Beginning in the late 1960s and right on into the 70s, every young woman wanted long straight hair. And for evening, the classic chignon hairstyle was a favorite option. There were some wonderful hair accessories available to make a basic chignon even more special. All examples shown are from 1973. Above, a swirled bun-cover.
Here, the chignon is accented with another loop of hair at the back of the neck.
A metal barrette is attached to the top of the chignon.
A fun enameled brooch is used to decorate the hair.
Here a loose chignon is held in place with chopsticks.If you have long hair, how do you dress it up for evening?
