Twisted Knot Hairstyle | Teen Hairstyles

This twisted knot hairstyle is one that really can work for any age, as long as you’ve got enough hair to pull back & make the knot, but it’s definitely great for your tween or teen!

Step 1 – Part hair

Make an off-center part on the top of the head and then part from ear to ear.

 Step 2 – Twist the hair

Starting on the left side, take the hair in front of the ear & twist it inward toward the head.

 Step 3 – Secure twist temporarily

Because this isn’t a rope braid, the hair will untwist immediately unless you secure it.  Simply take a small clip and secure it to the hair in back temporarily.

 Step 4 – Make another twist

On the right side, repeat step 2, twisting the hair inward – toward the head.

 Step 5 – Cross the twists

Carefully remove the claw clip from the left twist and cross the right twist over the left one to start making a shoe string knot.  This part may be a little tricky to keep the hair twisted while forming the knot.

 Step 6 – Make a knot

For this part, it really helps to have the hair damp to reduce fly-aways.  If you want a messier look, skip that part!  Just like tying your shoe, pass the right twist up under the left twist and pull tight.

 Step 7 – Finish the knot

Repeat step 6, crossing the right twist over the left & pull it through so you’ve created a nice big knot.

Step 8 – Pull  knot tight

Step 9 – Secure knot

Right below the knot, secure it with a small rubber band.

Finished!

When I did this, we set the knot slightly off-center to the left, but you can position it wherever you like on the back of the head.

This is a quick & easy one & looks great for any occasion.  You could always make more than 1 knot down the back for a pretty look too!
