So I'm going to show you how to do a hair bow in your hair. The hair bow is such a cute
little trick. It kind of ebbs and flows. It always seems to come back. I'm going to show
you how to do a hair bow that is high and kind of glamorous. Keep in mind too that you
can do smaller versions of this anywhere on your head. You could do a low hair bow. You
could do a hair bow on top of a ponytail. There are many variations of this. I'm just
going to show you the most simple and the most classic.
I'm going to start by hair spraying her hair away from her face. And then I'm just going
to do a classic ponytail. And then a great trick at home if you're trying to get, if
whenever you do a ponytail you always have a little of bagginess here in the nape of
your neck, would be to tilt your head backwards and do that finishing step. It keeps it really
nice and tight. So you're going to wrap the ponytail around. And on whatever is going
to be your last rotation, so this is the third round I'm making with the ponytail, I am going
to make a loop with my hair. So I'm just not going to pull the hair all the way up. And
then I'm just going to place the rest of the hair in the front. So this is going to be
the start of our hair bow.
So I'm just going to loosen it up a little bit more. And I'm going to start to fan out
the hair. Then, in the center, I start to make a little part in the hair. You can see
we're already getting a little bit of a hair bow already. Then I'm going to take this center
hair here. Comb it a little bit. I'm going to gather the ends up into a little point.
And then I'm going to put it in between our two little puffs that we just made. And I'm
going to bobby pin it in the back. Turn her around so you can see that. So I'm just going
to bobby pin it. And don't worry about the bobby pins just yet because I'm going to cover
them. And I'm going to flip her around.
We're going to finesse our bow here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take and attach
the bow to the head first. I'm going to take little bobby pins and I'm just going to attach
the bottom of the hair to the head. And you can do this in a couple of places if you want.
Whatever makes it feel secure. And then from there I'm going to start to lift my bow up.
I'm going to hold it a little bit with my hand. Spray it with a heavier hold hairspray.
A little bit around the face with that. And then, like I promised, I'm going to hide those
bobby pins in the back.
So in this case now that it's all done, I really just have to tuck it up into one side
of the bow and it's completely concealed from the back. I'm going to add just one more bobby
pin. I'm just holding the back of my bow forward because I can see a little gap here in between
the center of the bow and the rest of it. And there you have your completed hair bow.
