Alison Dace, from the Saks Art Team says:1] Loosely place a ponytail at the crown area. Use Loreal Professional Air Fix Hair Spray 7.60 to slightly wet and slick.
2] The hair in the ponytail is then back brushed from the underneath, and lightly smoothed by running a soft bristle brush over both surfaces.
3] Place an elastic band at the bottom of the now back brushed ponytail to secure the ends.
4] Wrap the ponytail around the base of the ponytail to create the bun like flat round shape, when the shape is correct clip in using Kirby grips.
5] Remember when clipping try to make them invisible by placing them towards the centre and underneath the bun.

Toni & Guy stylist to the stars Cos Sakkas gives his Turbo Top Knot tips
Cos Sakkas at Toni & Guy has these top tips:
Apply Toni & Guys Casual Sculpting Powder before putting your hair up to give excellent grip at the roots as well as giving hair a feeling of thickness and texture, to make it totally workable so your bun stays strong."
Next comb the hair back into a ponytail. Backcomb the ponytail to achieve a volumous bun, follow by twisting the hair around on top of the head and pin into place."
Sienna Miller opted for a glossy Turbo Top Knot - proving the style is red carpet worthy too
*TIP* The secret weapon in creating Siennas and Gwens perfect buns, is Toni & Guys extreme hold hairspray from the creative collection. To keep the bun in place I use the hairspray liberally throughout the steps to ensure nothing moves.
