Messy Textured Top Knot with Soft Curtain Fringe
How to Make
The messy textured top knot with a soft curtain fringe combines modern casual flair with youthful crown elevation. This updo positions a loosely looped bun directly on the crown of the head, creating an immediate vertical lift that lengthens rounder face shapes and accentuates high cheekbones. The parted curtain fringe splits naturally down the center, curving gently outward past the temples to frame the face with soft, touchable movement. This approachable updo delivers high practical value for daytime errands, casual brunches, and relaxed home styling, providing a chic, put-together appearance in less than ten minutes.
Apply a lightweight volumizing mousse to dry roots, flipping your head upside down and brushing all hair smoothly upward toward the crown. Gather the hair into a high ponytail on top of the head, securing it with an elastic band, but pull the hair only halfway through on the final wrap to create a loose loop. Wrap the remaining tail ends loosely around the base of the loop to hide the elastic, pinning the ends with two bobby pins. Use your fingers to gently tug outward on the edges of the loop, expanding its shape into a messy, textured bun. Part your front bangs down the center, using a mini flat iron to flick the curtain ends softly away from the eyes before setting with hairspray.
