Singer/songwriter Lianne La Havas is working this top knot on the lean. A smoky eye and pop of dusty rose lipstick never hurt, either.
This fly style is easier than it looks to make happen. Simply part the hair in four sections from the front to back. Then, starting from the base of the neck, tuck and pin your hair, working your way up through the three sections. For the bang section, tuck the hair and pin in a high pompadour.
This updo is relaxed hair parted in two sections. Gather each section into a ponytail, twist the length of the ponytail and then twist into itself. Yes, you’ll need a handful of bobby pins to secure, but then you’ll be good to go.
If you have locks and wear them down often, they can get heavy and pull at your edges. To give your strands a rest, a top knot is not only a relief, it looks oh so elegant.
Zoe Saldana’s updo is relaxed yet elegant, perfect for a night out. For this style leave the front section out and secure your hair across the back, like pin curls but not flat against your head.
We love Keyshia Cole’s mess of asymmetrical curls that set off her updo.
This bun at the nape of the neck can be done with any texture of hair, but it looks especially stunning on well-conditioned natural curls. Just secure your hair very low, if needed add extra hair to give it that poof.
Can you believe this pic is of Jany Tomba, a model from the 1960’s and 1970’s? It’s proof that the messy top knot will never go out of style.
Easy, breezy and too cute.
Go sky high with your updo like Janet Janet did here at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s 2010 Costume Institute Ball. Gather hair at the nape of your neck and twist upwards until you get to the top and secure that hair. Add light curls to the front and tease it up!
What a difference a part makes! Brianna (@FiercelyNatural) is stunning in this updo which highlights her texture in the front and is braided along the back, Definitely, fierce.
