Top Knot

I have been on another blogging absence and I apologize!! I went to dinner with a couple of friends the other night to celebrate one of them being done with summer school. Gahhh made me really wish I was  back in college! When I was digging around in my closet for my outfit for the night I picked out a top that needed an up-do I thought. I have practiced and practiced the top knot, watched you tube after you tube and have now finally figured out what worked for my brown, thin (extremely thin), straight, semi long hair. Here is a HOW TO on the top knot I have found the easiest for me and hopefully my readers!

How to:

First you need a few supplies:

I have to use this bun maker from Sally Beauty Supply (have in black, brown and blonde) because I don't have enough hair to make a top knot. If I didn't use this it would just look like a normal bun on the top of my head. 

I also had to use bobby pins to tuck some of my flying hairs in

Also, you might want a little hairspray. I use it for everything so of course I did a few finishing touches of hair spray.

Making the top knot:

1. Make a high pony tail and tie with any pony tail holder.

2. Slip the bun maker over the pony tail. So that the pony tail is coming out of the middle of the bun maker.

3. Then wrap your hair around the bun maker and just pull the hair to make sure it is all covered and use about 4 pins and secure the hair. Then hair spray. It will take you a few tries to make sure you have all the bun maker covered. 

This is how I formed my hair around the bun maker. I use both hands and just smooth it so it covers it all but I can't take pics and do it at the same time!

4. Pin in a few bobby pins so that it want fall down.

5. Spray with hair spray to hold!

If this process doesn't work for you just search top knot's on you tube. I follow a few different blogs and each blogger did their top knot different ways. Just find what works best for you. This is a great way for straight thin hair. Someone with thick hair probably wouldn't need the bun maker or could look   to big. 

Enjoy!
