]

Ah he's using a mason pearson! I love mine. Guys, it's the only brush you will ever need. Thanks for the tutorial it was really helpful.

[blablabeatz]

thanks soooo much for sharing....

[305092366]

[TaTiBeTcH]

[sakkara111]

[yazoo213]

[MDSV47]

I love the texture.

[k3ls3ybabi]

thats cute!

[laladysara]

thats sooo pretty! and is not really formal so i can do it to go to the store or whatever. thank you! its gorgeous!

[cokebottles408]

was that a baby butt wipe?

[micheljanho]

oh thats so funny but i dont know but definitely people wouldnt get their hair getting wet by butt wipes.

[HotPeachDoneRight07]

Thanks Ted...I finally created my version of the Chignon and it came out nicely. I have to fake out the fullness of the knot but it looks great.

[RayneeeBoo]

if youu dont have one of those bunngy things, can youu use a regular hair tie?

please answer back i wanna use this look for a party(:

[assia312]

So cool !!

[HotPeachDoneRight07]

I love the look. However I have thin/fine hair that's a little longer than shoulder length and It's disheartening I can't achieve a similar look. Can you offer an alternative or modified version for not-so-thick hair? Thanks.

[celle329]

ugly

[monalisagrl]

idk...it would be cool for everyday wear...but it isn't something i would do for a formal event...it just looks like a ponytail made into a bun thats super messy...

[hannah92x3]

i actually like it lol

like for a formal-ish look or something

[annaetony]

HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[xiimsuchateasexx]

i love it but my hair is wayyyyy to long to do that =/

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

It's more of a certain type of Beehive, than it is a Chignon...

[anikadiamond007]

The girl in the video is so pretty!

[blablabeatz]

thank you so much for showing =)

[mybabybeautiful]

horrible

[camtitoune]

The "chignon" ( mdr la prononciation )

[Playgirlpluss]

That my bed head due

[MissTumTum]

so... where can you get that hair iron?

[nungiii]

I like it...very modern..especially luv the headband :)

[mtznayeli]

ha ha ha ha lulita1234 so do i!! or when im ganna clean my house and i want it out of the way!!

[lulita1234]

crap i do that when i go to bed lmao

[saxxsopon]

ted this hair is gorgeous , anyone who dont get it means they dont know squat about hairstyles this is a look of modern girl not an old lady, anywayz keep givin us more glams hairstyles

[ThePhrozenPhoenix]

Wow, that looks really messy and sloppy.

[dabadestceecee]

its suppose to. its a quick and easy messy bun.

[amberandash]

I really don't see how they can call this a 'chignon' with a straight face. It's a bun. I mean, if you arrange it at the base of the neck it's still a bun, but you can call it a chignon if you're feeling pretentious. This, however, you can't. What's wrong with using English?

[dabadestceecee]

*sigh* chignon is French for bun.....

[EFFEILTRUFOLO]

it's owful if i were her i'll never go out with that hair!

[cocoa89]

Wow! i luv doing chignons. this chignon is gorgeous!

[hanoonamatata]

im with ya whathuhwhere it does look bad,

[merdghoul]

the girls is soo beautifull

[Bookwirm]

Uhm yah I tried the second look and I look like a sumo wrestler. lol
