Knot Bun

[@TheSlainey]

Oh Torrin... I just got to my goal of waist and planned to hover there, if not stop outright, and then you upload such a gorgeous hairstyle! My resolve is wavering. You enabler, you. And, and love the sparklie combs!

[@lyamainu]

I've tried to do this bun before, and it never really worked well - but now I can do it! I don't even know what I was doing wrong. -.- Your vids are always like that for me - I'll read/watch tutorials, get my hair in terrible knots, you show it and then I get it right the first time!

[@LyraNoir]

Love this video. I have very thick and long hair and this works even for me. It's so hard to find some good hairstyles for very long hair.

Oh, and I really thought the knot pony looked GORGEOUS in your hair! Usually I'm a bun person, but that was purty purty.

[@JaydedCammie]

I am so excited to see truely long hair videos.

[@hremaddox]

Love this! This took 20 seconds for me to do and holds great with hair sticks.

[@01nightchild]

I just tried this with two spin pins. It's awesome! Thanks for the tute!

[@PurdyBear1]

By far the best video for this Iv seen. I also love the sparklies!

[@verycutest]

My hair is not anywhere near as long as yours yet and I don't know if it ever will be, but I just want to thank you for your tutorials. They are my inspiration for growing my hair long because I want to try these hairstyles so much. Every time I get frustrated and want to cut my hair I just think of your hair taping tutorial and find new resolve.

[@peggyelliott4191]

tailbone length, though thin w/fairytale ends, so have not go nearly the gorgeous fullness of your knot bun, but I was able to figure it out & luv the way it looks & feels. I am "hand-challenged," so always thrilled to find something I can actually get my hands to wrap around!

[@LoriHulstine]

I love this 1. I'm going 2 try this 2day. Rock on Torrin. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@frenchmirabelle]

It's so easy to do ! I got sometimes difficulty to realize yours tutorials on me because my hair are very long but also very, very thick (my hair reach my bottom, but with this knot, i just have 3 inches of ponytail) , happily I'm really stubborn, and the results are really beautiful and original. In France, women who have long hair often make a simple braid, a ponytail or a bun with a stick, but rarely make crown braid or victorian bun, it's not really "fashionably" *sigh* 1000 thank you ! :D

[@tlinton84]

That is so gorgeous. I'm totally going to try that knot ponytail look as well.

[@Flopsi80]

yeah!really great looking and easy bun! I´m wearing it right now-but with scroos,because I like it without a stick. thanks for sharing,I love your videos!

[@silviacostanzo7356]

gosh ur hair are absolutly stunning!!!

[@skraprchik]

Love the forks, and the style. It looks amazing.

[@PukhtunSoulja]

My aim is waist length, and when I do get there... Totally doing this. So very pretty! :o)

[@ElisabettaVS]

Love it! Love also the little clips you use to hold it, they look pretty with your haircolour!

[@laquera640]

finally something pretty that I can actually do! Even though my hair is long never do anything with it and then homecoming comes around and I have no clue what to do! I hate having my hair down when I'm dancing, but I always have a hard time doing anything with it

[@Vilwarin3019]

Great tutorial. The bun worked at the first try. And your hair is really gorgeous.

[@torrinpaige]

Aww, thanks! I'm stoked it worked for you first time. It always feels good when that happens, doesn't it? Lol. It doesn't always happen that way for me, I confess. But, the fact that it did for you means that I taught it correctly. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[@afu842]

Thanks for this torrin :) linked from the LHC as usual. This just about works on my waist length/F/ii hair, shorter and/or thicker hair may have difficulty

[@JayandMaia]

O-M-G! I LOVE that pony style, its so cute but SO easy!

[@Chippyminton13]

My hair is only just long enough to do this - as in when you got to the knotted ponytail stage I had no hair left - but I go the knot bit so I see it as a success! :)

[@Addis1Ababa]

This works perfectly with a french twist comb! Thanks!

[@naindeep2571]

Ohhh so easy and too much pretty😊😊😊

[@AnimaSola3o4]

YAYAY! My hair is finally long enough this! And it's at 'can i call this hip' length. (to non-hair community people, 'hip-length' is where your pants waists sit for the most part. What we now would call our waist, but in reality the waist is higher.

[@WackyLisa]

I just did this bun. I found that it works much better for me if I only do the first wrap around two or three fingers rather than four. Also, that leaves my pinky and maybe ring finger to stabilize things when I'm trying to pull the tail around prior to the pull through. This way I don't have to do a lot of fiddling to tighten things up to keep my bun from looking utterly sloppy.

[@P9Falcipara]

Oh gosh awesome hair! I've got very little hair on my head so I am truly jealous.

[@saundrakirkpatrick]

ha that was so easy i only had to watch the vid twice to get it :) thanks for the great videos! p.s. i think our hair is almost exactly the same length lol

[@jo6731]

This is my go-to easy up-do for my waist length hair.

