top knot Archives

The friends that chignon together, stay best buds forever. Case in point this week at the 2015 American Music Awards Karreuche Tran and her gal pal Christina Milian hit the red carpet and it is clear that they both got the memo before show-time. Besides the pair both wearing sexy LBDs Karreuche and Christina hit the AMAs with matching top knots. Of course, each lady mixed hers up a tad bit in order to incorporate personal style.

Ninja Buns or top knots are a simple style that can be edgy and sophisticated at the same time. Christina opted to keep her hairstyle simple and sleek with a basic pull back, while Karreuche added a tad more drama with the aid of a fringed bang.
