A stylish hairstyle is the finishing touch to any look. One of the most popular hairstyles among fashionistas is the bow. Girls are often interested in how to make it out of hair. The step-by-step instructions below will help you master this art quickly and easily.

What you need for a hair bow

The classic version of the hairstyle originates from the ballrooms of Western Europe at the beginning of the 19th century - this is how fashionistas in lush dresses adorned their hair. The tradition was renewed by the shocking stars of our time - Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, and after them stylists and designers at fashion shows.

Hair bow hairstyle is not suitable for everyone, it should not be done:

• girls with thin, naughty or, conversely, hard and not amenable to styling hair;
• owners of a plump figure - instead of a light figure, it will become heavy;
• older women - a playful bow will look frivolous.

Before you start doing your own hair, it is important to prepare the necessary accessories.

You will need:

• comb;
• styling products;
• 2 strong elastic bands for hair color;
• hairpin and at least 3 invisible ones;
• hairpins with ready-made bows;
• decorative elements - flowers, butterflies, pearls and rhinestones.

Hairstyle should be done on clean, straight hair.

A simple and quick way to create a bow from hair

If there is no time, and the bow needs to be made quickly, then a ready-made bow hair clip in the color of the hair will help out. Such bows are made from artificial and natural hair; with the correct selection of the shade of curls and hairpins, hardly anyone will notice the difference. In such a simple way, you can decorate a familiar bun and add elegance to a banal Malvinka.

Method 1. Almost "malvinka":

1. To do this, you need to divide the hair into two sections from ear to ear and connect the strands with an elastic band.
2. Attach a hairpin on top of the elastic.

Method 2. Bundle:

1. Gather your hair into a bun with a donut. This will keep your hairstyle neat and last longer.
2. Attach the barrette from the desired side - front or side. For a natural look, choose a design where the bow will not be higher than the bun.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a classic hair bow

The option that stylists first proposed is considered classic today.

It's pretty easy to make it:

1. With the help of two elastic bands, collect the hair in a ponytail - at the base and in the middle.
2. Before fixing in the middle, separate a thin strand to decorate the middle of the future hairstyle.
3. Using 1 invisible for each part, fix them in the form of "ears".
4. Move the strand laid in front to the middle of the bow, connect with the remaining ponytail and hide under the bow.
5. Fix the resulting hairstyle with varnish.

Hair bow for short hair

Girls with short hair can also, despite the length, afford a bow hairstyle. The shape and volume of the bow directly depend on the length of the hair.

If it is shoulder-length, then you can safely start:

1. First, you need to separate a strand of hair in the front - this is to decorate the middle of the bow.
2. Separate one thick strand on both sides from the temples and secure twice with one elastic band. On the second thread, form a loop.
3. Divide the resulting loop into two parts of the bow, decorate with a deferred strand and fix with foam or means.

But this is not the only way that owners of short hair can use it. Also, a hairstyle with small bows will suit them. How to do them will be discussed below.

Hair bow for medium hair

Here you can use both the classic method and another designed for this hair length. It is believed that for medium-length hair it is not at all difficult to create interesting variations of a hair bow.

Instructions:

1. From the side of the head, where the bow will be, you need to collect the tail.
2. Separate the core from the tail and fasten in front.
3. Secure the tip of the tail with another elastic band.
4. Form a bow from the resulting hairstyle and fasten it with an invisible one under the “ears”.
5. In the same place, fix the tail from the middle. To do this, transfer the strand that was put aside in advance strictly to the middle between the “ears” and fix the bottom. If you like the hairstyle, then fix everything with varnish.

Hair bow for long hair

The easiest way to make a bow is from long hair.

And how to create it, the step-by-step instructions will show:

1. Secure the ponytail at three equal distances with thin elastic bands.
2. Wrap each elastic band with a thin strand of hair after fixing.
3. Fix the second and third parts of the tail on the head with the help of invisible hair color. As a result, you should have a bow.
4. Fix the remaining tail behind the bow. To add charm to the hairstyle, you can divide the remaining ponytail, fix the sharp ends with gel or wax and pull them out behind the bow. You will get a naughty hairstyle with protruding ends in the middle.

