    Thank you for sticking with me all this time!! I do my best to listen to everyone's suggestions and feedback - you guys are my best source of inspiration!

    You're a very good instructor. Normally I find it hard to follow hair tutorials but your way of explaining and showing the techniques are spot on.

  • @brandiep1982
    @brandiep1982 10 років тому +7

    You do have a lot to say about something "simple"... but for people like me who are NOT hair-style inclined, the details help a lot. the simple things you talk about are things that I would have no clue how to fix. ive tried to do this type of messy bun a million times and it has never worked. lol but I sat at my computer and did with my hands what you were doing (no mirror) and suddenly it worked! thanks!

  • @brookefenwick2488
    @brookefenwick2488 5 років тому +2

    Watched loads of top knot vids and couldn’t get the hang of them. Did this one twice and it freaking works! I’ve got super long, thin hair and it looks like I’ve got thick full hair. Love this tutorial, thank you

  • @Raezioo

    I'm probably the only dude here, but I just wanted to say thanks for the video! I want to get a top knot myself (kinda the hipster with a beard and top knot look :p) but all male tutorials show me how to make those tiny little buns for shorter hair. I know this was probably meant for girls, but thanks anyway. It helped :)

    • @TheMilodilo
      @TheMilodilo 9 років тому +1

      Thomas Raes you are not alone, I will maybe put out a "How to do a messy manbun" when I get a bit longer hair.

  • @dawnh86
    @dawnh86 10 років тому

    Finally. I've been trying to get this right for years. This is the first tutorial that worked for me. I kept thinking maybe my hair or head wasn't right for it. Took me awhile to get the part where you twisted the hair, but I think that's really the key to the bun. I struggled for awhile until I realized I needed to let go of the hair except for my thumb and forefinger to twist the hair. Thanks, great tutorial!

  • @bonnie6624
    @bonnie6624 10 років тому

    THANK YOUUU! I've watched so many messy bun tutorials and none of them worked with my type of hair ( super thin and short) this is the only tutorial that worked!! Thank you!!!!

  • @MakeupByAlli
    @MakeupByAlli  12 років тому +1

    hey! It's called Some Sweet Day by Chill Purpose...its an instrumental jam ;) I'll make sure to put all the music info in the description box...glad you liked it!!!

  • @skylarlightwood5235
    @skylarlightwood5235 10 років тому +47

    My friend does this the same way but puts her hair into a high-ponytail but doesn't tie it. She then twists it around like you did and wraps it around then ties it.. but the problem with that is because i have such thick hair it weighs it down and the hair just above my neck starts falling out of the bun.... anyone else have this problem?

    • @abc-pi4zz
      @abc-pi4zz 6 років тому

      Skylar Lightwood for me the whole bun just falls right after and the bun only works if its the ballerina type cuz its tight af but idl it :/

  • @briannamurray804
    @briannamurray804 10 років тому

    I really liked that. It's the first messy bun tutorial I have seen that has a good method that looks the similar on everyone. Thanks for sharing. It's classic and cute.

  • @mantorstephanie
    @mantorstephanie 10 років тому

    This is the only tutorial I've seen that actually makes a messy bun possible for my super thin and long hair and I've seen tons of them!Thanks!

  • @SuperHunkiFunkimunki
    @SuperHunkiFunkimunki 9 років тому +1

    You are a LIFESAVER!! This is perfect for when I'm in a rush and my hair is a couple days dirty and it works as well (I've tried others and they dont)! also my hair is REALLY long and it still looks good so yeah...Thanks for a quick and easy tutorial! :) x

  • @bumblebee2301
    @bumblebee2301 4 роки тому +1

    I am 27 years old and have NEVER figured out how to do a top bun until tonight!!! You’re a lifesaver! Not a single video I’ve ever watched mentioned the crucial detail of not tying at the bottom of the bun and I think that’s why I’ve been failing. Regardless, thank you! I can truly embrace my mom look now 🤪

  • @ccape8
    @ccape8 12 років тому

    I had to work 12 hours in the hospital ER yesterday - I did my hair like this and got so many compliments, and it stayed out of my face all day. THANKS! :)

  • @TheCyanPrincess
    @TheCyanPrincess 12 років тому

    i tried this tonight and it worked first time! Definelty wearing this when i have a bad hair day or for games/under my swimming cap! Thank you so much, i've finally found a topknot that stays in place and doesn't flop about/down! Your awesome Alli!

  • @KBYEFOREALZZ
    @KBYEFOREALZZ 11 років тому

    You have no idea how much I've been wanting to be able to do this but since I don't know anything about hair styles, I've always failed. I never tried twisting it and when I did, it worked. Thank you!

  • @Kbenson236
    @Kbenson236 10 років тому

  • @blkazn77
    @blkazn77 10 років тому

    My hair is long thick and curly, but I do my topknot this way too! I don't use hair spray, though because it pretty much stays put. I use leave in conditioner before I get started to tame fly aways and make the edges of my hair look nice and tame.

  • @sawhit1

    @JakeIsFine379 12 років тому

    Very well done tutorial and it looks adorable on you. I would love to wear this look... BUT my hair is way too thick and heavy to wear it like this without it being uncomfortable. I think your kind of hair is perfect for this particular look. And your make-up looks so pretty w/ the earrings and that lip color!!
