A few weeks ago, Molly and I attended a fashion event that focused on all the must-try trends for winter. Before sitting down for a fashion show, a hair stylist showed us how to achieve a perfect top knot! Turns out, the secret ingredient is lots of teasing! Perfectly teased and tousled hair will create a knot that’s just the right amount of messy.

Molly played model while I snapped photos of the stylist giving her a top knot. Check out how it’s done:

1. Put your hair in a high ponytail. The stylist recommended using your fingers as a brush for a slightly undone look.
2. Using a fine tooth comb, tease your ponytail!
3. Form a bun by coiling your hair around the base of the ponytail. Secure with a rubber hair tie.
4. Pin the knot in place with bobby pins.
5. Voila! Top knots are the perfect ‘do for taking your look from daytime chic to nighttime glam.
