Struggling with the perfect bun for your top knot? Never in my life has it been easy to put my hair in a messy bun. Long and THICK hair is incredibly challenging to work with- WITHOUT BREAKING EVERY HAIR TIE IN YOUR BATHROOM DRAWER. That is exactly why I wanted to help those ladies out with a breakdown of my top knot for long and luscious hair.
Ok- let’s get started:
{all you need for this look is a hair tie, a couple of bobby pins handy, and finishing spray}
- To begin, lightly hairspray your flyaways and brush hair back with NO PARTING in hair
- Start to make your parting lines and even the line throughout top half of your hair
- Take your hair tie and pull hair halfway through and stop when you form a little bun (leave enough hair to allow you to wrap around the ponytail)
- Wrap ends of your hair around the bun and finish wrapping the hair tie around the full bun (trying to hide the hair tie)
- Mess with the full bun and spread out the hair in the bun, then choose some pieces to pin making the bun lay naturally
- With your bun how you want it, spray with finishing spray to finalize your top knot
You are now ALL DONE with your {top knot}- you are welcome to use your fingers to poof the front and play around with it (the messier the bun the BETTER)
Don’t forget: this look works well with wavy and curly hair NOT JUST STRAIGHT HAIR
Huge thank you to my featured model: Brenna! If she can rock a top knot with her kind of hair you can too! Let me know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions. I would love to hear from all of you!
As always, BE TRUE. BE YOU.
