How To Create The Style
When your hair is 50% dry, give it a spray with a wave spray then let it dry naturally. If you don’t already have weft or tape-in extensions in your hair, start by putting in your clip-ins. Next, create a centre part then section off the top of the head from the outer edges of your eyebrows to the crown of your head creating two sections. Backcomb, then twist the two sections together into a big loose bun. Secure with a clear hair elastic.
Pull the bun out to loosen it and let a few strands flow freely.
Using your curling tongs, grab small sections of the rest of your hair and curl carefully in alternating directions, leaving about a five cm gap at the end for a more natural finish, to create a tousled look when you’ve completed your whole head of hair.
Another Option
To change up your new favourite style, try braiding a small section on each side of your part then follow instructions as above to finish off your top knot style. Perfect for a summer festival outing.
Boom! There it is, your summer go-to hairstyle for parties, festivals or lunch with gran and the fam.
