17. High Top Knot with Wispy Bangs
The high top knot with wispy bangs is a classic, chic updo that offers an instant face-lift and a touch of effortless French-girl style adapted beautifully for textured hair. The main body of the hair is gathered into a high, neat bun at the very top of the crown, while the front section is styled into soft, textured, wispy bangs that brush gently against the eyebrows. This look is incredibly flattering for oval and heart-shaped faces, as the bangs frame the eyes and forehead beautifully, adding a soft, mysterious allure.
If you don’t have natural bangs, you can easily recreate this look using a clip-in curly fringe or by taking a section of hair from your ponytail, draping it forward over your forehead, and securing it with bobby pins to mimic the appearance of bangs. To keep your top knot looking neat, wrap a small section of hair around the base of the bun to cover the hair tie. Use a light-hold hairspray or oil sheen to keep the wispy bangs looking bouncy, light, and full of natural movement.
