Reasons why I love the Top Knot:

Last time I visited New York, the land of models, I couldn’t help but notice that model or not, every girl was sporting the top knot; and for good reason! The look is modern and sophisticated but edgy and raw. Within just minutes you can achieve a runway look that has been spotted in all the top runway shows. With summer fast approaching, we all know that having long hair gets really annoying, really quickly. No matter how long we spend fixing our hair and putting whatever sprays and serums we can find to prevent the heat from affecting it, within minutes of walking out the door our straight hair is curly and our curly hair is straight. So what better way to prevent a hair disaster then top knotting your hair. Between attending fashion design school and cosmetology school, I’m currently looking for a clash between the two and I really can’t think of a better hair style to convey the clash. Even my favorite style icons, such as, Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth, and Nicole Richie, have all been spotted rocking the Top Knot. I really have become obsessed with this simple yet bold hairstyle and will be sporting it any chance I get.
