How to Do Unusual Hair Knots

Hair must be smoothed out before it can be styled into knots.

Hair knots are easy to create and can give hair a fun, unusual style. Although this style does not actually tie hair into knots, it gives that impression. Hair knots can be created to cover the whole head or just a small section of hair. The knots can be worn plain or can be dressed up with fun hair accessories. The look works best on hair that is smooth and untangled.
