The top knot isn’t going to go out of fashion any time soon. It’s a style that will look just as good on a night out as it would in the office, easily dressed up with the right accessories. It’s also easy to do and can hide a multitude of sins, such as going a day too long without a hair wash, or running out of time to straighten your hair in the morning.

For ladies, a top knot involves simply pulling your hair into a kind of bun on top of your head. It will be secured with a hairband, and if you have shorter hair at the front or sides, you can also use pins to hold these lengths in place. You might choose to have a top knot high or low but it will usually sit higher up, almost on top of your head if your hair is long enough to allow this. You can also have a top knot with some lengths left loose.
