A chignon (bun) cover is used to cover a chignon (bun) hairdo. Often made of crocheted fabric or lace, it is secured over the bun with elastic band or bobby pins. They can also be made of feathers, flowers, leather, or human hair.

Novelty covers are popular during the holidays. Pine cones with holly, faux candles, lace decorated with rhinestones, etc.
