This full top knot hairstyle for short thin hair is super easy to do and will help you look your best!
You know when you see that amazing braid tutorial on Pinterest and you try it… but somehow it looks like it was done on a 3 year old? That is me. I have thin, fine, short(ish) hair and all the amazing hairstyles are always done on girls with gorgeous thick, long locks. But don’t worry- I am here to show you how much fun you can have with fine, thin, or short hair. You just have to know the right methods or the right styles to try. Today I am going to show you a fail-safe method for a Full Top Knot Hairstyle for Short Thin Hair.
For the record, my hair is just above shoulder length and very fine. If I can create this look on me, you can too!!
Here is the pictured tutorial:
What you have to remember with short hair or slippery fine hair, is that you probably will have pieces escaping and it might create a more messy look. That’s ok! We love messy hair over here in “fine, short hair land!”
Just work with what you’ve got and have fun with it! If getting a sleek ballerina bun isn’t possible, then don’t do a sleek ballerina bun! 🙂 I like this messy look and it can still be dressed up with a dressy headband or worn casual with a turban scarf and shorts.

That’s really amazing 🙂 I too have thin hair and I have always wished for thick hair as I just love braids. You made everything very easy, many thanks. Looking forward for more tutorials, great work!

Thank you for your video and for sharing with us this information!!! You are doing everything so easy and freely! It looks like everybody can make the same things by themself so easy!!! It is so helpfully, that you showed how to make this look step by step! That’s amazing! thank you for your blog!
I tried this today and it totally didn’t work! My hair never seems to want to cooperate :/
This is great! I am trying it tomorrow. I never thought about constructing it like you have! My hair is thin and doesn’t hold shape well so this should do the trick! Makes SO much sense. Thankyou!
Great tutorial really explained a few things to people. Once thing I really struggled with after relaxing and plating my hair, is breakage and split ends. So I used a very specific hair regimen with black castor oil. I created a video tutorial which might help many of you.
All the best
Nice!
I tried this today and it looks so cute! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE the tutorial, I am going to try it out when I get home. I am growing out my hair and feel like I cant do anything with it, it is just above shoulder length too. THANKS!!
Growing out my hair is one of the hardest things I’ve done… Why is it so hard!???? Lol good luck:) 🙂 🙂
Whoa! I wish I would have seen this when it originally posted – this would have been PERFECT for our super hot and incredibly humid 4th of July weekend! I have long hair to my mid back, but it is really “fine” and even I have trouble with those pretty pinterest hairdos. My hair is very long – it *should* be thick, but it’s just not, and that makes me sad. I usually just clip my hair up with one of those ugly claw things because my little munchkins leave no bathroom time for Mom. This seems quick and simple and once it’s up, it’s done and I won’t have to cringe every time I walk past a reflective surface!! Thanks!!
I’m a mommy of 3 and I completely understand the lack of bathroom time 🙂 hope this works for you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Christie! Great tutorial and hairspiration, Hunny! We encourage you to check out our SMALL Hunny Bunâ„¢ to assist you in rocking a top knot, ballerina and/or messy bun for your thin, fine, short(ish) hair! It makes us sad when women feel defeated by their hair and our hope is we help in stopping that madness in its tracks! 😉 Keep spreadin’ the good word, Hunny! xo
Thanks I will check it out! Thanks for the encouragement!
I love this tutorial. I am in the “all i can do with my hair is a ponytail” phase because it’s not short enough to be funky anymore, but not long enough to do all the beachy waves that are popular on pinterest. So thank you! I’m going to try it out soon! You make it look so easy, so I hope it is just as easy as it seems!
Yay! I think you will find it easy 🙂 Good Luck!
Great tutorial! I would love for you to link up at my Work it Wednesday linky party!!
