Tutorial: Knot your average pony

As I was browsing through pins I came across a photo of an updo with a hair bow and I loved it!! I thought I would do a tutorial on the actual bow, and then include some photos of hair styles including a bow just give an idea of how the bow can be worn :)

1. Take a small section of hair from the crown of your head.  The bigger the section, the bigger the bow.
2. Tie the section with an elastic to create a half ponytail, and avoid pulling the ends through the elastic band the last time you wrap it.
3. Split the loop in half to create two smaller loops.
4. Insert bobby pins on both the bottom and top of each of the loops.
5. Pick up the remaining ends of the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to hide it.  Secure it with bobby pins underneath.

I think a bow makes a fun twist to hair styles of both loose and tied up styles, and gathered some inspiration to how a bow can be worn :)

I LOVE the bow as part of an up-do as in the upper right photo, what a great hair style for New Years Eve!! What do you think? :)
