Top 5

    Step 1: Firstly you will need to invest in a sponge hair doughnut ring. You can get these from lots of high street stores, from Boots, New Look to Claire’s. Try to get one that matches your hair colour as much as poss.

    Step 2: Tie your hair in a ponytail at the top of your head and secure with an elastic headband. Secure any strays or flyaways with Kirby grips to keep your do looking ultra sleek.

    Step 3: Put a bun ring over the ponytail, pulling the ponytail through the hole in the middle.
    Backcomb all the hair of the ponytail end so you can get a nice big bouffant bun. Wrap the backcombed hair as evenly as you can around the bun ring so you can’t see any of the mesh.

    Step 4: Take a hair elastic over the top of the bun ring to secure the hair in place and pin down the strands of hair to your head using Kirby grips that are also a close match to your hair colour.

    Step 5: Lastly spritz your bun with lashings of hair spray to keep it in place and hey presto – 5 steps to the ultimate Alesha Dixon Top Knot Bun!
