Let’s be real – the top knot is not a new hairstyle. There are many iterations, even. From ballet to messy to hot cross (oh wait… that’s food) there are so many types of buns. My favorite? This top knot tutorial. It’s a little bit messy, but more importantly, super simple to create.
For me, the top knot is a fall and winter staple, and it felt wrong to write about it in summer. Sounds strange, but since it never gets that hot here in Seattle, I prefer to wear my hair down. In the cooler months, however, I often stretch out how often I wash my hair. Having a wet head when it’s chilly is the absolute worst!
So, the top knot became my go-to, nearly everyday hair style and now that it’s getting cold again, I’m happy to share my formula with you. I’ve tweaked it slightly because I know not everyone has the same hair type as I do (long, thick, & crazy) but it still gets the same look that you’ve seen in past outfit posts. Now don’t get me wrong – not everyone is going to like this look, and that’s totally okay. Feel free to do whatever kind of bun makes you happy. But if you like how mine looks, I promise it’s super simple to create! :)
