Like the ponytail or a simple three-strand braid, the topknot is one of those fuss-free, toss-it-up-and-go hairstyles that we rely on. It's simple to DIY, easy to dress up or down, and — best of all — makes for a clutch second-day look when you don't feel like washing your hair. But the tricky element of the style is creating it in five minutes or less, while making it appear as though more effort was involved. The solution? This video.

Get the full scoop here as Laswell shows trend reporter and It Girl Louise Roe how to thicken up a classic topknot with a bit of mousse and a blowdryer.
