DIY TOP KNOT


I recently discovered a new technique with my hair that made me wonder why no one had ever thought of it before. Maybe someone has, but they never shared it with me, so I'm going to just say no one has thought of it... When I wear my hair up in a top knot I try to avoid using rubber bands because they can tear your hair. To compensate for the lack of rubber band support, I started using massive amounts of bobby pins. I didn't have problems with tearing anymore, BUT my hair fell more quickly & the extensive numbers of pins would make my head hurt. That's when I accidentally discovered this technique...I tie my hair in a knot on top of my head, wrap the excess hair around it & pinned it into place. I now use approximately 3 or 4 bobby pins whereas before I was using something like 10 or 15. Not to mention thus far I've noticed my hair stays up longer than it did before.

I filmed this before I cut my hair, but I can still do this with my hair. Anyone with long hair should at least give it a try. Hope this helps you out!

I posted a couple of salon question videos that were requested of me on my youtube page by a fellow youtube user. Since it was a youtube user that requested it & they're both pretty lengthy, I chose to not put them on here. BUT if it sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to check them out.
