My fall back hairstyle has always been the “top knot”. Great for days when I haven’t straightened my hair or haven’t washed it in days. There is an art to the top knot…

I like a big messy knot like this (maybe a little less messy?):

I don’t like it too tidy, tight and small:

Nor a “Croydon facelift”:

You don’t want the bun to be TOO small or TOO big:

                

You don’t want the bun TOO far back or TOO far forward:

                  

You don’t want a bun that sticks up weird or is not connected to your head:

                      

You want it just right:

                      

                   

Easy!
