Two-Minute Top Knot Tutorial

For years now I have attempted the perfect top knot that I so often see celebrities styling. Not the top bun (you can view that tutorial here), but a knot. I spun, twisted, etc and it never came out right. Something about the fall just makes me crave a good top knot. I think it’s the perfect pairing with oversize turtleneck sweaters and skinny jeans. It is chic without looking too done- personally I think Olivia Palermo’s are spot on always.
This top knot tutorial I am about to share is perfect for rushed mornings or lack of time, or in my case, the end of a perfect blowout run. However, it’s important to not have your hair look messy and dirty. I am firm believer in not washing your hair everyday and so I typically only wash mine 1-2 times a week- but I don’t want my hair to look like that- even my top knots (the trick is to make people think its always clean!)! About two months ago, I started washing more frequently because I felt like my hair was losing some of its shine and softness, thus looking poor in top knots, pony tails and even down curled. However, a few weeks ago, I picked up the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Products and I am happy to report that my hair is definitely the shiniest and silkiest it’s been in awhile. Within about 3 washed of using the conditioner, shampoo and oil I truly noticed a difference. Plus, the Pure Care Dry Oil is a fraction of the cost of what I typically pick up at the salon and the results are the same if not better: nourishing. An added bonus to the silk and shine is that my curls hold even longer than they did previously which means I can stretch my washing and style an adorable top knot at the end of the 3rd or 4th day.
Recently, I stumbled upon a top knot tutorial to make the perfect top knot every time and I have been sporting this style at least once weekly. I thought I’d take some time to share a brief tutorial with y’all!

 1. Start with a pony tail wherever you’d like your knot to be. You can pull some hair down around the face to frame it towards the end or during this stage. I like mine a little messy, so I don’t pull too tight.

 2. Splitting the hair into two equal parts wrap one section of the hair around the pony tail loosely. Secure with 2-3 bobby pins.

 3. Taking the other section of hair, loop in the OPPOSITE direction of the first loop. This will create a little fold looking style. Secure with 2-3 bobby pins. You can not pull your bun to even out the sides and secure loose “fly aways” with bobby pins (or keep them out for a messier look).
