The timelessness of the top knot

There's a reason this is the favorite style of Instagram style stars: It's easy to do, doesn't distract from the rest of your look, and is flattering for all face shapes. Read on for step-by-step instructions.

Step 2: Dry shampoo (optional)

Greasy roots? Fine or thin strands? Hair just needs a pick-me-up? Give your roots a spritz of dry shampoo to refresh, add volume, and revive limp locks. Dry shampoo also adds grit to strands, which will help hold your top knot in place.

Step 3: Section strands

Use your fingers (a brush or comb works too) to section out approximately 1/3 of the front of your hair—starting from the front and extending to the crown of the head. Here's how to find the best hairbrush for your hair type.

Step 4: Secure ponytail

Once your mini ponytail is in the ideal placement at the top of your head for your top knot bun, secure it with a snag-free hair tie. Don't miss these ponytail hacks you'll wish you knew sooner.

Step 5: Backcomb ponytail

Backcomb the ponytail to amp up the volume. Then hit it with texture spray, like Living Proof Instant Texture Mist, for instant, effortless texture.

Step 6: Wrap it up

After your ponytail is in place, wrap all the hair from the pony in a clockwise direction around the elastic to sculpt the knot.

Step 7: Secure

Use bobby pins to lock your bun into place. Pro tip: Be sure to place pins at the top and the bottom of the bun, making a point to get strands from the bun and securing them to the head.

Step 8: Set with hairspray

Finish with lightweight, humidity-resistant hairspray to ensure your style stays put—not to mention smooth, shiny, and frizz-free—all day.
