Top Knot – Half Updo

One of my favorite go to cute hairstyles is the top knot half updo. I love how quick this can be, especially since you are only using half of your hair, but it still looks fabulous. Another reason I love this style is that it looks great with every hair in place or as a messy updo hairstyle.

If you ever wanted to add some drama to your half updo, add a braid leading to your top knot. This will take longer, but it does add a unique flare to your hairstyle.

Top Knot

A very simple, elegant hairstyle is the top knot. If you have long hair this can be an easy hairstyle to accomplish with some bobby pins and hairspray. If you have short hair you can still accomplish this look, it may not be as large, but will be just as gorgeous. Also, to make life easier you can always use a hair donut or spin pins.

The Classic Top Knot Updo Hairstyle

Ponytail

You can never go wrong with the classic ponytail. There are many different ponytail styles. Do not be afraid to explore and find your favorite style of ponytail: messy, braided, inverted, side, or high ponytail.

The simple wrap around ponytail allows for you to have an easy hairstyle that is very professional and sophisticated. To accomplish this look all you need is to take a small piece of hair from underneath your ponytail and wrap it around your hair tie. Finish up with a few bobby pins to hold the covering hair strand in place and you are good to go for the day.
