I Spy Something I Like; The Half-Up Topknot

Let's be honest, since the topknot gained recognition as an acceptable and wearable hair style we have not let it go. Topknots are easy and effortless, well at least they look that way. Pinterest and hairstylists have been offering advice and tips on how to create the perfect topknot. But now the topknot has a sister, the half-up topknot and she is fun and worth trying out this spring and summer.

I have noticed appearances of this look on stylish celebrities and musicians from Kate Mara and London Grammar's front woman, Hanna Reid. The always fashionable Whitney Port is another endorser of the half-up topknot.

These three looks show a variety of ways in which you can wear the half-up topknot.

For Kate: Start with a loose curl in the hair. Then section the hair down the middle and pull the sides back into a ponytail, placing the ponytail at the lower crown of the head. Then twist the hair into a bun and finish with a hairspray for hold.

For Whitney: Again, start with a loose curl throughout the hair. Then take a section from ear to ear, letting the hair fall loose and into a natural part. Secure the section with a ponytail and twist around to form a messy bun/knot. Finish by securing with bobby pins and hairspray.

For Hannah; Same idea as Whitney's look just leave out a few pieces in front for a bit of fringe. I also love the wave in her hair, a great undone but done look.

 I love how it takes the hair up and away from the face while still creating an easy and sexy-cool girl look. So of course I had to try it out. What do you think? Will you rock this look with me?

Yes.... or No?

I think YES!
