When you’re in a pinch for time, or you haven’t washed your hair in a few {too many!} days, or for any other reason, this top knot tutorial is for you. It’s so simple, and takes barely any skill at all {I promise!} All you need are a few basic ‘tools’ and a little patience, and you will have a perfect topknot in no time!
All the tools you’ll need: Bobby pins // Smoothing Brush // Hair Brush {my favorite is the wet brush!} // Teasing Brush // Hair ties // Hair Spray
STEP 1: Smooth hair into pony tail on top of your head. Secure with elastic hair tie. Use the smoothing brush to tame fly aways
STEP 2: Take sections of the pony tail and lightly tease one at a time.
STEP 3: Twist ponytail around base of head and secure with bobby pins. This might look messy, but right now, just worry about securing the bun in place!
STEP 4: Take smoothing brush and smooth out flyaways. Spray with firm hold hairspray to keep everything in place!
And there you have it! The world’s easiest up-do! With a little bit of practice, this look can take under 2 minutes to complete, and looks absolutely fabulous for any day or night activity! I especially love that it stays put.
