How to: Celtic Knot Half Updo and Ponytail!

[@Megalizabeth9]

I feel like I wouldn't have spent so long figuring this out if I had seen this weeks ago! lol. The bobby pin idea is great, because when I was learning this, the loop was what came undone the most. And it's nice that you explained the over under the way you did, so many other tutorials get you all kinds of confused.

[@marvelousnails9149]

Just came from your most recent tutorial using the Celtic knot and I nailed it first time thank you hair queen 👸

[@ElleIsForLiving]

I absolutely love how creative you are with all these beautiful hairstyles :-) Elle

[@reesen1497]

This was so helpful, thanks so much! The other vids I saw on KZbin trying to explain this knot were too fast, and their hands were blocking everything, but this was perfect :) thank you!

[@DreamyGirl73]

Thanks! Your video is so much easier to understand than many others, and it's great to see someone doing it on themselves, rather than a model - which is always easier! :)

[@jacquelineganun3042]

The ponytail is gorgeous. I bet you would get a lot of compliments whenever you wear this!

[@MsAerosensa]

If you have an extra 5 min and enough hair, a great way to make this even easier is to braid the sections that will form the knot. :)

[@kishamuch]

Wow. You really are a great help. This hairstyle reminds me of Blair Waldorf's many complicated looking hair do's but you did it all so easy and taught us how to get it also done. Your are such a blessing. Thank you!

[@CuteMakeupLover]

It took me a minute to realize she shaid "to make this knot as easy as possible", not "to make this NOT as easy as possible".. silly me...

[@laurashaw10]

I just did it with little english braids instead of loose hair, and found it way easier and a pretty alternative! Definitely recommend trying little braids, especially when you're first mastering the technique!

[@Aminna1997]

I don't even know why I'm watching these tutorials when the most complicated hairstyle I manage to do is a ponytail

[@MightyMouse1222]

It also looks pretty awesome if the sections are braided. This is my go to to jazz up a low side pony - with the sections braided tightly, you can space the figure 8 out to look even spiffier.

[@MightyMouse1222]

If you're really adventurous, do multiple braids and arrange them to lay flat next to each other... like a 3 stranded celtic figure 8 knot for macrame... it's pretty awesome.

[@NailArtTutorials28]

Looks so pretty on your hair! Your hair colour and the curls compliment each other so well, I love the ponytail version :)

[@chtitmog]

Love how you explain things so that we can REALLY recreate what you do in a video. Your tutorials are never confusing. Thank you! :-D

[@hajjaholland]

this is absolutely beautiful. your hair color is so gorgeous! thanks kayla. will try

[@theoriginal4ever7]

absolutely stunning! i love it! it takes a couple of tries to get right but after that its surprisingly easy! thanx!

[@pandrag217]

I finally got it!!! Sorry I am still a newbie on doing cool things with my hair. Normally I use a claw and twist into a french twist practically every day. WooHoo I am branching out. Thanks Kayley!!

[@eydislk1597]

I never thought about pinning the strand of hair this helped me a lot !

[@Emble7]

This is so beautiful Kayley!!! I think this is one of my favourite simple hairstyles you've made!! xo

[@meredithlong1993]

Love this look! Can't wait to try it! Could you please do a video on different ways to wear your bangs/fringe when you wear a bun? I always wear a bun for dancing but the front part of my hair always ends up looking so flat. Thanks!

[@rithug]

Best celtic knot tutorial I have ever seen

[@blurrmooo]

Omg i love this hairstyle so much

[@Lmg4495]

Just spent like 15 minutes trying to figure this out with my mom! We had a few laughs but it ended up working perfectly and I love it! Thanks for the tutorial

[@StephAnn094]

Love it. I might try this on my little girls hair.

[@caitlinstanley8794]

I LOVE THIS. It looks so elegant and beautiful. Definitely going to try this out. Thank you so much!

[@PotatoKing16]

It looks cool! Almost like an infinity!

[@erikamagrisse]

Wow!! This hairdo is just so pretty!!! And I'm amazed at how easy it actually is. Loved it! :)

[@rabaciojocelyn]

I so enjoyed watching this braid works!

[@LotteCB]

This was explained so well! I HAVE to try and do this this weekend! :D I've wanted to learn for sooooo long! Thank you!

[@Pandoraqua]

The best tutorial on this hairstyle i really appreciate your vids! Keep up the good work !