[@miriliusa]

AMAZING !!!!! GOSH YOUR HAIR IS SO LONG AND PRETTY I LOVED THIS TUTORIAL I WISH I HAD LONG HAIR :)

[@kayec9864]

Holy moley - this is my NEW FAV. Easy, fast, looks nice - what's not to like??

[@tjackson611]

yay ....wonderful...we luv you torrin!!!hello from hannah and tina in ga!

[@spinsterartist]

Adorable! I shall keep growing in hopes of having enough hair for this. ;)

[@AZDesertRose76]

OMG, I'm not the only person who thinks that a French twist with too much hair looks like an alien something-or-other. I've always joked that it looked like an alien was about to be born out of the back of my head. :) Love the do. I actually had mine in a knot bun with pony a few days ago. I wish my hair were still as long as yours. Why on earth did I cut it? Grr.

[@DadaAlano]

I love the video AND I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!

[@apriltaylor84]

my hair is to my knees, hasnt been trimmed or cut in 34 years because of religious beliefs, I have degeneration in both shoulders so sometimes its hard and painful for me to work with my hair. I have been watching your videos and I absolutely love them, an idea! I did the know bun and left the pony down, i got some beak clips in the mail and wanted to use them to make a fan bun, so I did it was the knot bun at top and fan at the bottom, turned out really pretty!!!! thanks so much .

[@Lyn4817]

april taylor I know it is four years since your post but thought I would pass this along anyway. I also have very painful, restricted shoulders. I find it easier to lie on the bed, leaning back against the pillows, so my shoulder blades are supported by the pillow, then I can more easily do my hair. It transfer the weight of the arms and the muscles I use, when putting up my hair. My Doctor couldn't understand how I was managing my long hair (grown through choice and finally refusing to pay out so much for six weekly trims). I learnt years ago about transferring​ the use of muscles in my leg and knee after surgery. I couldn't do a straight leg lift but I could do a side leg lift. So when I started having trouble with my shoulders, I needed a solution. I have been able to help others out after knee surgery who just can't do that perky straight leg lift. I hope it helps.

[@AquaRubyMom]

I recently discovered your videos, you inspired me to keep my hair long. This is such a pretty bun, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them!!

[@x1435]

Lovely :) i love hairstyles that will stay in with little effort x3

[@NargelsLikesMe]

Thanks so much for these tutorials! finally someone with my hairlength :)

[@nonnamaniaayhkle5802]

I have really long hair and this helped me thank u ^^

[@mnmgrly1]

SO PRETTY!

[@EmbraceWithin]

Looks beautiful! I wish my hair was that long

[@torrinpaige]

@Chippyminton13 That's all you need! I just have a little extra left over, so I have to wrap it. It's every bit as pretty with the just the knot. It is the focal point, after all.

[@Lithostoic]

Whoa this is so easy. I wanna do the ponytail version, which is coincidentally my only choice since my hair is only armpit length :P

[@magpiewench]

oh, excellent! so easy, and sent it to a friend who just got to waist length with super thick hair who says she can't put her own hair up! (I think she just needs more hair toys...)

[@JensUniqueNibblesandMore]

This is a great and easy bun! Although for my hair length or texture, "knot pony"- I wish, lol it just slid out. But it made a great bun, secured with spin pins and off to work I go! :)

[@sarcasticcat4982]

This is still my favorite bun.

[@meganmay5104]

woooowww,,, thats simpel but looks great

[@ilonapugmire6312]

Full of never ending 🌷🍀🌷🍀🌷🍀🌷🎀🎀✨️🎀✨️🎀✨️💙 ideas

[@Misako86]

..."alien look like" youre awesome!!!

[@rainbowbw95]

finally a hairstyle i can do

[@torrinpaige]

@Iranaa You might be able to do a half-up, I'm not sure. Just take the top part of your back (like what you'd usually pull back in a barrette) and try it on a smaller scale. A lot of my viewers have told me that when they can't do a full-on bun, they can usually do it on a smaller scale in a half-up. It's worth a try.

[@Jessicahatesherlife]

omg, I adore your hair and this bun is very beautifull! But, and this is very sad, my hair is to short.:(

[@keyholes]

Thank you for this; I've been meaning to try this bun for ages! ps. I like your babble. :)

[@davez71chevy72]

Not sure if Kelly's hair is long enough or not, but I'll show this to her..it's nice.

[@8LaCangry8]

OMG!!! I love it!!!! :)

[@kimberlykimberly5884]

thank you so much for sharing!!

[@LoveBud1765]

Can't wait to try this one! =)

[@TitanicGirl1234]

how long is ur hair it gorgeous!

[@torrinpaige]

@QueenWaterLily I don't know, did you try it? I'd guess you'd have to wrap it around two fingers instead of your whole hand, but maybe not.

