[quote name='Kati' post='28299' date='Feb 17 2006, 09:01 PM']The Top Knots are awsome - they´re very different from ours here in GER or UK, thats for sure. But I think they did a great work with them. My wish is just to see "life" how they make them![/quote]
The ones I've seen being put up have lots and lots of bands, Kati. You do a topknot in the front, teasing it to make a pouf, put the bow on that one, make another topknot behind that, attach the two together, then start building up the palm tree, banding hair from the two topknots, or at least that's how it was explained to me. Even seeing it done live a few times, I'm not sure I could do it! Of course, when it's all up in the air, you take a curling iron to it and then a bit more teasing and then the hairspray. I did see one topknot on the video that I thought looked pretty nice. They had brought the hair down in the back so that if flowed into the hair at the back of the head. Far prettier than the ones that look good from the front, but are all flat and just "up there" from the side.
