Bows are back in a big way for grown-up babes. For a fun holiday ‘do, a romantic wedding style, or to amp up a laid-back everyday look, a bow brings that extra oomph you’re after. It’s the ultimate flirty hair accessory! So how do you wear one without looking like the first-grade version of yourself? Easy. Ahead, check out three stylish, sophisticated hairstyles with bows–and how to recreate them in no time at all.
Half-Up Topsy Tail
Instructions:
- Pull a section from the front of the hair from each side.
- Secure the two sections together in the back with an elastic.
- Flip the ends up and through in “topsy tail” fashion.
- Clip the bow just above the elastic.
Braided Ponytail
Instructions:
- Create a French braid to the nape of the neck.
- Gather hair into a ponytail, secure with an elastic.
- Clip the bow just above the elastic.
Modern Messy Bun
Instructions:
- Pull hair into a high, sleek ponytail and secure with a thick hair tie.
- Twist the hair into a high bun, leaving the ends out.
- Secure with a clear elastic.
- Clip the bow just under the bun.
