Cute Easy Hairstyles - Hair Tutorial Step by Step: Top Knot Bun

Looking for cute easy hairtsyles?  No time to blow out your hair? Toss your strands into a bun: These cute easy hairstyles will help you pull off a last-minute look that feels styled and chic enough for both a day at the office or a night on the town.

Top Knot Bun 

While this bun serves as a fun party cute easy updo , it’s a classic style that’s suitable for everyday wear too. Start with a tight, high ponytail to achieve a sleek and professional look that has all the benefits of the easy top knot bun.

STEP ONE

Prep your hair with loads of dry shampoo to add grip. Now create a high ponytail at the crown and tie with a band. As a rough guide, aim for the spot roughly in line with the end of your ears. A bit further forward on the head looks more edgy. Too far back doesn't quite work. Trust your gut instincts. Pull out a few tiny wispy hairs around the front of the face. Tip: don't pull the ponytail too tight for a more casual effect

STEP TWO

Hold your ponytail vertically and back-comb to double the size. This is the most important step: if you have fine hair, try and backcomb every little section to get loads of body.

STEP THREE

Now loop the hair over one hand and create a real knot with the hair near the base of the ponytail, even if you only manage to pull a few strands all the way through! Tip: if your hair's not long enough to do a knot, simply twist the hair around the hairband to create any shape you desire.

STEP FOUR

Now pull the knot into a messy shape that you like. Aim for a good amount of width, not just height.

STEP FIVE

Pin around the edges of the knot to keep it in place and mist with hairspray. Voila!
