DIY Hair bow bun

So this DIY essentially stems out of deep seated jealousy. I spend a lot of time browsing pinterest and staring with awe at how girls manage to twist their hair into all sort of amazing shapes. I am by no means one of those girls. I have two hairstyles; up and down. I am supremely lucky that I have curly hair because otherwise all people would be able to see how little effort I put into my hair (thank you genes!). However! Sometimes, when I am feeling a little bit fancy I pull this style out of the locker. It's quick enough to fix before a lecture and looks pretty cute. So although I will by no means be making beauty DIYs a regular thing, here is a little taster of my morning routine  and a little glimpse into just how easy hair tutorials have to be for me!

You will need:
A hair tie the same colour as your hair
Bobby Pins
Hair spray
1. Let your hair down and brush it out. The more brushed your hair is the neater your bow will end up.
2. Tie you hair up into a pony tail.
3. Now pass the rest of your hair through the band as if you are putting it up into a bun but leave out a tail of hair at the front.
4. Now take the bun you have made and divide it into two sections, push down.
5. Take the tail and wrap it around. Pin the end of the tail to the back of the bun section to secure.
6. Now fiddle with the bow sides until you are happy with how it looks and then sprrraaaaay.

See? I told you it was easy!

  1. Hahaha I love that last picture of you! I am also lazy with my hair and could never be bothered to do all those fancy hairdos I see all over Pinterest (and I fail so badly when I try pin curls), however this bow style is actually also one I have tried... Except no one got that it was a bow because I did it so badly *sigh*

  2. Great post! I love doing my hair in a bow like this but I haven't in a while... I think I need to let it grow a bit more because it all falls out and my hair is dead straight so I can't get away with it being messy like you can with curly hair :) Also, really like your photos :) xo

  3. I love that, it looks great! I can't wait to have long hair again, I used to do all sorts of braids, or buns all the time. Will take some time before that's possible though xD It looks great on you!!!
