I finally got around to recording the tutorial for a knotted bun up-do! The video is kind of long (sorry), but I pride myself on being thorough. (Actually, I could still be thorough without being long, but I only recored this once. I usually record a couple times and figure out what really needs to be said vs. me just rambling - like I am now.)
This bun is easy to do and takes very little time - especially for being visually interesting. I mentioned in the video, and I'll say it here, tying your hair in a knot can be frustrating. It took me a while to get it down, so don't get discouraged if you have trouble initially. Just practice.
The hairstyle is so versatile! It can easily be worn to class, work, on the weekend, on a date, or a night out with the girls. You can tie the knot low for a romantic feel or up higher where a ponytail might sit. You can also comb hair back for a more clean, finished look or pull pieces out (like I did) for a more messy, effortless look - it's all up to you. Good luck!
Here's what I used:
Dirty hair
Dry shampoo
Texturing spray/balm
Spin hair pins (optional)
Bobby pins
Teasing comb
Hairspray
See a picture of the bun here.

You are too cute! What a great tutorial! I felt like we were girlfriends, just hanging out, talking about hair. Thanks for the inspiration to get my hair out of the far too simple pony tails I've been wearing too much of lately.

What a fabulous tutorial! I can't wait to give it a try ;). Do you have a favorite brand of dry shampoo? I have never tried it before, but it looks quite helpful!
Thanks,

Thanks for recording that. I want to try it when my hair gets longer! I'm a bit jealous of your thick locks...I think I have about as much hair as half of your half. :)
This is genius! I tried it as I was watching the video (luckily my hair is definitely dirty as I went to the beach yesterday and still haven't showered...I knew there was a reason I was procrastinating on that!) and voila! It worked perfectly! And my hair is notorious for not holding any type of style other than straight and limp so thank you for giving me a new option! =)
