Top Knot

The name of the hairstyle top-knot is literally translated as "knot at the top". Initially, this option was used exclusively by long-haired men, who can make a knot of long strands on their heads. Nevertheless, at some point in time this hairstyle, like many other elements of style, was borrowed from the stronger sex by women and girls.

Today, a lot of beautiful ladies give preference to the female top-knot hairdo, as it looks stylish and original, but at the same time is created extremely simply.

How to make a top-knot?

To make a hairstyle top-knot, in the first place, you need to grow hair, at least medium length. The best bunch looks at long-haired girls who want to assemble their locks in a neat hairstyle, but at the same time retain some negligence in appearance.

Having a sufficient length of strands, make top-knot as follows:

  1. First, using elastic bands, collect all the hair in a high ponytail, trying to make it as smooth as possible.
  2. Next, divide all the locks into 2 equal parts and wrap one around the other, moving along the base of the tail in a circle. Do not forget that the classic top-knot hairstyle should look very neat, so always wrap all the locks in one direction and collect the strands that are knocked out. If, on the contrary, you want to get a more sloppy version of the beam, first brush your hair, then divide it, and then fold in different directions.
  3. At the next step wrap the knot around the gum. Naturally, it is best to choose a thin rubber, which will be almost invisible on the hair. Otherwise, you will not be able to completely wrap it and hide it.
  4. Having finished the formation of the beam, fasten it with studs or a special hair clip for the top knot. Begin with the base of the tail to get a more reliable fixation. As a rule, even when using a hair clip, it is impossible to do without the use of hairpins to pin the sticking out strings that do not want to fit themselves into the bundle themselves.
  5. At the very end, sprinkle your hair with a hair spray. This is necessary to ensure that over time the bundle does not crumble and looks beautiful and neat.

What is a top-knot haircut?

If the top-knot hairstyle is available for absolutely all women with a sufficient length of strands, then with the same haircut things are somewhat different. To create it, hair in the region of the temples should be shortened to the minimum possible length, and in the center, leave a long tail , which after each washing of the head will have to be collected in a bundle. In some cases, strands on the temples are neatly shaved, but this option is suitable only for bold and determined young girls.

Of course, not every woman can decide to cut a top-knot, and it also does not suit all the fair sex. We will try to figure out who the top-knot is, and who does not approve of this option categorically. First of all, it is not recommended to do such a haircut for those women who work in a serious organization and can not appear in the workplace with shaved or shortened temples.

In addition, the shortening of the hair on the sides does not adorn the owners of too narrow and elongated faces. Finally, this haircut should not be addressed to women with features such as protruding ears, an excessively large nose or forehead, and too small and expressionless facial features. At such ladies the hairdress will draw attention to lacks of appearance, owing to what the available advantages will be imperceptible.

In all other cases, the female top-knot will only emphasize the natural beauty of its possessor and give it a unique charm.
