If you take a look at any magazine, runway, or even on the street, the new hot style trend is the top knot. Essentially the style is exactly the what its title is, a large knotted bun at the tip top of your head. The Top Knot is a great hair style to utilize in between washes, because your hair is messy, up and out of your face.

There are many different ways to achieve this trending style. Many people opt to hair lots of volume in there hair. That way it is not a sleeked back-Kardashian style, because let’s be honest, not many people can rock that look.

The slideshow above show you how to create this very desired look.

Before  you begin crafting this hairstyle you will need bobby pins, hairspray, a hair tie, and some kind of comb.

Once you have all of your materials needed, you will begin to backcomb (tease) the crown section of your hair, to give it some volume.

Now that you have obtained volume, trace the corners of your eyes and continue picking up hair in that section at an upward angle. This should be the top crown section of your hair.

Bobby pin the section up. It will look like your hair is half-up half-down.

Next, gather the rest of your hair to create a ponytail. Make your pony tail meet where you placed the bobby pins at the top of your head. This will give you a very high pony.

This is where the mess begins. Grab layers and sections of the pony tail and tease. Tease the hair starting at the shaft and continue towards the ends of your hair. There is no rhyme or rhythm to this method; just go crazy with the backcombing.

By now you should look like you have spent three days in the humid sun with all of that amplitude.  Begin working the teased hair into a bun. This may be tricky but take the hair around the pony tail. You will find that the hair since it is so tease will begin forming a bun.

Once you have some of the bun created start pinning the beast down. Pin the bun all the way around, securing it to the rest of your hair.

To make the look even messier, grab the bun and “rough” it up a bit. Also take pieces around your face to create a softer look.

Lastly, spray your entire head all over with lightweight hairspray.
