Hair-Bow for my classy bitches

   I've seen this on pinterest a lot lately, very cute spring/summer look.  I wanted to show you guys my step by step version of the bow.  I think this is perfect for when you have bed head and are trying to rush out of the door without looking a hot mess.  I'd say 3 min or less from start to finish.

What you will need:

Hair, a light hairspray, comb or bristle brush, 2 bobby pins, and a hair tie. 

Optional: smoothing serum, and a headband. 

 

1. This baby was just washed and air dried.  This look would be perfect for straightened hair on day 2 or 3.

2. If you have frizzy hair you can add a serum, or light hairspray to smooth all of your hair back into a high ponytail.  I'm also a fan of the messy look so just throwing it up will work too.

3.  This part is a throwback middle school technique with the half pony tail.  If you have thick hair you can leave about 2 inches of a tail.  If you have thinner hair like this doll, leave about a 3 or 4 inch tail.  

*BTW I made mine a little off center just to make it look more interesting*

4. Split the whatever you want to call it in half like so

5. You can give it a light spray as you make each bow ear wider to give a more full effect and not floppy ears.  Then take the tail (I recommend to spray it before) and wrap it around to the front and secure it with a bobby pin.  With the excess tail you can wrap it around the ponytail holder, and pin it or tuck it under your ponytail holder.

6.  Like so =)  #5 can be your last step or take it a little further.

You can add a headband (I had to make this out of lace I had in a junk drawer because obvi I can't use headbands anymore).  Without teasing the front I just pulled the hair out a little from the base to add volume. 

And for my classy gangstas holllllaaa; I didn't forget about you ;)

I hope everyone tries it!  It really is as simple as it looks.  If you have any questions feel free to ask.  Also if you have any hair-do's you can't seem to get right, throw them my way and I can break it down for you in a future tutorial. It would be cool to see the pretty bows you made or comments about how this tutorial worked for you =) I hope ya'll enjoyed this as much as I did doing it for you! 

Have a great day and love the ones you're with