Hair bow for girls

Hair bow is the perfect hairstyle for a little girl.

How to make it quickly and easily, step-by-step instructions will help:

1. Hair needs to be collected in a ponytail using a large elastic band.
2. On the first roll, do not extend the hair completely. This will create the first "eyelet" of the bow. Make the second "ear" in the same way.
3. For the fourth time, roll the entire bow through the elastic.
4. Skip the remaining ponytail past the “ears” and either hide it behind them, or fix it below with invisible hair color.

This technique will help keep your hairstyle intact for a long time.

For mothers of little girls, this is important, since babies have an active life, and it is not recommended to apply varnish or other fixing agents to their hair.

Master class: bow of two elastic bands

Above, we discussed several ways to make a bow from hair. Step-by-step instructions and photos for each method show that it is necessary to separate a strand of hair for the middle of the bow. But there are 2 ways where you don't need to separate the strand.

In the first option, you need to collect your hair using two elastic bands:

1. In the place where the "bow" will be located, collect hair in a ponytail.
2. Using the second elastic, pull your hair into a ponytail, but do not pull it all the way through. As a result, you should get a bunch and a tail. The resulting tail should be in front, and not behind the future bow.
3. Divide the bundle into two equal parts, secure with invisible behind, in an inconspicuous place.
4. Twist the remaining ponytail into a neat, weak plait and transfer it to the middle of the "bow", and hide the tip under the hairdo.
5. The hairstyle must be fixed with varnish.

In the second step, you need to follow these steps:

1. Comb and divide the hair into 2 parts - back and front, which must again be divided into two parts and individually fastened twice with elastic bands - behind the ears and in the middle of the tail. The end result is two tails with two elastic bands on each.
2. The first tail should be bent so that the elastic bands at the base of the tail and in the middle touch.Take the resulting "ear" of the bow to the side in the direction of the ear and secure with elastic bands.
3. Repeat step 2 for the second tail.
4. Either straighten the remaining ends of the ponytails and the hair on the back, or wind it on a curling iron and spray the hair with varnish.

High bow

Some girls love the ponytail because of its simplicity and versatility.

If you spend a couple of minutes and put in a little effort, your favorite “ponytail” will turn into an equally versatile and beautiful bow:

1. Pull your hair into a ponytail above the back of the head, and on the last turn, do not thread the hair completely so that a small ponytail remains under the resulting bun.
2. Carefully divide the resulting bundle into two parts and fix each with an invisible part.
3. The remaining ponytail should be thrown forward, and the ends should be hidden at the base of the hairstyle.

You can also make a low bow. This hairstyle variation is suitable not only for young girls, but also for women who want to dilute the strict classic look.

In addition, if you decorate the low “bow” with rhinestones or a ribbon, it can become the basis for a stylish evening or wedding hairstyle.

Bow combined with a bundle

A casual or, conversely, a neat bun is another favorite hairstyle of modern girls. It is ideal for all occasions, be it school, university, work, outing with friends, dating. A cute hair bow will help change and improve your everyday hairstyle. Stylists point out that this hairstyle is perfect for owners of long hair.

How to do it in combination with a beam, will tell you step by step instructions:

1. With the help of a donut, you need to make a bunch and secure it with an invisible elastic band.
2. Wrap the hair around the donut and secure it again with an elastic band on the desired side and make two turns, forming a loop of hair. Thus, you will get 2 bow ears.
3. Attach the bow to the bun with the embellished hairpin.

Side bow

The ponytail from the side gives the girl a mischievous character.

If this is about you, then arm yourself with a comb and rubber bands for a new hairstyle - 2 bows on the side:

1. For hairstyle, you need to divide your hair into 2 equal parts.
2. With two identical rubber bands, you need to collect two ponytails.
3. With the help of the second elastic band, form a loop under which you need to hide the remaining tail.
4. Divide the loop into 2 parts, using invisibility to attach them so that you get a bow.

This hairstyle will look good on thick hair.

