We added a few knots in front this time for some added flair. Of course this is optional. But if you want to add the knots like we did here, leave some hair out in front before you make the ponytail....
Then part out a few sections with the hair you left out. We made zig zag parts between the sections just for fun. Tie some knots and add the ends in with the ponytail to keep them secure.
This hairstyle video tutorial is showing how to do the knotted bun itself:If you have long hair, it works better to make knots in the entire ponytail instead of leaving some hair out like we did in this short hair version. And then instead of leaving the ends out to spike, you could curl them if you wanted for a more elegant and less messy look.

I love that! You amaze me with all of your ideas. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your creativity!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! Are the knots tough to get out at the end of the day?
ReplyDelete@aestril thank you! And no, the knots slip right out easily. They are especially easy to get out if you make thicker knots. Sometimes the super thin ones can get a little tight.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I can't wait to try it! Thanks for all of the fun ideas!
