The Top-Knot

November 18, 2011 11:59 am ,

Without a doubt, a girl’s hair is
her first noticed accessory.

 

 

I, personally, have kinky, wavy, hot-mess type hair and wake up looking far from anything resembling bouncy and stylish. The shampoo-condition-product-style process can’t happen everyday.

And since I don’t wake up with a blow-out, I rely on this method to go from feeling hot mess in a bad way to hot mess in a good way (you know what I mean) in under a minute.


Here is what you’ll need:

a hair brush, bobby pins, scissors, and one sock

{Dry shampoo is optional - Pssst! is my fav}

Step One:

Cut the toe off the sock.

Roll the sock into a doughnut with a hole in the middle.

For you brunettes, I suggest “borrowing” your boyfriend/husbands/gay best friend’s brown or black sock. Some shades of brown even work for red-heads. I did happen to find a yellow sock by Burt’s Bees, but tan one will work great for blondies. It doesn’t have to be perfect- just close enough to blend with your color.

Step Two:

Brush your hair into a pony tail and secure with an elastic

then put your hair through the sock.

Step Three:

Spread hair around the sock.

(If you want hair to look extra messy you can tease some of the strands.
Add dry-shampoo for texture and to discourage layers from slipping out.)

and begin to wrap hair around sock…

And secure with bobby pins.

    Although the look is cute, I wouldn’t brag about doing it while driving. That’s just as bad as texting while driving. Putting other people in danger simply because you were too lazy to do it on your way out the door is ridiculous.

      I appreciate your feed back. But it takes about the same amount of attention as changing the radio station or sipping water. :) My point was that it’s effortless :)

    I loved this! Everytime I do a bun it falls apart too easily because there’s not really a base, or it looks way to tiny and strange atop my head. Thanks, this was perfect. :)

    Great – I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Nice task.