[@laurenatorness]

"Any whoodle!" I love you!

[@mimanda]

"and you get.... alien... thing.." LOL!

[@sakshisantosh172]

Wow your hair are so big I love your bun

[@dambreaker]

love it!!

[@mizuza12]

Where do you get those beautiful hair forks?

[@torrinpaige]

Those came from ebay. Just search for rhinestone hair forks/combs. You'll find some.

[@Ooopplaa]

Ooh i love it!!!Thank's!!!

[@bulbafettgo]

Awww i need to wait for my hair to grow out again.

[@afreenqueen5363]

super easy style...... thnx mam

[@spanish4real]

can u tell me rthe name of that type of pins u use and wherr to buy them?

[@CjtrineSky]

Wish my hair was long enough for this, maybe in 3 years lol.

[@torrinpaige]

Wherever I find them. The ones in this vid came from Ebay. I also get them from Etsy, the mall, drugstores, or pretty much any place that sells hair things. I just shop for them like you do anything else. :o) Occasionally I make them myself.

[@torrinpaige]

@355sweta I'm not sure I understand your request. Any of the myriad of buns and up-dos I've done will work for those types of things. Just leave out my tendency to add sparkle and you should be fine. Any braid I do can be bunned and all buns are appropriate for a work setting.

[@mirkwoodmusic]

where can I find forks like the ones you're using?

[@Iranaa]

How can you make this with short hair? I have hair a bit longer till my shoulders but I really watn to make a knot :D

[@shabanaafzal7016]

so sweet

[@riserose3109]

so nice.

[@torrinpaige]

Hairties won't work. You could try spin pins. They will hold it and disappear right into it.

[@sarakooks6042]

How do u get ur hair that long

[@torrinpaige]

Less heat styling, more time between washes, and only trimming when it needs it. That's it, really. Being patient is the hardest thing about growing your hair long. ;o)

[@vanitakamble2614]

+torrinpaige heat styling or hair styling. ? I m confused

[@lovewavefan2523]

Vanita Kamble heat styling, as heat damages the hair and increases your chances for split ends (which can only be gotten rid of by cutting off, no product will 'cure' your split ends).

[@vanitakamble2614]

+Onion Cutting Ninja thanx

[@amritpreetcheema952]

Onion Cutting Ninja thanx

[@Pirustae]

would it be effective to put a rubber tie instead of those forks?

[@mrsirfanqureshi9152]

Soooo easy 👌👌👌👌

[@QueenWaterLily]

Would this work for me I have APL wavy hair ? (arm pit length )

[@eca2014]

i have really really "baby fine" hair that is BSL and i can't do anything with it besides a ponytail, half and half, and very simple english braids...do you have any suggestions for me?

[@9700838620]

Pretty...

[@EmbroideredFlower]

are their tut's that you know of for bs length? I'm so tired of ponytails!!! (and I can't french braid worth a darn! )

[@betheindividual1]

I'm growing out my hair, and it's not quite long enough to do this yet... :( But I will be back when it is!!!!

[@mikaeladeleon7128]

hi Torrin! I've tried this bun but can't seem to get it to feel tight enough. is the knot close to the skull? mine ends up a couple finger widths from my skull.

[@torrinpaige]

You are like me and feel like if it's not tight it's not secure. Lol. So, here's what you do - make it a little bit lower - then twist the whole thing up. That sucker will tighten right up. I do this myself, so I know what you mean by it feeling too loose sometimes. I almost always end up twisting it up just for my own comfort. Loose buns trip me out. ;o)

[@mikaeladeleon7128]

torrinpaige lol exactly! I always end up checking and re checking to make sure the bin hasn't fallen out. I'll try this trick. the bun looks pretty and isn't complicated! double win!

[@torrinpaige]

@bishonenrancher Frankly, I love pencils as hairsticks...they can be any length you need. Too long? Just sharpen that sucker down to the length you desire. I don't mind that they're cheap either. :o) Oh, and I got my pretty sparkly forks on Ebay...the seller is kelly0366 and the combs are going for $3.49 a piece (I bought 4 just because) and the shipping is only $2.99. You can combine and keep the one low shipping rate, so that's also awesome..and cheap!

[@strormef]

super easy great:)

[@QueenWaterLily]

@torrinpaige thanks I'll try the tip you gave me

[@chachaslidein]

pretty

[@jayashreeraman2467]

how is this different from jjj pretzel bun?

[@torrinpaige]

It's made differently. You'll find many of the knotted and wrapped buns are VERY similar. The differences are usually in the way it's put together, wrapped, or when you do the pull through. When I do JJJ's, I use my left hand, I wrap all of my hair under the bun, and then I do the pull through and tuck the ends. When I do this one, I use my right hand, knot first, then wrap around the outside. Similar, yes, but not the same. Mine don't even end up looking the same.

[@alkasom6100]
