It is not without reason that modern beauties fell in love with an attractive bow hairstyle for long hair, the instructions for creating it are not very complex. It looks stylish and not as pretentious as a ribbon bow. Easily replaces expensive accessories, making your look complete and individual.
Suitable for versatile outfits, looks appropriate with jeans and an expensive evening dress. The main advantage is the simplicity of execution, even if there is very little time left before the event, the fashionista will be able to independently and very quickly cope with the task.
The shocking Lady Gaga played a role in the popularity and demand for the miracle bow. The star has repeatedly surprised the public with bright solutions, but after she performed in an unusual way at one of the concerts, women of fashion began to massively use interesting styling in their bows.
This season, the classic performance is relevant, which implies a smoothly gathered head of hair and an accent in the form of a bow of strands. However, some nuances will help transform the look from the restrained business to the playful festive. It's all about the details:
- by placing the key link directly on the crown and smoothly combing the hair, you can safely go to work or even to the gym. Such a creation will not disintegrate during an active working day;
- the bow above the ear adds dynamics to the image, in addition, it distracts attention from the large nose. You should not carefully collect the strands in a tight tail, a slight disheveledness will not hurt;
- with the help of oblique bangs, it will be possible to hide a wide forehead and massive cheekbones;
- for a social event, the combination of a side parting and a bow above the neck would be an ideal solution;
- you can beat the hairstyle with a pair of locks released from the middle of the bow, they will resemble the free ends of the ribbon.
A versatile hairstyle can be created from both smooth and curly curls, positioned from any part of the head.
However, the owners of a round face and chubby cheeks are better off abandoning this option. Do the same if you have dull and brittle hair.
Step by step instructions: romantic, unusual, stylish
Well-groomed and healthy long strands can be styled in different ways, according to the upcoming event. A bow is appropriate in many cases: a laconic classic looks presentable and unusual, and if you let out a few curls from the base, you can go to a party or to the theater.
Before starting work, you need to decide on the location of the main element. It can be located on the top of the head, on the back of the head, closer to one or the other ear.
Also pick up rubber bands that will match the color of your native pasm as much as possible.
Classics of the genre
Once you understand this method, you can easily create more complex examples.
- First of all, collect the skeins in a tight ponytail. Tie it tightly with an elastic band.
- With the second rubber band, fasten it so that it folds in half, forming a loop. Leave the tip of the tail free.
- Divide the loop in half, lay the free end in the center and fix it with an invisible one in an inconspicuous place.
Remember that the bow hairstyle opens up the neck and attracts increased attention.
If a fashionista has rough features or weight problems, it is better to choose a different style of styling.
We increase reliability
This technique is somewhat different from the previous one. After the tail is formed, separate a thin strand of 1.5-2 cm wide from it, put it in the direction of the forehead and fix it with a hair clip.
Tie another elastic band in the middle of the tail. Now we form the "ears". Divide the hair between the elastic bands into two parts and fasten it on the head. Divide the ends remaining under the second elastic band in two, twist slightly into a tourniquet and hide under the formed "ears".
Form the middle from the previously separated thin strand, carefully placing it between the "ears". Now it remains only to fix the creation with varnish.
For daring fashionistas
In all the proposed methods, the first step remains unchanged - you need to make a ponytail. Further, at equal distances from the base, you need to tie two more elastic bands. Wrap each of them with a thin strand, hide the end inside.
Now place the bow so that it is in front of the ponytail. With the free end, wrap the middle of the creation and do not forget about fixing with varnish.
Before you start creating beauty, put your head in order. Washed and dried skeins lay down more obediently, especially if treated with mousse for fixation. You can add shine with a special wax.
And from a few more unusual options:
Variations for the New Year or other important celebration
Such a beautiful element does not have to be created on the basis of tightly assembled cosmes. At a festive party, you want to be in the spotlight. Dress alone will not be enough, you need to think over the image inside and out.
Owners of luxurious curls do not need to hide them in the main structure, it will be more beautiful if left loose. Here the well-known Malvinka will come to the rescue, she will help diversify the classic solution, make the girlish image exciting and romantic.
The essence of the solution is to lay the side strands slightly twisted into flagella in the form of a rim and fasten them with invisible ones or beautiful hairpins. The rest of the hair remains intact. To create an evening bow, you can wind curls or vice versa, carefully align.
You can add originality to a simple solution by using jewelry from your own hair. In this way, you will be able to save on hairpins and amaze others with an unusual approach.
In this method, only the initial actions differ from the classics:
- break the hair in half with a horizontal parting;
- build a tail from the top. It will not come out very thick, but the result will be delicious;
- form a bow according to the already familiar pattern.
Multi-color dyeing adds even more creativity to the playful styling.
Modification with braids with your own hands
Various kinds of weaving are a favorite "highlight" of long-haired women of fashion. Consider a few examples of styling that will attract the attention of others.
If the strand from which the core is formed is first braided into a braid, you will get an interesting creation, with which you can safely go to a restaurant or theater.
Spikelet-based creative
It will take a lot of skill and patience to form such beauty, but the result is worth it:
- braid a spikelet that will start near your neck and end around the middle of your head. For more convenience, tilt your head forward or ask a friend for help;
- pull the loose skeins into a tight tail, fasten with an elastic band;
- further actions are no different from those described above: form a roller, divide it in two, arrange a beautiful middle.
It will turn out more elegant if you braid not an ordinary spikelet from the neck to the back of the head, but a French braid.
Straight weave
The bow hairstyle is not suitable for every woman. With it, a large nose, a massive neck and a heavy chin will become more noticeable. Therefore, it is better to choose it for girls with a doll-like appearance. This option is also formed on the basis of spikelet braids, only they are woven traditionally. Divide the braids into three equal areas with vertical parting, braid the braids approximately to the middle of the head.
Then proceed in the usual way: fix the tail, form the key styling element.
Who said that such a wonderful "highlight" should be in a single copy?
Braid two traditional French braids at once, complete the weaving with wonderful bows. It will turn out very original.
Pulling the strands
If you braid a not very tight braid, and then stretch the side strands one by one, the resulting loops will resemble a traditional bow hairstyle. Decorate the center of each pseudo-bow with a decorative hairpin, and fix the "ears" with varnish.

Stylists' recommendations
It is not enough to know the styling technique, and this is far from a secret. The following hairdressing tips will help you create true beauty:
- wash your hair thoroughly. If you wash off the shampoo poorly, the hairs will not shine and lie flat, which will spoil the overall appearance;
- do not forget about the nourishing balm, it will facilitate combing and make the curls more manageable when styling;
- dry the skeins thoroughly. Any hint of moisture will lead to loss of shape and dull sagging of the miracle bow;
- not every fashionista can boast of a thick head of hair.To make it more elastic, lush and resistant to high humidity, first wind the hair on large curlers. When they are cool, brush lightly with a large-toothed comb;
- do not forget to apply varnish at the end of the work, otherwise, after a couple of hours, individual hairs will be knocked out of the total mass, and the result itself will look careless.
The overall look also depends on the accessories. It is not necessary to use traditional invisible hairpins, hairpins with decorative pearls will favorably emphasize female beauty. And the hairpins decorated with flowers will make the look even more romantic.
