I love that top knots are coming back in style! I remember wearing one a few months back and Eric poking fun at me, but whose laughing now 😉 I thought I’d share a few fun, slightly different versions of the top knot that are my favorite at the moment. The perfect hairstyle for both short and long hair. Do you like the half-up top knot look?

Now onto the tutorials! ⇊
