This one simple trick will bring your top knot to the next level

Buns are the perfect go-to style when you want to get your hair up and out of your face in seconds. And they're especially great when then weather isn't exactly hairstyle-friendly. 

Sometimes though, the finished result can look a little, well, sloppy. 

This can be a bother for many of us; all we want to know is the secret to a bun that's messy enough to be stylish but polished enough to be work-appropriate. 

Well, the answer is teasing. Teasing your hair before putting it up on your head is a must-do step in your styling routine. It will make your bun look so much better. 

Here's how to do it:

Divide your hair into two sections; top and bottom. You can secure the top with a clip while you follow the next step. 

Tease the bottom section with a long tail comb, then secure it with bobby pins. 

Twist the bottom section up to add a little bit of texture to your do'. 

Next, smooth the top section of your hair with a cushion brush.

To finish, roll the top section of hair around the bottom section to create your bun and secure it tightly with bobby pins. 

The teased bottom section adds support, ensuring that your style has both volume and stability!
