From the 1978 Hat Chignon Collection, this stunning and original hair idea by the one and only Antonio da Costa Rocha of La Coupe was inspired by Pillbox Hats. Here’s a unique hair idea for all of you, just in time for the Holidays. It was created on very long, all-one-length hair – with no pins. The chignon innovator shows how it was done and you can see other versions, by clicking here:
