Instead of just pulling your hair straight back, try adding something interesting like a braid. You can do the braided half up half down top hairstyle by braiding the top section and then pull it into the top knot. Try a french braid, a dutch braid, one or two braids, whatever you like!
Some people also call this the mohawk braid top knot. Either way, it’s a fun way to add some interest and texture to this hairstyle.
