One Minute Knotted Half Up
Hair March 8, 2016I have teamed up with Lauren Conrad Blog again to share another hairstyle how to! This one is great because it seriously takes 1 minute to do. Then you can add curls if you want or leave it straight/wavy! I love easy quick hairstyles I can do when my front pieces arent curled or done - getting the front pieces out of the way always makes hair look more put together. My hair went wild during pregnancy and also after - I feel like I have bald spots in front now when I pull my hair straight back and the hair is starting to grow in so its like short little hairs growing back in. I honestly didn't even realize I had those bald spots until I pulled my hair in a bun to get in the bath with Atticus the other day! Anyways, I am trying to take extra good care of my hair and got some new products that hopefully help. I am going to keep using them for a bit and I will let you know which I end up liking best. BUT until then hairstyles like this one are going to be on repeat. Here are the steps:
- Tease the base and smooth it out (if you want to have extra volume)
- Take two sections from the front of your hair - the bigger the section the bigger the knot in back will be and the more bobby pins you will need.
- Pull the two sections to the back of your head and tie a knot. Hold the knot in place and pin it til it is secure.

This is such a gorgeous hairstyle! I’ve been looking for hairstyle ideas for my next holiday, I think I might try this! Xxx

I absolutely love you and your blog! I am an avid clip in extension user and I’m always looking for brands with highlighted blondes that blend nicely. Any suggestions?
I can not believe how beautiful your hair are. In addition, the way you tie your hair … so simple and at the same time giving the effect.

This is a great post! As a mom of two little boys, I’m always looking for a quick hairstyle. Seriously, I have the weird little patches of hair growing back after pregnancy too! Wth is that all about?! Praying for it to grow out quickly!

My other sister showed this to me and i LOVED it!! So…for a party that is going to be happening soon, i will try this!! I also loved your “Half-up Halo Braid+Soft Curls!” I was wondering where you got all your ideas? I’m more of a person to put my hair in a ponytail, and call it good. I want to try new things and came across this! Thanks!
Aww yay!! I am so glad to hear that 🙂 And I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest. Thanks so much for the comment!!! xo
Lovely! I want a simple yet elegant hairstyle for my wedding, and I think I’ve found it! 🙂

So cute! 🙂 I loved it, it’s so simple, easy and fast, I’ll def try it :). Visit my website: http://allbaby.me
Thanks so much Chloe!! So glad you liked it 🙂
Beautiful! What do you use to curl your hair most often? If I were to buy one tool to do the waves/curls what would you recommend?
I love the Nume wands! http://numeproducts.com/styling-tools/curling-wands/

Easiest style – so in love! I lost a bunch of hair in the front too. Still not back 1 year later! Just one of the fun side effects of pregnancy 😉
Thank you!! SO glad you liked it 🙂
Super cute hairstyle. My hair is falling out like crazy since I recently had a baby. I feel like my hair is thinning on the top. So is it best to avoid pulling it back or putting it up? I look forward towards hearing about the products you like best …. I’m nervous my hair will just keep falling out :/
Thanks so much Jodie!! And I recently bought some products to try out but I want to make sure they work before recommending them 🙂 So if I see a difference and love them, I will post about them! xo
Amber it’s ok ! I know your a very busy mama I can wait!
Serious hair goals!

Hi! I have an important question for you! I also recently moved to NY and am on the hunt for a great blonde colorist! Was wondering if you have any reccomendations since your color is fantastic and we all know how tragic a poor color can be!
Yes!!! Of course!! I go to Flores at Salon! She is amazing and decently priced! So it’s a win win 😉 http://arrojonyc.com/studio/team/rachel-flores
Hey could u please look at the email I sent you?
I get a lot of emails daily, I am sorry I haven’t got to it yet. Please be patient with me 🙂
You have the most amazing hair and hairstyles! My hair hates doing anything, it is so hard to even keep a curl!

I tried this hairstyle today + I love it! It is perfect for those early mornings when I want to do something with my hair, but…not too much 😉 I’m sorry about the bald spots in your hair – I have had that happen and it can be upsetting at first. Your hair looks gorgeous, we can’t tell 🙂

YAY!! So glad to hear that!!! I bet it looked gorg on you!! And aww thanks!! I am hoping they will fill in quickly 🙁
K sooo cute!!! Did your hair grow during pregnancy at all and then fall out after? I hear that’s super common!! I feel like my hair is just normal during pregnancy so I HOPE it stays normal after, too. But anyways LOVE this simple little knotted half updo! And your curls!! Love it all 🙂

Amber how do you normally style your hair with post partum hair loss and incoming baby hairs? My kids are the same ages as yours and I’m having the same issue (again) with hair loss, and then new baby hairs will grow in and be all wonky around my hairline. I don’t even know how to part my hair now to try to hide it! Any tips would be greatly appreciated. (And my hair is the same length and texture as yours, and I do lots of braids too but I can’t seem to cover it up like you can.)
Depending on where the hair loss is, I just try and style around it and pin pieces back where I need to. I don’t typically leave it all down, I either braid it back or pull it half back like this 🙂 And around the hairline is hard!! I do my best to tuck those baby pieces in and use hairspray. I rely on my hair extensions too!!
I also love hair styles that are quick and easy. This one is so cute, and a great go-to! I’ve been trying to thicken my braids by pulling them apart like you do-but I’m feeling like my hair is slightly on the short side so it looks kind of mess (which sometimes looks cute I guess). What is your fav product to spray in your hair before you do a braid that you want to last you all day? Also, what’s that bright pink polish you always wear on vacation? I’m obsessed with it. xoxo
I am so happy you liked it!! Thanks so much! And oh good!! I am glad you are trying them out! I bet it looks cute messy like that 🙂 And I love to use some sort of texturizing spray before (Oribe has a good one) and Moroccan Oil hairspray afterwards (it is so light and holds great). And I always get my nails done at the salon and just grab a color, so I don’t know what it is 🙁 But I love Essie and OPI brands!! xo
I love this! It is so cute and SO simple!!

Well from all of your pictures you cannot tell that you have lost hair or that it is thinning, it still looks fabulous! I actually noticed my hair thinning about 3 months into my new vegan diet. I started Biotin supplements and have seen a great improvement in the past few weeks of taking them!

I love this!! So easy and simple, but still so pretty 🙂 definitely couldn’t tell that your hair went wild! It has been looking just as gorgeous as ever.
Thank you so much!! I am so happy you loved it!! And thanks for being so sweet, you are the best!! xo
So pretty, I cut my hair shorter when I had my little one because she keeps pulling out my hair! Your beautiful braids makes me want to grow my hair long again!
http://www.satinsundays.blogspot.com
That is smart!! I am guessing I will need to cut mine in the future! It is definitely tricky with little ones 😉
I loved the hair style! Please let me know about the hair products that you used. I am also going bald after my recent pregnancy.
