Today I will show you how to create a cute hairstyle which looks like a mini bow.

Instructions

  1. Small 104895 2f2014 10 15 004655 how to do mini bow hairstyle14

    Start with brushed hair.

  2. Small 104895 2f2014 10 15 004707 how to do mini bow hairstyle18

    Grab a small section at the top of your head and brush it up and to one side.

  3. Small 104895 2f2014 10 15 004721 how to do mini bow hairstyle20

    Using a hair tie, make a ponytail but leave quite a bit of extra hair tie on your hand.

    Pull the hair through the band again but only pull it a little way so it make a little loop like this:

    Twist the hair band so it traps the loop in place:

    Hold the loop in the palm of your hand and pull the loose hair through the hair tie again to form a second loop.

    You should have something like this:

    You can see the direction the hair comes through the band in this photo an the way the band wraps around.

    Now to make it look more like a bow, push it forward and pin in place.

    You can use the tail of hair to make the middle of the bow and cover the hair band. To do this just pull it backwards and pin there.

    I prefer to cover the band with a little flower.

    This style looks extra cute if you curl the ends so it looks like a ribbon!

    It’s worth giving it a blast of hairspray to keep in place. If you don’t want to use hairspray or you have thinner hair you can tease the ponytail so it has a better chance of staying in place.