[@5678anna]

OMG!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I have not been able to do this knot in for like EVER, and now i finally worked!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :D

[@Thesarahspalletta]

Such a good easy-to-follow tutorial. As always I love your videos!

[@ramblingsngrace]

Love this beautiful knot! Definitely trying it! Thanks SO much for the tutorial!!!

[@AllieHe]

Perfect idea for getting close to St. Patricks Day!

[@hayleemagill8876]

Ahh!!! Thank you!! I have been wanting to learn how to do this and the picture tutorials are just not cutting it! Thank you!!!!!

[@Emma-nl5wk]

I've been wondering how to do this knot on your own hair for a long time, so thank you!!! :D

[@HaleyJoe]

I just got a job at an Irish pub and the ponytail will be perfect for working there :)

[@katherinealexis6364]

Thank you so much for this. I've seen other tutorials and have gotten confused, but this one made it simple.

[@shoshishoshi127]

This is the best celtic knot tutorial so far!!! THANKS MUCH MUCH!!! :)

[@melissamarrufo1610]

I love your hair tutorial ♥ They are amazing!!

[@schnute13]

Thank you soooo much. I ve been trying to do a celtic knot and it never turned out right. Your steps were very easy to understand. 😊 thanks do much. I will definitely try your method😊

[@MKP131]

Best tutorial I've seen for this!

[@melunited90]

Definitely trying this ...

[@peplloyd]

Oh my bob. You said "Make this knot easy as possible" I thought you said, "make this not easy..." I was like "whaa?!" Haha. Great tutorial! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks! ! :)

[@emanando138]

You make and explain everything so clearly and simple!! It looks so much easier to do this way (with the bobby pin idea) love your videos, byee! Xo

[@stinger263]

Hi! I love your videos, but this one has me in a rut. I've tried to replicate this hair style for a few days and I think my hair type just doesn't work for it! I'm Asian, with straight slightly thick hair (mid back length.) It is also very...slippery. I tried adding styling products to my hair to help it not me so slippery but it not help. My loop that I pin, does not stay pinned (slips out of the bobby pin(s)), and my end result (a big...knot) does not stay in place by itself. Even when I pin the mess of hair to get it to stay, the hair does not stay in place. Any suggestions? Than you! ! Xoxo

[@madmacmak]

Thank you for your tips and tricks on this :) I seen this tutorial done before but always had trouble with it but this is makes it easy.

[@ninthnin]

I got the half up style easily enough, but I found the ponytail next to impossible. It just won't work on my fine, wavy, layered hair, even when I've flat-ironed it straight. It turns into a frizz knot on the back of my head, haha! Thanks for the well-explained tut! You were right, it does get easier once you get the hang of it.

[@necionatah9588]

Ohhh thank you, this is such a cute hairstyle and much simpler than I thought!! :D

[@nadinev.1810]

so much better than other tutorials I've seen, thank you! :)

[@ashleycummings2691]

I love it simple but very put together...nice

[@peacherskitty01]

Love the knot in the low ponytail! I am going to try this for church on Sunday. I have shorter hair than you so hopefully it will work. Also, since my hair is naturally wavy should I leave it in its natural state or straighten it? I saw that you had curled a bit of your hair so I was wondering. Thanks!

[@JelenaKruselj]

I will definitly try this, maybe I succeed, I have two months until my wedding day :-) if not, I have your other tutorials, you are very good teacher Kayley

[@sophiagotzig6965]

for a variation of the style: braid a rope braid on each side out of the chosen hair section and do the knot with the braids according to the instructions in the video it's actually easier because you don't have the struggle with loose hair and the knot looks really advanced and fancy

[@emilywellman202]

Thanks so much! I've been wanting to learn how to do this for a while.

[@J0yfulGr4titud3]

WOWZA so much better explained that other videos ive seen!

[@Waldorfdarling]

This is so freaking cool. I need to try this!!!!

[@mizsusie]

I couldn't quite get the hang of it, so I braided the two sections, tried it again, and I got it the first time. It looks pretty good with braids.

[@coppersense999]

Good idea.

[@1TheFashionDiaries1]

Gorgeous! Love your tutorials. Can you do a look inspired by Morgana Pendragon from Merlin?

[@annediee]

I really love this style

[@cheekyismymiddlename]

definitely going to try this for the christening i'm attending this weekend :)

[@victorialisa_]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY TUTORIAL I WATCHED THAT WORKED (sorry for all caps, but I think this occasion needed it) thank you!

