Bow Hair Tutorial
Coquette aesthetic and balletcore have been defining fashion and beauty trends, and a staple of both is bows! When you are shopping, you may notice the accessory making a more frequent appearance on shelves. They add a perfect touch to any look, and a perfect for the holiday season. Bridal hair business owner, educator and Salon Centric's It Takes a Pro team member Alexandra Wilson (@alexandralee1016) took inspiration from the oversized hair bow trend to create this hair look that sure to turn heads at any holiday party.

- Split the hair in half horizontally.
- Secure the bottom half into a low chignon.
- Take a small 1' section out of the center of your top section and temporarily clip them towards the bottom.
- Crisscross your back two sections, create two loops with elastics, fan out and pin.
- Using a topsy tail tool, take your last small middle section and bring it over the center of chignon, finishing the bow.
- (Optional) Curl or flat iron hanging pieces.
"I absolutely love everything with bows, and I figured what's more festive than a cute holiday hair bow with some glitter? The holiday season is full of events, and this style would be the perfect to wear to any of them," Wilson shares.
