Tessi Wood: Connected Twists into a Top Knot

It’s been a little while! We took a break while I recovered from having the baby. We probably aren’t back full time, but we have a few tutorials coming! Hope you enjoy them! A fun way to spice up that top knot. This top knot is extra cute on the side. If you aren't familiar with our signature messy bun/top knot, you can find a helpful tutorial below! We filmed this tutorial before baby brother was born (as you will notice my large bump :D)

Start with damp hair in the crown section sprayed with spray gel (linked below) and a deep side part.
Take a one and a half inch section parallel to the part line all the way back in the crown.
Split this section into two and secure each with an elastic.
Take the remaining hair in the crown section, a few inches above the ear and secure with an elastic.
Take the first two pony tails and add rope twists by splitting the ponytail in half.
Then twist each section of the ponytail to the right and cross to the left, continue twisting to the right and crossing to the left until it reaches the larger ponytail.
Clip to the ponytail.
Repeat with the other small pony.
Secure each rope twist to the larger pony.
Move the pony out of the way and secure the remaining hair into a high side ponytail.
Split the front pony into two and add a rope twist.
Secure the rope twist to the main high ponytail with an elastic.
Add spray gel as needed to tame the fly aways.
Now we will add our signature messy bun.
Take two elastics and wrap them around one or two times and keep it on your fingers.
Split the ponytail into two.
Curl the top section up and hold with your finger.
Curl the bottom section down and hold with your thumb.
Pull the remaining elastic over top of the buns.
Let go of the elastic.
Now adjust the buns to the size you want by tugging at the ends.
Curl the ends back into the elastic. (You may need to curl them back through a few times for each section depending on how long the hair is.)
