Cup of Thoughts

The top knot has become a popular look.  Here are a few tips and tricks to help you create the perfect top knot look! Only grab the very top crown pieces of hair for your knot. If desired, you can tease those pieces for them to looks bigger.  When you wrap it up, twist your hair and pull it through an elastic. Leave a little bit out to create the knot effect.  Pull the edges to make it 'fluffier.'  For a more precise and clean look, you can take the stray pieces of the bun and bobby pin them into the bun.   Don't forget hairspray ! This look is everything that Summer represents; relaxing, simple, effortless, fun, and messy.  ♡ Anna

To achieve this look I used my 25 mm curling wand along with some of my favorite texture spray. The trick to gaining those effortless beachy waves/curls is to leave about an inch of hair uncurled at the ends. Also, once you've curled a strand of hair remember to stretch it afterward! Which allows the curls to release into a relaxed and wavy look. This is one of my favorite looks to create! It brings out the natural, beautiful, and voluminous highlights in any hairstyle. ♡ Anna
