A top knot is a bun placed high on your head. It’s edgy and clean, keeping your hair completely off your neck. This is a modern look that works well if you want something sharp and simple. Use a strong elastic to make sure it stays put throughout the day.

8. Twisted Half-Up

Similar to the half-up with a twist, this version focuses on just twisting. Take two sections from the front, twist them back, and secure them. It’s simple but adds a nice detail. It suits most hair types and isn’t complicated to do. Adding a pretty decorative clip where the twists meet looks lovely.

7. Accessorized Ponytail

5. Crimped Hair

Crimped hair is back and brings a fun, retro vibe. Use a crimping iron on sections of your hair to add texture. It’s great for adding volume and visual interest. Always use a heat protectant spray on your hair before you use any heat tools like a crimping iron.
