A simple top knot

True story: my husband does my sock buns. So what am I to do when he isn't with me and I am too lazy to straighten my hair and fight the NC humidity? A messy top knot! I am the world's worst at doing hair, so I guarantee that if I can do this, you can too! It's super easy and gives you a put together, dramatic look that you won't have to touch all night long.

Step 1: put your hair in a high ponytail.

Step 2: tease the mess out of it! I use this teaser. Take small sections of your ponytail and tease until it looks like you stuck your finger in an electrical socket. The bigger the better!

Step 3: twist and pin. Just wrap your teased hair until it looks like a bee hive and stick lots of bobby pins in it. Since it is teased you shouldn't have many fly-aways or loose pieces.

Step 4: hairspray to hold it. So easy!
