Upgrade Your Half-Up Topknot This Summer With These 15 Ideas

The messy half-up topknot has taken over Parisian streets and is your easiest take on the hairstyle. Celebrity hairstylist and T3 brand ambassador Laura Polko recently showed POPSUGAR how easily it can be achieved with just a curling wand and an elastic.

Working in braids — like these single twists that flow from the actual knot or the strategically placed braids shown ahead — is a simple way to upgrade the Summer hairstyle.

Elevate your half-up topknot with the volume created from your natural curls, kinks, and waves.

Adding hair accessories like hair jewels, chains, and scrunchies is a quick way to make your half-up topknot shine.

Instead of a loose knot, twist your topknot slightly tighter and into a coil to give it a more structured feel.
