HOW TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL HAIR BOW

In my quest to find more interesting ways of styling my hair (weaves ofcourse) especially my braids, I stumbled upon this wonderful step-by-step guide to making a beautiful hair bow. I know you'll say 'this na oyinbo hair now', but you can easily apply it to your braids, your weaves or your natural hair, if you've got long hair. Note however that the bow can sit anywhere on your head; front, back, up, side, anywhere you want it. The credit for this post goes to hairandmakeupbysteph.com.

See the steps below...

1. Begin by taking one small section of hair from each side of your head.  The bigger the sections, the bigger the bow.

2. Tie the two sections together with an elastic to create a half ponytail.  Don't pull the ends through the elastic the last time you wrap it to create a loop like the picture on the right.

3.  Split the loop in half to create two smaller loops and clip one loop aside for later.

4.  Use your fingers to spread out the loop and push it flat against your head into a bow shape.  Insert one bobby pin going from top to bottom and one going from bottom to top.

   5.  Repeat on the opposite side to finish the bow shape.

 6.  Pick up the remaining ends of the ponytail and wrap them up and around the elastic to hide it.  Secure it with bobby pins underneath.

There you have it! Very cute, right?
