Hair Trend: The Hair Knot

Okay girls, so this summer knotted hair is in! Okay I'm not talking about having your hair tangled and unkempt, I mean literally tying your hair into a knot. Made popular after appearing in the S/S 2011 Michael Kors show, the hair knot is the perfect messy but chic 'do for the summer.

With it being so hot outside already, who really feels like styling their hair with more heat?! Not me! That's why this look works perfectly for summer. It's simple, pretty and a little undone - so no obsessing over looking perfect, it's not meant to.

Curious as to how this works? Well here are a few instructions:

1. First, spritz the hair with some sort of surf spray like Bumble and Bumble or add some waves with Garnier's Surf Hair putty.

2. Scrunch the hair with product in it to create pretty, fresh from the beach waves. Blow dry only if necessary.

3.Sweep hair to the side to create a deep side part.

4. Seperate your hair in two, and pull the sections to the back of your neck. Tie a knot with your hair, and then tie another one if you want to create a double knot like the one shown here. Then Voila! - yes it really is that easy.
