Last time we posted our Bow Braid post which was a hit, with now a lot of that post views!
In that post, we showed you how to create the basic bows in a French braid, and showed you various live examples on my other girls of hairstyles where you can incorporate the bow braid.
It appears that our viewers were having difficulty figuring out where to get the extra hair to incorporate into the bows. In the post I show you exactly how to part the hair, which is really the trick to understanding the hairstyle.
One of my daughters wore this around Disneyland one day earlier this week and we must have had over 100 compliments on it! I am sure you will see the same thing!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair elastic, 1 hair pin, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 10-15 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin by parting the hair {I part a section beginning at the end of her right eyebrow, on a diagonal, to about an inch above her left ear}…
Next, take the part to her forehead with a straight line {I know this is a strange part, but it creates just the right look when the style is finished}…
Secure the parted section out of the way for now…
Go back to top of the right ear, and begin a diagonal French braid running along the back of the head…
When you run out of hair to add into the braid, continue with a simple braid and secure with an elastic.
Now, release the section of hair on top and brush straight. This hair will be used to create the bows {you can add water, pomade, or hair wax to add extra precision to the strands you incorporate into the bows}…
Take a hairpin and slide it through the first top stitch in your French braid…
Next, take a small strand of hair from the top section and form a loop with it…
Slide the loop through the hairpin end and hold onto the loop with your left hand…
Now, gently tug the hairpin back through the loop of braid. As it pulls through, it will also bring the hair tail through and create a another loop, creating the bow look.
When the bow is complete, remove the hairpin {you can add an extra twist to one of the loops so that the bow lays and looks better}…
Let the ends of that bow fall to the left of the braid, where they will be hidden in the next bow you create…
Continue making bows all along the braid, placing them in each top stitch of the French braid…
Add hairspray or spray wax when finished for a better hold {as desired}.
