Hair bows for long and short hair

It is quite fair to believe that hair bows are not for everyone, and they simply cannot be built on short haircuts. In what cases can you experiment and not look ridiculous at the same time?

It is most convenient to make a bow hairstyle for long hair – even a child can handle this task.

An equally good solution would be to choose this hairstyle for medium length hair. A bow hairstyle for short hair like a square also has the right to exist, but it will be performed a little differently – from single strands.

Bows are perfect for young fashionistas, but ladies aged 40+ can try on such styling.

True, it is better not to build a voluminous composition at the crown – lower a kind of bundle closer to the back of the head or make a miniature bow of thin strands.

If you have a costume party or a themed photo shoot where you will appear in a babydoll style outfit, a hair bow hairstyle will be the best choice – the video shows very harmonious looks without additional accessories:

If you’re used to pulling your hair up into a bun or wearing a simple ponytail to keep your curls away from your face, a bow will be a modern and stylish solution to your usual styling:

Also choose a bow if you want to demonstrate self-confidence and surprise others with bold ideas, because such styling always looks spectacular.

Step by step instructions for doing hairstyles

The simplest bow can be built in a minute, for this you will need invisible, a narrow elastic band and a massage brush.

If you have unruly hair, you can pre-apply a styling product on them, foam or gel in spray format is best.

If the curls are fluffy, apply a special serum that removes static electricity and makes the strands smooth:

1. Gather your hair into a ponytail at the crown, combing all the strands smoothly with a brush
2. Make another turn of the elastic, but do not stretch the entire length of the tail – you will get a loop
3. Try to make a loop so that the ends of the hair are in front of the crown
4. Divide the loop in two and spread the petals of the future bow on the sides
5. Throw the ends of the hair between the petals of the bow, thereby fixing them on the sides
6. Pin the ends of the tail with invisibility under the elastic

If the ends are too long, you can wrap them around the base of the bow or fold them in half, securing them under the bow with clips.

Dior-style earrings, as well as earrings with large pendants, go well with this styling.

Tail and bun with hair bow

There are several ways to combine a bow with a ponytail, including both modest solutions for respectable fashionistas and sophisticated compositions for young ladies.

• The easiest way is to tie the ponytail at the crown or a little lower, separate a strand of hair directly from the ponytail and stretch it through the elastic not completely, making a small loop.
• Then we make a bow according to the instructions, and the tail itself can be left in a natural position or curled with a curling iron.
• You can take a strand for a bow on top of the tail or on the side.
• Do not forget to separate another strand and wrap it around the elastic that holds the tail.

The second option is suitable for long hair. Make a bow from the entire volume of hair according to the instructions, but do not hide the ends, but curl them into lush spirals:

• The hair is collected in a ponytail at the crown, but one temporal strand is left outside the tail.
• The tail is shaped into a bun – for performances, use a foam "donut" or a twister, for a boho look – a curling iron and hairpins.
• Then pin the temporal strand with an invisible one so that it seems to fall from under the beam.
• Form a bow out of this strand using a thin elastic band from a children’s braiding kit.

A small bun hairstyle with a bow is suitable for dance performances or for boho style looks.

Watch the video on how to make a hair bow out of hair, leaving the curls loose, this option is suitable for ladies of any age:

• Make a tail not from the entire hair, but only from the parietal strands, as for a malvina, or only from the temporal strands, combing the parietal back first.
• Form a bow from the resulting tail, and you don’t even have to hide its ends – they will merge with the total mass of loose curls.
• If you have perfectly straight hair, the ends of the bow can be curled into two clear spirals, then the composition will be even more realistic, resembling a ribbon.

Two hair bows for girls

For young fashionistas, variations with two bows made from two high tails are suitable, but you can make the hairstyle even more unusual:

1. Divide the entire hair in two with a straight parting
2. From the back of the head to the crown, braid two spikelets, gradually picking up the free strands
3. Tie two tails at the crown level
4. Make bows out of tails
5. Be sure to hide the tips so that they do not cover the weave

Hair bows, of course, are undesirable under the condition of a strict dress code at work, but in other cases, you are free to experiment.

Romantic dates, everyday walks, solemn exits – there is always a place for such styling within the framework of spectacular bold images.
