The Barbarella Hair team love the Top Knot and I have been watching them perfect it so I can share with you how to tie the perfect top knot. This is an edgy updo that is easy to create and will add a touch of elegance day or night!
My paws are not best suited to this technique so I asked Sophie to explain how she creates the perfect Top Knot look, here’s her step-by-step guide:
1. Start by pulling your hair into a slicked back, high ponytail.
2. If you have naturally thick and wavy hair, skip to step 3. If not, split your pontail into three or four parts and tease it gently at the base just to get a little extra volume. Then pull all the hair back together into one messy looking ponytail.
3. Divide your hair into two parts and begin winding them around each other from the base of the ponytail, then wrap everything around the elastic. Feel free to get creative!
4. Use hairpins to secure your knot. Start by pinning the base of the bun to keep it in place, then pin fly-aways or loose ends in place.
5. Finish off with a bit of spray to keep everything in place.
Et voila, you will have your very own edgy Top Knot bun.
