The modern knot is an updated version of the classic chignon. Here’s how to get the look.
You Will Need
- Clean hair
- A brush
- An elastic band
- Bobby pins
- A paddle brush with boar bristles (optional)
Step 1: Start out clean
Begin with clean hair. A traditional knot stays in place better with day-old hair. But for this messy, modern look, freshly shampooed strands work better.
Step 2: Brush your hair
Brush your hair toward the back of your head.
Using a brush with boar bristles will add shine and reduce frizz.
Step 3: Make a ponytail
Make a ponytail with an elastic band, divide it into two sections, and tug the hair to tighten it.
Step 4: Do the twist
Twist the two sections around each other and keep twisting until you reach the bottom of the tail.
Step 5: Coil it
Now take the twisted ponytail and coil it around the elastic band.
Step 6: Secure it with bobby pins
Secure the knot with bobby pins. Don’t worry if there are loose pieces: A casual vibe is the point of a modern knot.
A Yale University study found that women with hair pulled back are perceived as more intelligent.
