How to make a bow out of hair using two ponytails?
If you have long and curly hair, you must first comb and straighten it. Further it is recommended to choose the place most suitable for the future bow. For example, it may be the back of the head. As you work, divide the hair into two equal parts. And move from the forehead to the crown. Do this with a convenient comb comb with a sharp and narrow end-handle. From each half hair obtained, braid two small ponytails. Please note: they must be at the same level with each other.
Next, tie both ponytails with an elastic band so that an equal distance between the layers is obtained. From the obtained tails, it remains only to form our ears of a bow for hair. With your own hands, bend each tail individually and connect the elastic bands using hairpins and invisible hair clips.
After that, it is necessary to collect the tips remaining from our tails and hide them under the ears of the bow. For greater reliability, first comb them, and then - pinch them with invisibility. And in the end, direct the remaining strand of loose hair to the bow and twist in the middle. Fix it with studs and varnish.
How to make a bow in the "Malvinka"?
Are you going to make bows for hair with your own hands? Start by creating a simple hairstyle, which is based on the classic "malvinka". So how is it done? First, you need to comb your hair and prepare gum, hairpins, varnish. Secondly, from the side and front strands, collect the tail. However, in this case, most of the curls should remain in a dissolved state. It is imperative not to overtighten the gum on the resulting tail. Leave a place and stick out a small tuft of hair.
Thirdly, divide this bundle into two equal parts. From each form the bow ears. Fix its corners with invisibility. Take the tips of the tails, pass them through the base of your styling and form a small knot for the middle of the bow. Pinch all the details of the hairstyle with invisibility and spray with varnish. The remaining hair can be gently curled onto a curling iron, “ironing” or curlers. As you can see, it turned out to be a rather simple and interesting master class. We made a bow out of hair out of a “malvinka” with the help of hairpins, hairpins and elastic bands.
Mixed weaving technique
If we took the tail as the basis for all the previous options, then in this variation of the bow we will use the mixed technique of weaving. The first thing to do is comb your hair and braid a French braid on it. We carry it to the back of the head, and collect the remaining strands into the tail we already know.
At the second stage, we leave part of the hair. We divide them into two parts and make a bow. As in all other cases, the ears of the resulting bow are fastened with invisibility. We twist the remaining free hair around the bow and make its center. For a more reliable fixation, spray with varnish.
How to make an original hairstyle with bows?
And this original hairstyle can not only be done every day, but also used during any important event: wedding, graduation. For her you will need to follow these steps:
- Comb your hair all the way.
- Separate a small strand (about 2 cm) from the left side, in the temple area.
- Separate exactly three strands from the same left side (this is necessary to create a braid).
- Throw one through two and make it the main or leading.
- Take the part of the hair on the right side and put it in the next strand from the weave. In this case, the leading strand will be in the middle.
- Tighten the braid and add side strands to it.
It is noteworthy that the side strands added to the weaving should not stand out. Let them be equal in thickness. After all the hair has been woven into a braid, perform a few more turns and fix the ends with an elastic band. But then you can create small and neat bows. Spread all loose hair in a weave. Form bows. Fix them with hairpins and hair spray. The hairstyle is ready.
