We will share some amazing top knot men hairstyle options, and will give you some professional tips & tricks on how to tie a top knot with ease, and in many different ways!

How Do You Do A Top Knot?

Celebrities often rock a top knot or a half bun look. You don’t even need to see different barbers in order to pull this style, since you can do it on your own. If you want to do the top knot hairstyle make sure you have proper hair products, such as:

  • A hair spray 
  • Hair elastic 
  • Some bobby pins

Step By Step Process 

  • 1: Work your hair and tie it up after washing it up and blow-drying. However, the best outcome and texture is achieved around the second day (this hair can lift with ease). 
  • 2: Brush your hair upwards and remove any unwanted flyaways with your brush. Any knots will go aways, especially if you have frizzy hair.
  • 3: Tie your hair with an elastic into a high ponytail at first. Secure any unwanted pieces with bobi pins (if you have time to spare). If not, go for reckless knots and a hairstyle that is messy and low-maintenance at the same time.
  • 4: Wrap up the back portion into a knot. Lift it and tie it around your ponytail till you achieve volume as well as your preferred bun height.
  • 5: Once the bun is up and high, you can secure it with some additional Bobi pins. However, what you should do is spritz it with your trustworthy hairspray to remove any stubborn strands. Place the product 2-3 inches away from your hair, and spritz away!

How Long Does It Take To Grow A Top Knot?

Usually, hair tends to grow around half an inch per month. Normally, it can take you anywhere from 6-12 months to achieve the right knot length. This, however, will depend on the current state of your hair, and its length. If you are trying to rush the process, you can speed it up with some hair vitamins and minerals. Try to massage your scalp to boost your blood flow and circulation which will promote new hair growth at the top of the head. A top knot style when approached with the right shampoo or conditioner will grow fast & healthy!
