The Bow Bun


Hey everyone! I came across this adorable hairstyle today while looking at some hair ideas. The picture is the basic instructions, but I will give you a more detailed set of instructions. By the way, that's not me. I got it off the internet :)

What you will need~
Bobby pins, hair clips, hair tie, hairspray

Step 1~
The first step is to put your hair in  a ponytail. The placement of your ponytail will decide where your bow will be. A classic top of head look is cute, while a side bow is more playful. On your third loop (or your last loop, depending on your hair thickness), pull it halfway through (like the picture), and then stop. You can make it smaller than hers, but I would NOT suggest making it bigger, because that could end up messy. Also, you want to do it backwards, where the excess is in the front. You could do it in the back though.

Step 2~
Now, you want to split the hair. If you have layered hair or shorter hair, then you want to pin it down, because it doesn't lay that way naturally. 

Step 3~
Now, take the excess hair and pull it across the middle and pin it. Spray it with some hairspray if you feel it might not be to stable.

If you have shorter hair, then you could do this look also by just doing the hair from above your temple and up.

Well, I hope you like your new do!

Until next time,

  2. No problem! :) By the way, you can spray down and clip in the bow if your hair has layers :)
