Half Top Knot by Swell Beauty featuring Blogger Hanger Shortage

One hot hair trend we’re loving at Swell Beauty is the half top knot. From the runways to the street we’ve been seeing this new twist on one of our favorite go to up-dos. We had the perfect hair model for our step by step tutorial, our friend Renee Rogers, blogger (Hanger Shortage) and fashion designer (16th Colony).

Here is a step by step how-to for a bohemian glam version of this hot trend by the owner of Swell Beauty. Remember, you can always modify anything to make it your own. For more hair tips and tutorials follow Swell Beauty on Instagram at @swellbeauty.
