Hey guys today
I want to share with you this really soft beautiful and elegant
Knotted updo if you have any weddings proms or special occasions coming up then this hairstyle would be
Perfect because the technique is so simple to yet
it makes quite a statement. You guys are going to love
How easy this is all you need are some Bobby pins and a hair elastic,
and let's get started what you want to do is throw all of your hair behind your shoulders
And then you want to grab all of your hair that's above your temples and Gather it together just like this
Now with the section you just want to divide it down the middle into two equal sized pieces
Then we're going to tie these together
So I'm just crossing my right section over the left section
and then I'm going to loop that left section up and through so this is the same step as the first step of tying a
shoe
So we want to repeat the same steps again this time gathering all of the hair above my temples
And I'm going to join it into the right side
And then I'm going to do the same thing grab all of the hair above my temples and join it into the left side
So you should still have two separate sections, and then same as before we're going to tie these together
So I'm crossing that right section over the left one and then bringing that left section up and through to create a knot
now we're going to repeat the same thing this time grabbing all of the hair that's
above about the middle of my ears
And I'm just joining it into that right section and I'm doing the same thing on the left side
So now that you have your two sections same thing as before it just tie them together
As you're working your way down it can get trickier since there is more hair, but just take your time with it
And then I'm going to repeat these steps one more time with all the remaining hair
So I'm just joining it into that right side remembering to grab your neck hairs as well
And I'm doing the same thing on the left side and tying them together so once you're done knotting
It should look a little similar to this and what I'm going to do is tie it off with a hair elastic
Just to hold everything in place while I'm pancaking the braid so to pancake it I'm just using my index finger and thumb
And I'm pulling on the outside of each knot almost fanning it out to create a thicker looking braid and I'm also going to pull
On some small sections just to help add some more dimension
Feel free to pull apart the braid let me assure you it's very strong
And you have nothing to worry about I also gently pulled at the sides of each layer just to give the hairstyle a softer
Appearance and I pull out some small pieces to frame my face even though pulling apart your braid is
Completely optional as you can see here it just helps create the illusion of a Fuller thicker braid
So now I'm going to take some Bobby pins and secure the knots to my head optional
But it helps keep the hairstyle in place
So we're having the top knot and I'm pulling it up slightly then sliding two Bobby pins underneath the knot and across
To secure it tightly to my head
And then I'm just repeating this three more times underneath each of the knots
Even though pinning is optional you can see the slight difference
It makes there's more volume at the crown and it definitely feels more secure I
personally love this hairstyle
just like this and to make it look more put together it just took a small piece of hair from the underside of my
Ponytail and I wrapped it around my hair elastic and then Bobby pinned it to the underside of that elastic
I'm loving low ponytails first summer. I think this is a really cool
Look if you wanted to create an uPdo all you have to do is remove that hair elastic and continue
The same steps as before you just want to continue tying your two strands around one another until you reach the very ends of your
Ponytail and once you've reached the end of your hair is secure with a hair elastic
And I like to create a bun on the end of mine
It just helps prevent my ends from poking out, so then just grab the end of your ponytail and begin
It underneath and how you reach the nape of your neck
Once you reach the nape of your neck make sure it's rolled tightly and begin pinning it into place
if you're using Bobby pins
Just remember to grab smaller sections and use more of them and when you're pinning
I would recommend creating crosses it just makes your Bobby pins more secure
So there we have you guys that's how easy it is to recreate this beautiful
Knotted up -do I absolutely love this hairstyle, not only because it's so easy to do, but there's so many different variations of it
I'm personally loving the low ponytails first summer especially
Over the shoulder with a one shoulder or off the shoulder top and hip as they are super cute you can also do this with
Straight hair to make it a lot more sleek and formal. You could do a half up half down ponytail a half ponytail
There's so many different things you could do so if you do recreate it don't get the tag me on Instagram
