Step 1: Gather Your Hair Into A High Pony

Step one of how to do a topknot: pull it together, girl. Your hair, we mean. Gather all of your hair and pull it into a high pony. On the last loop of the elastic band, leave the ends out as they will be strategically pinned and pulled.

Step 2: Use Hairspray And Bobby Pins

Gather those loose ends. Leave no hair behind. Spray your bobby pins with either dry shampoo or a strong-hold hairspray for extra grip and pin the loose ends around the bun. Don't worry about making it look perfect, as you'll tug at the bun next.
