TOUSLED TOP KNOT

step one: Spray root lift product onto hair

Prepare the hair with root lift spray – this will help create texture and lift.

step two: Braid 5-8 loose plaits around head

To create a textured base, braid 5-8 loose plaits around the head. Don’t worry about position or how neat they are, as you want a natural finish.

step three: Use hairdryer to heat braids

Using the ghd air® hairdryer, gently heat the braids up and down the length on a medium heat and speed.

step four: Cool, then undo braids and shake out

Once heated, allow the braids to fully cool then undo them and shake out with your hands.

Using your fingers to keep a natural texture, gather the hair up into a high ponytail at the top of the head and secure with an elastic. Do not be afraid to go high with this!

step six: Pinch base of pony to loosen texture

Once the hair is secured in a ponytail, pinch the base to loosen and add more texture.

step seven: Split pony in 2 and tie loose knot

Separate the ponytail in two and tie a loose knot by crossing the two sections and looping the end of one through the middle.

step eight: Repeat creating knots

Continue tying loose knots until you reach the end of the hair.

step nine: Take ends of knots and grip to head

Take the very ends of the knots and grip them in place at the head.

Once secured, begin to pull the knots to create a lived in texture.

step eleven: Soften front of hair

Soften the front with your fingers or by brushing a soft brush in the opposite direction to the hair.
