How to Make a Topknot

A topknot is a stylish, universal hairstyle that’s appropriate for both business meetings and parties.

5-Minute Crafts wants to show you how to make a topknot in 2 ways — with an insert and without one.

Topknot with an insert

1. Get a special insert for topknots. If you don’t have one, you can use the things you have at home. Make a ponytail, take a toilet paper roll, and put the end of the tail through the hole in the middle.

2. Put the roll at the base of the ponytail.

3. Cover the roll with your hair.

4. Fix the insert and the hair around it with a scrunchie.

5. Collect the leftover hair.

6. Wrap it around the knot and fix it with a hairpin.

Topknot without an insert

2. Make a knot.

3. Pull the end of the tail upward.

4. Wrap it behind the knot.

5. Fix it with a scrunchie.

6. If needed, use hairpins.
