To style the perfect top knot in under 10 minutes you’ll need the following items:

1. A strong hair tie and a smaller one to secure a braid
2. A few bobby pins
3. Hairspray

Put your hair in a secure ponytail at your desired height and brush all baby hairs back with the help of some hairspray. Once that is done, braid your hair in one single braid and secure it with the smaller elastic. Wrap the braid around and secure it with however many bobby pins you need. Re-check your hair for any rebel hairs sticking out and brush them back.
