Top knots aren't just for all your besties with long locks. As long as you accept that it's going to be more of a messy look, you and all the other short-haired ladies can totally rock the look too. Ideal for wearing around the home or dressing down a sequin dress a la Hailey Bieber, all you need to know how to do it properly.

As hairstylist Sarah Potempa told Allure, the key is to "look up while brushing hair into a ponytail, which will let you avoid any bumps in the back." And if you're worried about all your layers falling out, you don't need to be. "Spraying the brush with hair spray will properly get all the layers in place," advised Potempa.