[@msblackpinkie6866]

OMG Kayley thank you sooo much! I saw a tutorial with just pictures and I could not get it done. The bobby pin is so much help! I can't wait to try this. Hehe although I did just cut my own hair in layers last night so it might be more difficult but still I'll give it a try. Oh and don't worry everybody my hair looks fine :p (I did follow a tutorial on that too)

[@mleung25]

wow - this looks awesome! definitely trying it.

[@misdrexify]

Got it! Thanks for breaking it down so well! I actually braided the 2 sections first since my hair wasn't behaving... =)

[@arasbloom]

Great hairstyle, definitely using the celtic knot for Monday- Alicia :)

[@ivycivyc]

Amazing, you have the best hair tutorials everrrrrr!!!

[@insiyahalvadwala4328]

i love this this is so cute simple n unique hairstyle i love this

[@stayinitaly]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I've been trying for months to do this on myself, but I could never do it! Thank you!! It's amazing!! 😄😍

[@jessarose3346]

OMG thankyou! First time I've actually managed to be able to do this damn knot haha. Absolutely perfect instructions

[@GwynMarchog]

Thank you!!! I was searching for an easy way to do the celtic knot but with my very thin hear it looks very small (is the first time i'm able to do it). So is there a way to make it and make it look bigger?

[@dianeverrochi6468]

I totally have to try this!

[@LadyLynn007]

This looks very pretty! I'm so going to try this :D

[@riv05060]

Didn't you do this some time ago?? Either way I loooooove how easy you make everything :) love you!!!!

[@ZendayaForever99]

Soooooo pretty Love it. Thanks for the tutorial

[@Shanayadiya2002]

Hi! Which shampoo and conditioner do you use? Your hair look really healthy

[@91Meriah]

Thanks for the bobby pin tip!! I've been trying to do this for awhile now. :)

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

This is actually an AMAZING TUTORIAL. It wasn't difficult at all... THANKS A BUNCHIES!!! :)

[@highcotton63664]

Bravo for showing how to do this yourself! Most of us don't have someone to do our hair for us in the morning :D

[@staciamiabeauty8001]

I LOVED this hair tutorial!!! :-)

[@Stephanie_Vincent]

Such a great idea. Would never work on my thick wavy hair, though.

[@FrootLoopKicker]

Stephanie, I set out to prove you wrong this morning, and you are absolutely right. I tried to do this on my thick, curly hair, and though I can repeat the steps back verbatim and have never had much of an issue with the other styles, after 30 minutes of trying I was late for work, and my hair was a mess. I ended up doing two rope braids on the sides of my head and tying those into a square knot above the pony tail... Note to curly girls: this one may not work for you!

[@MeritCullen]

Lisa Runion You seem to be right. My hair is only shoulder length, and I thought that was the problem. However, when I did manage to make the knot, it just got lost with the curls and you could barely see it.

[@stephanievincent1333]

I had similiar results. It looked like a fancy bun on my wavy hair.

[@nicole043]

Thanks so muchhhh!!! Finally knew how to do this!!!

[@marief5812]

Very helpful tutorial! But I continue having the Same problem... It isn't secure....even if I use two bobby pins on each side it stays loose and it loses it's original shape quite fast...what can I do about it?

[@myla_rose2422]

Wow this is the first time i've been the first viewer of a popular youtubers video! exciting!

[@fionafornarina]

Very nice tutorial! Thank you!😊

[@DDubyeah]

So pretty!!

[@Mishellaby]

How do keep your hair soft and wavy at the same time? I love it!

[@ninthnin]

Could be that she flat-irons it and then uses the flat-iron to add a bit of curl.

[@alvarezandre]

it is FREAKING awesome.

[@foreverdancing3]

love this! nice job!

[@loujainpotter8634]

so pretty !

[@chloepham13]

This is so awesome! Thank you!

[@ellesonya5679]

Another great style. I'm sad Februhairy is almost over!

[@katy7088]

lol not even gonna do this, but so pretty!

[@laurenwhit279]

This will be perfect for St. Patrick's Day! :)

[@lisa0590]

tried it for like 20 times. didn't work. then I had to admit, that my hair is still too short for that hairstyle :D so I will repeat this in a couple of months, because it looks really gorgeous

[@kristengann6864]

I want to try this but my hair is sooo thick and so straight I font think it will hold even with bobby pins but I am going to give it a try. :)

[@molsondutch93]

THANK YOU, this finally makes sense!

[@CK_Loves_Tea]

Thank you SOOOOOO much for this!!

[@NerdGirlXovyn]
