Hair Bow How-To...

Everyone loves the famous Lady Gaga hair bow. In fact, I've seen some made with synthetic hair that you can just clip in and go. Today I decided to try it out for myself and it was FANTASTIC. It was easy and I did it on the very first try. For some reason I thought it would be all too complicated. It's always perfect when your hair looks like it took hours of complications and frustrations but you know it took 5 mins and you still look fab! It went well with my Hello Kitty cardigan. If you want to learn how to do it quick and easy with your real hair...follow these instructions......

Step 1: Slick back your hair with your hands/brush into a high pony tail on the crown of your head (where you would tease). Make sure you get all bumps and lumps out and have your hair at least slightly straightened. Mostly straightened.

Step 2: Use a thick elastic (semi close to your hair color) to start looping in your hair as if you were just going to put it in a pony tail. When you're on the the last loop (usually 3rd time around for normal hair types) pull only half way through so that there is a small half bun half pony tail (rest of the hair not in the loop).

Step 3: Take the bun in the middle of it and split it apart. These are each sides of the bow

Step 4: Take the rest of your hair left out and bring it on top of the middle of the bun you split apart and wrap the rest around the base (where the elastic is)

Step 3: Bobby pin the shit out of the base! Secure your hair that you have just wrapped around by shoving in bobby pins around the base. Just shove them in and they will hide themselves. It also helps if you use ones that are close to your hair color. Make sure to use SECURE ones.

Step 4: Spread the two sides to the bow to get desired "bow look". You can make it sloppy or tidy.

Step 5: Spray with hair spray to secure

Step 6: Show off to all your friends and teach them the ways of the GAGA bow

Enjoy!!!

If these written instructions are too hard to follow, there are tutorial videos on youtube that you can check out! Maybe different methods posted as well but I found this way to be the easiest.
