Why use Extensions for a Top-Knot?

If you feel that your hair is too thin to create the full look you desire, you can take comfort in the fact that you are not alone. Without the extra volume, a top knot can appear too flat or small on the top of the head. Cashmere Hair Extensions is a vital tool that can be used to create fuller hairstyles making it easy for one to achieve the perfect hairstyle just like those seen on Pinterest.

Step 1: Section Your Hair
First, divide the hair into sections. Start from where your ears are and follow a part that moves upwards to the top part of your head, making a half ‘U’ shape. This sectioning is important as it will guide where to place your extensions. A higher section gives you the opportunity to add more volume at the crown area which is key to an ideal top knot.

Step 2: Add the Extensions
For this look, you’ll be using two wefts: a seven-inch weft and the eight-inch weft. Align these wefts one atop the other to pack them in and give them maximum volume. Put them into the part that you prepared and make sure they are firmly attached and equally spaced. The double stacking method will guarantee that your top knot will contain the density that it requires to appear voluminous.

Step 3: Texturize for Extra Volume
For those with thin hair, an excellent technique that can make your top knot much more impressive is applying a texturizing spray or dry shampoo right into the roots. This helps add body and texture to create more control over your hair and add that little extra boost. You simply spray it on your roots with your hair and then massage it into your scalp with your fingertips.

Step 4: Create the Top Knot
Once your extensions are installed and your hair texturized it is time to blend your hair and create the top knot. Pull your hair back, gather it to the crown of your head, and fasten it with an elastic band. Then, twirl the ponytail and place it around the base to create a bun. Pin the bun in place with the bobby pins and make sure it feels secure and positioned evenly.

Step 5: Finish Your Look
To give it that extra personal touch, take out some of the hair at the front to frame your face. This reduces some of the stiffness or harshness of the more structured top knot and makes it look casual and relaxed, perfect for that effortless date night look. Adjust the style further to the desired style and shape depending on your face structure and preferred style.
