Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Before you begin creating the bow hairstyle, it’s important to prepare your hair. Start by brushing out any tangles and knots, ensuring that your hair is smooth and easy to work with. If you have fine or slippery hair, you may want to add some texture by using a volumizing product or dry shampoo. This will help the bow hairstyle hold its shape better.
Step 2: Create a High Ponytail
Once your hair is prepped, gather all of your hair into a high ponytail. Secure it with a hair elastic, making sure it is tight and secure. If you want to add more volume to your ponytail, you can use a hair donut. Simply place the donut around your ponytail and wrap your hair around it, creating a fuller look.
Step 3: Divide the Ponytail
Now it’s time to start creating the bow shape. Divide your ponytail into two equal sections, with one section on top and one section on the bottom. Take the top section and split it in half horizontally, creating two smaller sections.
Step 4: Form the Bow
Take one of the smaller sections and fold it over to create a loop. Use bobby pins to secure the loop in place, making sure it is centered and even. Repeat this step with the other smaller section, creating a second loop. You should now have two loops that resemble the shape of a bow.
Step 5: Secure the Bow
Once you have formed the bow shape, use bobby pins to secure the loops in place. Make sure the bobby pins are hidden and blend in with your hair color. This will give your bow hairstyle a polished and finished look.
Step 6: Finish with Hairspray
To ensure that your bow hairstyle stays in place all day or night, finish it off with a generous spritz of hairspray. This will help to lock in the shape and prevent any flyaways or frizz from ruining your look. Use a strong-hold hairspray for best results.
And there you have it – a cute and stylish bow hairstyle that is sure to make a statement! Whether you’re attending a wedding, going to a party, or simply want to switch up your everyday look, this hairstyle is versatile and fun. Give it a try and see how many compliments you receive!
