If you're not watching Love Island for the drama, the bombshells or those fire pit moments, then you must be watching for the beauty lessons.

We are nine seasons in and the Love Islanders never let us down in this department. They are the beauty gift, that keeps on giving.

While in-villa fashion trends come and go, and the wealth of products stocked in the dressing room get refreshed each season, there's one Love Island beauty trend that returns time and time again - the topknot.

The first islander to put the Love Island topknot on the map was none other than Molly-Mae. Her platinum blonde bun went viral during her stint in the villa. It was so popular that producers brought her into the beach hut to film a hair tutorial, which went down a storm on YouTube.

And the topknots kept coming after Molly-Mae made it a 'thing'. Indiyah was not only Love Island's winner, but the star of topknots last season, and Zara is making a real case for them in 2023.

Signature Molly-Mae Bun

It wouldn't be right if we didn't mention the topknot legend that is Molly-Mae. Her famous bun had everyone awe she even had to create a tutorial for it in the beach hut.

The Winning Bun

Indiyah's bun is definitely bombshell worthy! Beautiful, high and statement, it was one of her signature looks on the show last year.

Double Trouble

Double Trouble! Gabby from season 3 always came with the fun hairstyles. Exhibit A, the picture above proves our point exactly. The twisted detail at the front is everything.

The Spiky Look

Mary from season 7's up-do turned heads in the villa - literally. From her gorgeous wavy hair to her glossy middle part moments, she was another islander that producers asked to make a step by step video in the beach hut.

Next we have the lovely Liberty from season 7. Her topknot was arguably Molly-Mae-inspired.

The Loyal Knot

If there was one thing Georgia was loyal to, it was this bun. And this relaxed up-do never failed her. No pun intended!

The Effortless Up-do

Now Joanna's bun is our type on paper. It looks effortless and the two pieces at the front tie in the whole look together.
