Get the Look: Half-Up Top Knot
Step 1: Refresh your hair.
If you’re working with second or third-day hair, refresh your hair by using some dry shampoo like Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo. This formula works to help you to soak up excess oil from your hair.
Step 2: Work product in and detangle.
Brush through hair with a boar bristle brush to spread dry shampoo throughout your strands and to detangle before creating your half-up top knot updo.
Step 3: Create topknot section.
Section off the middle of your hair by creating straight parts right behind each side of your temple. Use some serum like Suave Biotin Infusion Anti-Breakage Serum to smooth out any frizz.
Step 4: Create your bun.
Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a hair tie. Wrap the ends around into a loose bun. If you want, you can do something a little more trendy. Braid hair ends into a regular stitch or a trendy fishtail braid. After securing the ends, spread the braid apart to create a fuller effect then wrap hair ends around into a bun. Secure your bun with some bobby pins to keep it all in place.
Step 5: Finish the look.
Use a finishing mist like Nexxus New York Salon Care Frizz Defy Finishing Mist to set your top knot bun in place. Want to try more hairstyles like this half-up topknot? Check out this braided bun tutorial.
