"THE DOLLYKNOT"

The hottest hair trend of the moment. As seen on the catwalks of LFW, The Times Style magazine, even GMTV have mentioned this fresh and contemporary up do. One would assume that the name comes from the resemblance to dolls hair. It is simply a bun on the top of your head, that translates into a classic style which screams individuality and confidence as it is unique without trying too hard. Its also a style that can be easily repeated at home by the untrained individual. It can be messy or really preened and sleek.

All you need to do is sweep hair up to form a mega high ponytail on the top of your head. This is the main step that needs to be adhered to. The hair cant be too low, otherwise it will resemble the classic bun. This more contemporary version must sit on the top of the head, almost so it looks like it is balancing perfectly like a book. Always use some hairspray to assist in holding your hair in place. Once secured, twist your ponytail and mist with some spray. Start wrapping the hair around itself to make a bun. Secure the end of your ponytail by tucking underneath the lowest point of the bun and secure with some kirby grips. DONE.

You can customise the 'dollyknot' depending if you have a fringe or not. For the most dramatic, slightly 80's influenced finish, team with a blunt box fringe (personal favourite). You could also leave some hair down around the face to soften the look if wearing all your hair up off your face is too much.

Bring some power dressing to your next day in the office or even a night out. Its HOT.
