The Hair Bow tutorial in 5 easy steps!

This is the look we are trying to recreate! I found this on pinterest which lead me to an awesome hair and make up blog!

Step 1: Grab a section of hair from each side of your head. Depending on how much hair you grab will depend on how big the bow is. Kelsee (the hair model :) ) didn't want a huge bow so we grabbed enough hair for a medium bow.

                               

Step 2: Get a little elastic rubber band pony tail and tie it around the 2 sections but don't pull the ends all the way through, just make a half pony tail like in the pictures.

Step 3: Next, you want to split your half pony tail into 2 sections and clip down one loop while you pin down the other loop.

                         

Step 4: Flatten the loops against your head and pin it with a bobby pin going from bottom to top as seen in the picture on the left. Then do the same thing with the other side as seen in the picture on the right. Don't worry about the bobby pins showing, those can be hidden, or you can get bobby pins that match your hair color.

Step 5: Take the tail of your half pony tail and loop it around the elastic rubber band and pull it through to the other side. You can leave it like that and bobby pin it so it will stay, or you can keep looping it around the elastic until the tail is gone. We kept it like this since it blended in with her hair anyway.

And this is the final product! This is a cute and easy hairstyle for days when you want to give your hair a break from the heat (curling iron, straightener, blow dryer, etc). Hope this was helpful!

And since we are talking about hair bows, if you don't want to use your own hair for a bow, you can always buy a cute bow to pin in your hair. I recently bought this bow at Awaken in Campbellsville!
