I mentioned when we filmed the Lady Gaga Hair Bow tutorial that I had another variation to do on short hair. This is it!
A fan posted her version of this hairstyle back in May 2011 and I promised to do a tutorial on it {it just took awhile to get down to it on my list}. We love these hair bows because they fit wonderfully on all girls... even girls with short hair! Jenn, another hairblogging friend of mine, also did a variation of these here... http://tinyurl.com/bowpiggies
For a more grown-up "half-up-half-down" hairstyle, you can do twistbacks {or braid backs} from the front along the sides that are then tied together in the back. Then complete this bow in the remaining ponytail, with the rest of the hair down in curls. Super cute!
Enjoy!

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 1 alligator clip, water bottle, 6 clear rubber bands, 4 bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Hi, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles. And this morning, we're going to film bow tails.. So this sort of a take off of the Lady Gaga bow, but it's for short hair or for when you want to do you like a top bow, not your whole head of hair.. This is a great one., So we've started by parting, her hair down the middle and then doing like a triangle shape over to her ears and then securing it into just pig tails. And we're going to take the comb and divide that piece of hair -- turn Her so you can see her- just in half., So when you get the chunk the way you want it, then I'm going to clip this bottom section just out of the way for now. OK. And then we're going to split that top section in half.. Will you hold that for me babe Now, I'm going to wet it down just because I think it stays in better if it's wet., But it's totally up to you whether you want to do that or not. We're going to take this hair and make a bunny Ear like a little loop. And then we're going to take a clear elastic and we're going to go right over and secure that bunny ear as close to the original elastic as possible. And I'll show you a better view of that in just a second.. So you can see my original elastic and now the elastic we just did. OK. And we're going to make the other loop. Again we're going to wet the hair down. Make a loop.. Take our elastic. We'll go over that piece of hair and try to get it down as close to that original elastic as possible. And secure it.. So now you can see your original elastic and then two other little elastics in there.. Now we're going to un-clip that back piece of hair we had. And you can see --. Let me turn her, so you can see the back -- that these two pieces crisscross over each other like so, and this comes up in between.. Now we're going to take a topsy tail. And if you don't have a topsy tail, then I have a video on how to make one at home., Like a homemade one, that you can try out. We're going to take the topsy tail., We poked it in through Just underneath the elastic. We're going to pull that hair over and through the topsy tail and then pull the topsy tail through.. And it's going to flip that hair back underneath, like so. Now, just for a little added security, -- tip your head up just a little bit there you go --, I'm going to just take a bobby pin and just tuck it right into that. Just to hold that hair in place., Then you can fluff your bow. If you need to. Use some of these. OK. Now the other thing I like to do --, you can see that from the back, this is standing up just a little bit, so it pokes up off of her head.. I also like to just take a bobby pin and just grab that little piece of hair. I'll show you again. So you get a good view. Grab a little piece of hair right here and then a bottom hair and secure it.. So it just pulls that down and it sits it a little bit tighter onto her head.. I think those just look cuter. OK.. So let's the other side. Switch over here. Again going to just divide the hair in half.. So we had a viewer. Send this hairdo in and we thought it was adorable on Facebook., So we thought we'd give it a tutorial. Promised that we would. OK. Split it in half again.. Can you hold this one for me? Sweetie Thank you., Wet the hair down.. Do you have an elastic, Make the loop. Take the elastic and secure. Next side same thing., Make your loop. Take an elastic. Thank you. Tip up for me. Secure. OK.. Take that center section of hair. Tuck the topsy tail in., Pull the hair, through. Voila. And then bobby pin., Just going to do one right, there. And one on the back just to hold those down a little bit tighter. And there you go., And then you can Just tug and pull and fluff. And as they dry, the bows will dry out a little bit. Cute. Like the ends will dry and be a little softer looking. And there you have the super fun bow tails.. We hope you enjoy and we'll see you on the next tutorial.

meraquamarine95: i must say i've seen many versions, but none of them used the "topsy tail." Very smart and very cute! :)
meraquamarine95: take a pencil and a length of string twice as long. tape both ends of the string securely at the middle of the pencil with both ends pointing towards the point of the pencil. then tape the string to the end (eraser part) of the pencil leaving a loop that sticks out at the end. that should work just fine:)

Thanks, so much!
