Half Up Bow Hairstyle

Today, I am going to show you how to do a really cute hairstyle, making the hair in the shape of a bow. You will need one elastic, bobby pins, and a TopsyTail. If you don't have a TopsyTail, you'll need an additional elastic. It is an easy hairstyle for someone else, and an average braiding skill level to do on yourself. Also, I'm having some technical difficulties right now, so to see the photos, just go to my Facebook page. The link is in the contact part of my blog. I'll try to upload them later. Thanks for making due ;)

To start, divide the top section of the hair up, starting between the eyebrows and ears back near the crown of the head. If your hair is curly, it will be easiest to work with if it is straightened and/or wet. Pull the top section of hair into a ponytail (not looping the elastic at all), then twist it and pull the hair somewhat through (the size of the bow thing) and pull it out to the side. Then, twist the elastic once, and pull the hair partially through (the same amount as the other) but pull it out to the other side. Now, bobbypin the loops down to the head to keep them in place, by starting below the loop and pinning upward, just the back part of the loop, so nothing covers the front. It should look like this.

Lastly, take the tail of the hair and wrap it up the center to cover the elastic and bobbypin it to the top of the elastic/the hair behind the elastic. Now you need the TopsyTail. If you don't have one, grab your additional elastic. Pull the elastic up the middle of one of the loops (while still keeping a hold of it on both sides) and slip the tail through the elastic. Then pull the elastic down through the loop, bringing the hair down too, then bobbypin the tail down right where the bottom of the loop is, so it remains hidden. 

There you go! If you have any other spots not looking right, just bobbypin! AdiĆ³s!
