Tutorial timeeeee! 🙂
The half-up topknot is one of my favorite hairstyles to wear – especially because it works great with 1-2 day old hair! You can find tutorials for this look anywhere + everywhere, but since I have such fine/thin hair, I like to create mine a little differently. I figured this would be an easy how-to to film, so anyone who’s still trying to nail the little bun on the head look 😉 …take a peek! –>
For those who can’t peep the video at the moment, I screen shot a quick pictorial for ya! –>
1. For hair that’s a couple of days old, spray with a dry shampoo.
2. I then apply a texture spray to give the hair a “body re-boost”.
3. Shake it all out really well! 
4. Apply your favorite heat protectant!
5. Then I bust out my 3-barrel waver! Scary looking thing…
6. Get to crimpin’! 
7. Time for the fun part! Using my nails I gather a section of hair for my topknot. I lightly tease it, and then wrap it until it forms a bun. Secure with a baby elastic! 
8. Aaaand time for a little more teasing! My hair needs as much OOMPH 😉 as it can get!
9. You’re doneeeee! 🙂
I love this look so much — I thinks it’s a really fun + youthful style!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post/video!
…Until next timeee. 🙂
Have you ever worn your hair in a half-up topknot before? How do you create yours!?
XOXO

It’s like the craziest looking tool, but it works SO well for thinner hair!! I loveeeee it 🙂
Love! There aint nothing wrong with some “teasin”… (Texas Accent) 🙂

Ahh yesss, love the tease! I think I was supposed to be born in TX! 🙂 And thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the videos!! They’ve been fun!
LOVING this video!!! Your like a pro girl!! What camera are you videoing with? I feel like every time I video its so dark, and I cant figure out what to do LOL
loved the video <3 and you totally rock the top knot xx
Thank you so much, girl!! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, that means a lot. Thank you for watching!! XO
That’s such a cute look, I always love the waves you have! You really got me wanting one of those wavers now! I haven’t been doing my hair much lately because I need something quick & am usually over it once I finish makeup, but this looks really easy and definitely quick.
Thanks Christina! You have got to get your hands on one of these! It created the most natural looking waves, and it holds so well! I can usually get two days of down hair when I use the waver! 🙂 Thank you, as always for reading – you’re the best! XO
Absolutely love this video! The instructions were so clear! And that top know looks great on you!
*knot…darn autocorrect! 😀
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it. And I cannot tell you how many times ‘topknot’ auto-corrected to ‘top know’ for me in this post LOL! Thanks for reading, love! XOXO
I didn’t even know that they make textured sprays, LOL. I’m so out of the loop! 🙁 Thanks for all the tips, I’ll have to try it sometime, I hate having flyaways in my face. xoxo
I am so happy to help!! 🙂 TBH, I just discovered them about a year ago too lol. Give it a try! Thank you for reading! XOXO 🙂
Yesssss I’m in love with this look! I will definitely be trying this! It’s one look I have not been able to make work for me and now after watching this I’m determined to do it!!
