5 Steps To Ace Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s Top Knot Hairdo
Step 1: Hair Prep
Believe it or not, hair styling works best on unwashed hair. So, if you have skipped your hair wash day then good for you. If you need to wash your hair, opt for a nourishing shampoo and conditioner rinse. Work in some serum on your damp hair and let it air dry.
Step 2: Volume Booster
Whether you’ve washed your hair or not, you are going to want to have a dry shampoo at hand to recreate the perfect top knot. Dry shampoo naturally boosts volume and you will have a full-bodied top knot even if your hair is on the thinner side. Spritz dry shampoo onto your roots and work it in with your fingers.
Step 3: Face Framing Tendrils
To make sure your face is perfectly framed, create a one-inch centre parting and leave out two tendrils of hair from either side to frame your face. Tie the rest of your hair high up above your crown area in a ponytail. Pull out more of your bay hairs to frame your face better.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
Time to create the knot. Spritz dry shampoo on sectioned lengths of your ponytail to boost volume and wrap these sections around the elastic band of the ponytail to create a top knot. Secure the knot with bobby pins at the base of the ponytail and make sure the hair is tightly wrapped.
Step 5: Seal The Deal
Now that you’ve recreated the hairdo, don’t forget to set it in place so that it lasts long and looks gorgeous. Spritz a strong hold hairspray on the top knot. Avoid using hairspray on the face-framing tendrils. You can use a serum on the tendrils for a smoothened effect.