For girls with thin hair, you can make one bow on the side using this or any of the other techniques shown above.

Bow "malvinka"

Malvinka is one of the most famous hairstyles. In addition to the bow, it can easily turn from ordinary to evening.

Step-by-step instructions will show you how to make both a hair bow and a malvinka:

1. All hair, except for the bangs, must be combed back. If the bangs are long, then hers too.
2. It is necessary to separate the section of hair at the level of the ears and, connecting them at the crown, fasten with an elastic band.
3. On the second turn of the elastic, make a loop of hair.
4. Divide the loop into two parts, attach with invisible bow ears.
5. Pass the remaining tail through the middle of the bow and either leave it as it is, or hide the tip under the bow.

Straighten the remaining hair for walking and meeting with friends. For an evening version, you can wind and sprinkle with glitter varnish. Just do not apply too much varnish - the bow should attract attention to the hairstyle, and not the festive shine.

Bow on loose hair

If you have nothing at hand, except for a comb and two invisible ones, then using step-by-step instructions you can make a bow from loose hair. It's as easy as tying the laces on your sneakers.

Instructions:

1. First you need to comb your hair well and separate two thin strands from ear to ear.
2. Tie them in two knots, but at the second knot form two loops - the “gorges” of the bow.
3. Fix with invisibility, preferably with decoration.

Sophisticated braided hair bow

A bow can be not only an independent daily or festive hairstyle, but also complement others. For example, a beautiful cute bow can be woven into a spikelet. This hairstyle will look original because of the unusual braid and bow.

Instructions:

• To create a hairstyle, you need to tilt your head down and comb your hair well.
• Starting from the neck, braid a French braid.
• On the back of the head - the end of the braid. To keep it from falling apart, it is important to secure it with an invisible small elastic band.
• From the resulting tail, you need to separate a small strand for the future core, and fasten the rest of the hair with a second elastic band.
• When threading the tail again, form a loop and divide into 2 parts.
• Secure each “eyelet” with an invisible one.
• Form the middle of the bow from the deferred strand and hide the tip of the ponytail under the bow.

Braid with little hair bows

A braid can be not only with one bow, but also with many small bows following each other.

Instructions:

1. First you need to divide your hair into two unequal parts - the thin one will be for small bows, the other - for the French braid.
2. Braid a French braid.
3. Sprinkle a thin strand with varnish or water.
4. Using a hairpin, hook a thin strand and thread it through the first binding of the French braid and pull it out, but not completely. The result should be a bow. The remaining ponytail can be attached to the next strand of hair, which will form a bow for the next binding.
5. These actions must be repeated to the end.

At the beginning, the technique of braiding with bows seems complicated. But with periodic repetition of actions, you can quickly and easily make an attractive hairstyle.

Hair bow options for evening hairstyles

Hair bow can be easily turned into an evening hairstyle:

1. Make a bow using any of the above techniques. For publication, a bundle with a bow, a malvinka and just a bow on the top of the head will look perfect.
2. Glue rhinestones, ribbons or hairpins with stones to match the main color of the dress or jewelry.
3. To keep the hairstyle long, sprinkle it with strong hold varnish.

How to give curls volume to create a bow hairstyle

A beautiful bow looks great on thick hair.

But the owners of thin hair do not need to be upset, since they can achieve the desired effect if they follow these tips:

1. The main rule of turning thin hair into thick hair is to wash your hair with the right shampoo, that is, one that contains silicone, protein and keratins. The last two substances are included in the hair structure, and the silicone envelops the hair with a thin film that protects it from the harmful effects of the environment.
2. After washing, apply mousse or volumizing gel to the hair and dry with a hairdryer, ruffling with your fingers at the roots.
3. Before you do your hair, you can wind the strands that will be under the hair. Other options are to braid a few fine braids overnight, or to bouffant. The latter option, although fast, severely injures the hair. Therefore, you can use it as a last resort.

Learning to make a beautiful bow is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing here is not only the availability of step-by-step instructions, the necessary materials, but also time with patience. A little practice and you will be able to amaze others with beautiful and original hairstyles.
