You’ll be surprised how easy Nikki’s bodacious top knot is to do. Sure, it looks big, beautiful and even a little bit fancy, but as you’ll soon see the bun only takes her about 2 minutes to complete. She wears it to work, to the gym, to formal events, there’s nowhere you can’t wear a bun – except maybe the movie theater.
Nikki posted this look in our curly photos section, StyleNook, and listed all of the steps and products she used. But she also created a video tutorial that proves it can be done in under 2 minutes!
What You’ll Need:
- bobby pins
- hair tie
- *optional – bandana or headband
- *optional – edge tamer like Design Essentials Edge Tamer or Karen’s Body Beautiful Edge Control
Directions
- Step 1 – Gather all of your hair on top of your head, starting at the back of your head and pulling forward
- Step 2 – Use the hair tie to wrap the hair once (or twice, if you have less hair”> with the ends tucked into the band, it will look very messy at this point
- Step 3 – Tuck all of the loose ends in, using bobby pins to secure them when necessary
- Optional Step 4 – If you’re going for a polished look, apply your edge tamer at the end
- Optional Step 5 – Nikki accessorized with a $1 bandana she got from Walmart, but any headband would work!
