Listen, we love a messy bun… but we also love the super sleek Y2K vibe that’s seen strands get neater and a little more ‘done’. This is how we feel right now. We crave comfort (still clinging to our sweats), but also want to feel pulled together and a little bit schmancy.
If there was one hairstyle that could represent us right now, it would probably be the twist-knot. The trend is constantly popping up in our Insta grid. Experts who know the assignment, we can tell, are 100% on board.

The trend calls for hair to be neatly combed at the crown or trimmed in the middle. Then the hair is twisted into a knot with looser ends. This is a cool-girl alternative to the mullet that is known for being business-in-the front, party-in the back. Ditto—only this is way more wearable.
It is versatile and would look great with any outfit, including a black tie event, paired with a stylish outfit and a bold lip.

Even better, the twist knot bun is truly delicious SoIt’s easy to do. To ensure a neat front, all you need is a hairbrush (middle parteing optional). We recommend misting your hair with a light hairspray to keep it snatched. If your hair is curly or coily, a gel will give you extra hold.
For extra grip, you can tie your hair back in a ponytail. This is just below where you would place a high ponytail, at crown. You can also straighten your ponytail by twisting it from the top to its bottom. The twist can be wrapped around itself in an old-fashioned bun. Secure the ponytail with a hair tie.
