What defines Half-up top knot?
A half-up top knot gathers the upper section into a small knot and leaves the lower hair down. The dividing line controls the amount of loose length.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Check how high the knot is visible above the forehead. In profile, locate the point where the upper hair is gathered and compare the loose fall at the jaw.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show how much of the side hair to include and where to place the knot. Discuss whether you want the dividing line crisp or concealed.
