The scenario: you’ve just decided to cut your hair into a cute new bob — landing on either a Botticelli bob, the airy bob, a fringe bob, or one of the boyfriend or boy bobs. You’ve successfully left enough length to pull it into a low ponytail, but what about rocking your favorite hairstyle, the top knot? While this style may be off-limits in past seasons, there’s a new top knot technique bridging the gap between the bob and your go-to style — the loaded topknot.
What Is The Loaded TopKnot Hairstyle?
Many are also calling this new trend a bob bun, which is the best way to beat the heat, get your hair off your face, or simply rock a fabulous new semi-up style. This look highlights everything we love about the bob - its short length, blunt ends, and edgy texture while adding volume to their finished style.
What’s The Vibe?
While the loaded topknot can be finessed to create a polished finish for an event or night out — the look is all about creating a low-key, messy-chic style.
How To Create The Look
We love creating this look on second-day hair. It easily upgrades a slept-on style without the need to add more heat.
The Steps:
- Spritz hair with a dry shampoo or texturizing spray to refresh your look and add grit.
- Section out the top of your hair (or as much as you would like to pull up) and secure it with an elastic. *Leave the back section of your hair down.
- From here, twist the ends around your ponytail to finish the bun.
- Secure with bobby pins to keep the look effortlessly in place.
- This look can also be customized to feature space buns or braid and twist elements.
- Finish with a light dusting of hairspray, and your look is complete.
