Hair Bow Hairstyle Tutorial

Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you one of my favorite "bun" options, a hair bow.

I first saw this style on Lady Gaga and thought that it was a hair piece. Later I realized how easy it can be done and how cute it is. The tutorial I made is for short and long hair and has cute "hair ribbons" on the back. 

I've seen this hair style used by children, teenagers and even adults. I love to try new things and having fun with my hair so go ahead and try it. It will make you feel girly:)  (note: I have curly hair and had to straighten it for this hairstyle. I tried doing it with my natural hair but the bow wasn't defined and I didn't like how it looked. Your hair doesn't have to be completely straight, just enough that the bow part is well defined.)   OK so lets get started.   Items you will need: Curling iron/Wand Hair tie (small one if doing it for short hair) Bobby pins (about 5) Hair spray Brush/Comb

Short Hair Tutorial Breakdown

• First part you hair in a half pony tail
  
• Next wrap your hair once with small hair tie
• Then one more time leaving a small loop and keeping the hair tie in your fingers
• 
• Now bring around the rest of your hair and twist your hair tie
  
• Next make another loop and let go of the hair tie (you should now see two loops) 
  
• The rest of your hair should be facing forward
  
• 
• Now grab the the remanding hair and pick it straight up and then back in between the two loops of your bow and pin down with one bobby pin
  
• 
• Next spread one loop up to expand the piece and place a bobby pin on the back part of the bow
  
• 
• Repeat with the other loop
  
• If your loops aren't staying up spread them out and apply hair spray
  

          

Long Hair Tutorial Breakdown

• First tie hair on a high pony tail leaving one last wrap of your hair tie
  
• Next thread hair through the rest of your hair tie forming a bun and have the rest of your hair facing forward
  
  
  
  
• Now split bun in half creating two hair loops ( This will be the size of you bow)
  
• Next split the remaining hair in half and curl each piece 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Once hair is curled, bring both ends back together and gently pull up and straight back between hair loops and bobby pin down
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Next spread one loop up to expand the piece and place a bobby pin on the back part of the bow
  
  
  
  
• Repeat with other loop
  
• Next pin down the bottom parts of the bow
