Looking for a quick, chic hairstyle that adds volume and style to your look? A half-up top knot using the most luxurious user-friendly clip-in extensions on the market from Cashmere Hair is the perfect solution for an instant confidence boost. Whether you're heading to a casual outing with your girls or a special event with your boo, this tutorial will show you just how simple it is to achieve this popular hairstyle, all while adding both volume and thickness to your hair. Let’s dive into the details!

Step 1: Sectioning Your Hair

Start by sectioning off some hair about an inch above your ears. You’ll be stacking two wide tracks from your set of Classic clip-in extensions here to create the base for your top knot. 

First, take the 7-inch wide weft and place it to your hair about an inch below your part starting with the middle clip. Gently clip the remaining clips into place, making sure it sits comfortably and securely. Once you’ve secured the first weft, you can then take the 8-inch weft and clip it directly above the 7-inch weft, using the same process. This double stacking technique helps to add more volume to the base and ensures that the extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

Step 2: Adding Smaller Wefts for Volume

Next, we’ll be adding in the smaller wefts in your full set of extensions to give your top knot some more fullness. Begin by parting your hair a few inches higher than the last part you made, closer to where your temple is. This part should be higher than you would normally place your third weft when clipping your extensions in for a down hairstyle because we’re pulling the hair into a half-up, half-down style.

Take the 6-inch weft and clip it into place begining with the middle clip and working your way outward. Since this section will be secured into the top knot, it’s important that you don’t clip the weft too close to your scalp. This will prevent the sides from being exposed when you pull your hair back into the knot. Adding in these smaller wefts will help give your top knot some extra volume without weighing it down.

Step 3: Pulling Hair into the Top Knot

Now, it’s time to create the top knot. Let down the previous section of parted hair once you've clipped in the remaining wefts. Pull your hair into a half-up ponytail, and be sure to note as you gather your hair, be sure to run your fingers right along where the top weft was placed to ensure it’s fully included in the ponytail. Be sure to also include enough hair into the top knot surrounding the wefts to ensure that the wefts and clips remain hidden.

Once your hair is completely gathered, secure the ponytail with an elastic. You can either leave it as a ponytail for a sleek look or twist it into a top knot for a more releaxed finish.

Step 4: Final Touches

To complete this effortless look, gently tug and pull at the top knot to add more volume and texture. Pull out a few face-framing pieces for a more relaxed and effortless vibe. Finish with some texture spray and some loose hold hairspray. This final step adds extra hold and makes the hairstyle appear more natural.

With your Cashmere Hair extensions seamlessly blended into your natural hair, you now have a full, voluminous half-up top knot that’s perfect for any occasion!
