The Hair Bow Bun is an older style I somehow thought I had in the Styling Station already! I found some older pictures of it while hunting through my files, so I came here to check... nope! Not here! So, I took a couple of styling pictures to go with it to help you create your own Hair Bow Bun.



To create this style start by putting your hair in a low pony tail, and band securely. It is best to use a band that matches your hair color closely. I did not do that in the styling pictures in order to show you how I am rolling the hair. Once your hair is in a pony tail, divide hair into two equal sections.

From Left to right:

Picture 1- Use a large roller or any other smooth, round object you can get your hands on. To show you how easy it is, I chose a bottle of self tanning lotion/foam. Take one section of your hair and hold it out to the side. Place the roller beneath the hair. You will in a sense, be rolling the hair under, towards your scalp. Once you reach your scalp, carefully slide the roller/bottle, out of your hair, while holding the curled hair.

Picture 2- Take a bobby pin and slide a pin on each end, carefully holding the shape as you go. Use as many bobby pins as needed to give you a secure hold. Pinning tip: If you create and X shape with your pins, crossing one over the other, it helps to hold better.

Repeat the frist two steps on the other side.

Picture 3- This shows the completed hair bow without floral adornment.

Picture 4- Floral accent: To add a floral accent, find a silk flower of your liking at a craft store. Cut the stem down to just shorter than the length of your rolls. Insert the flower behind the pony tail band. This will give it a strong hold. If needed, pin the stem at the base.

Simple, easy, fun!

That flower accent really adds something special to it as well. That makes me want to take a trip down to the local craft store to look for some silk flowers.

But I tried it and my hair was not working with it!  Not a 'clean' hair style for me...  It kept falling out of my hands begore I could get a pin in.      I'll have to try it another day and maybe use some aloe vera...  Thanks for the good idea.

Just wrapping it around your hand. It might not be as perfectly round, but might work just as well or better. Sometimes it just takes a little practice to get used to controlling the hair while you slip out the roller and pin in place! Hope you can get it to work!
