By Annie Heil PC: Anne PaolettiThe first time I came across a hair bow I was immediately intrigued. When I say hair bow though I’m not talking about the stereotypical huge hair bows cheerleaders wear or the tiny colorful ones moms will put in their daughters hair. Rather, I’m talking about an updated, sleek and sophisticated type of hair bow that will turn heads wherever you go. That’s right, I’m talking about a hair bow made out of hair. I mean, come on, you really can’t look at this hairstyle without immediately wanting to attempt it. Using only and elastic and bobby pins to hold down each of the two sections of the bow, this hairstyle looks a lot more difficult to recreate than it actually is. To find out just how easy it is, keep reading! Step 1: Begin by grabbing two even sections of hair just above your ears and pull them to the back of your head. Secure with a hair band elastic and create a small half-bun in the center of your head by not pulling the hair entirely through on the last twist of the elastic. Step 2: Next, evenly divide the small half bun down the middle into two separate sections. These will turn into the shape of the bow. Fluff out one of the sections from the half bun and twist it down and to the right to separate and add volume. Secure the hair down to your head using a bobby pin. Step 3: Repeat this with the second section of the hair bun to create the other side of the bow. Again, use a bobby pin to secure the hair down and make sure you are camouflaging the bobby pin by putting it on the hair inside each side of the “bow”. Step 4: Lastly, use some of the remaining hair underneath your bow to mask the hair elastic in the middle. Pull a small piece through a hole in your crown and tuck it in using a bobby pin. If your hair is long enough, go ahead and flip out the remaining ends from the piece of hair hiding the elastic to really add some detail into your bow. And there you have it ladies! In just four short steps your innovative and (literally) priceless hair bow is officially complete. Now go out and rock a hairstyle even Sir Mix A Lot “can’t stop staring” at. :) Xo, Annie
