Boho Topknot

Looking for a hairstyle that is oh-so boho and super easy to create? You’ve come to the right place. Read on for our tutorial on this gorgeous boho topknot!

Topknots are a go to at ZALA! We especially love rocking a topknot with a little helping hands from our clip in hair extensions. Not only do we love the instant added length, clip in hair extensions are also perfect for creating a super voluminous topknot! Although this is optional, we really think it makes all the difference for this boho look. Prior to styling, we applied some 20 inch clip in pieces in Dirty Blonde #12 to our girl Prue. And the before and after is just amazing! Read on for our detailed topknot tutorial.

BOHO TOPKNOT TUTORIAL

1. Once you’ve applied your clips in, brush through your extensions and natural hair to ensure everything is nice and smooth. Remember to leave a 5 clip piece spare if you are applying hair extensions. These pieces will be used for the boho topknot! A top knot bun with extensions is the perfect way to add a little volume to your style.
2. Then, section off the top part of your hair to create the half up style and tie this into a mini ponytail.
3. Take your 5 clip piece and clip around the base of your ponytail. Do the same with your 1 clip piece and then secure it all in place with a hair elastic. These top knot clip in hair extensions will add instant volume to your bun!
4. Leaving a small section aside, twist and wrap the hair around to create your topknot. Pin in place with bobby pins until its all secure.
5. With the hair that is left over, create a fishtail braid and secure it with a hair tie. Fishtail braids are our favorite for boho looks as they always bring on the boho vibes!
6. Use your fingers to pull and loosen the braid before wrapping around the base of your topknot and pinning it in place for that easy top knot.
