Like the topsy tail hairstyle of years gone by, the double hair knot sits roughly at the nape of the neck or a little higher. The style also works as a single knot - but by knotting the hair twice the effect is more interesting, and easier to secure.

How to style it
Though a hairstyle suited to the entire year, the style of double hair knot you're seeing in the pictures are best suited to spring / summer 2011. Styled by Orlando Pita for the Michael Kors catwalk, the summer influence comes courtesy of a desire to have fuse urban hairstyle with the feel that its wearer has "been out at the beach all day."To capture the summer interpretation of the double hair knot:
- First, spritz the hair all over with a sea-salt spray (Orlando Pita used Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray)
- Next, scrunch the hair into bunches while drying to add waves and texture
- Pull a thick section of hair out at the front, sweeping it into a deep side part
- Finally, take back two sections of hair and tie into a knot - then again into a double knot
