How to Create a Sleek Top Knot Hairstyle
Step 1: Start clean.
Before creating your sleek top knot style be sure to start with a clean slate. You’ll be needing gel to create this look so we suggest cleansing first to avoid product buildup. Wash your hair with Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smoothing Shampoo and Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smoothing Conditioner to gently cleanse and smooth hair cuticles for smooth, manageable hair. After washing your hair, prep with TRESemmé Get Sleek Heat Protection Spray, then blow-dry straight using a round brush.
Step 2: Apply gel.
Coat hair with TRESemmé TRES Two Mega Firm Control Gel, then distribute the product through using a boar bristle brush. We suggest using the Ibiza OC7 Oval Flat Hair Brush, which is suitable for all hair types.
Step 3: Create a high ponytail and bun.
Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a hair elastic. Wrap the ends around the base of your ponytail to create your bun and insert hair pins to lock it in.
Step 4: Set with hairspray.
Finish your sleek top knot style with a shine spray that also provides hold. Our current fave: Catwalk by TIGI Camera Ready Shine Spray. Loved this sleek top knot hairstyle? Try your hand at more powerful looks like this wet hair look or one of these sculptural top knot hairstyles.
