Chignon

Chignon: This is derived from the French phrase chignon de cou meaning nape of the neck. It refers to any up hairstyle, commonly called a bun.

In her chignon a rose quivered on its flexible stem, with artificial dewdrops at the leaf-tips.

With his hands on the back of her chair, he would look down and see the teeth of her comb piercing her chignon.
