This hairstyle is what I like to call the elevated weekend top knot. You start by parting your hair half-up from above the ears, leaving out a tiny section to braid around the base.

2. Mist all over with the texturizing volume spray listed below to give your roots and strands grip and fullness.
3. Section off the top half of your hair from just above the ears, leaving a 1-inch strand out on one side near the temple to wrap around later.
4. Gather the remaining top half into a high ponytail at the crown and secure with an elastic, pulling slightly on the crown to add soft height and texture.
5. Twist and wrap the ponytail into a loose, voluminous bun, pinning it securely in place using the matte bobby pins listed below.

I’m seriously in love with this hairstyle. It’s a gorgeous take on a classic bridal ponytail, turning simple segmented sections into these super romantic, voluminous bubbles that cascade effortlessly down the back.
