The History of the Chignon (A type of ballet bun)

The chignon/bun can be traced back to Ancient Greece, where Athenian women often wore this particular hair style with gold or ivory handcrafted hairpins. Athenian men wore this style as well. They fastened their chignons with a hair pin clasp of "golden grasshoppers," according to "The History of the Peloponnesian War" . The chignon/bun was specific to Athens, as other city states, for example Sparta and Cyprus, had their own individual styles of hairdressing. The chignon/bun was also popular in Ancient China, where married women wore the low, knotted hairstyle. The chignon/bun achieved popularity during the Victorian era; during that time, chignons were often enormous constructions including false hair or pads. The chignon’s popularity peaked again in the 1940’s when many women wore the chignon/bun with a headscarf while working in factories to support the war effort during World War 11. Presently, the chignon/bun is still popular because of its association with French elegance, and the ease with which a chignon/bun can be achieved.

 The Traditional Ballet bun

This hairstyle is used by nearly all female ballet dancers and at times some male ballet dancers. Ballet dancers often use hairnets and bobby pins to make the bun as tight and neat as possible. This is especially important while turning, as loose buns may fall out and the bun has to look presentable.
