Here's a little fun for a Sunday night: The hair bow is a crazy hairstyle that is ultra femme but super easy to punk out if you choose.you may have seen it on such stars as Lady Gaga in the past. I tried it out the other night when going out in the Castro, a very fun part of San Francisco, and a VERY appropriate area of the city to test out a new look or two.
Here's a shot of the whole look from the front. As you can tell (I
assume), I only did half of my hair in the bow, I think it works better
for me. If I were to use all of my hair to do this, it would be
ridiculously big and over the top. I'm not Lady Gaga, I'm not even
close to trying to be.
The fact that it's really not
difficult to do is also a pretty big factor in my new love for this style. I put my hair in a
half pony, but before the last wrap around of my hair elastic, I left a
loop with a tail of hair that stopped between the loop and my
hairline. Then I wrapped that tail around the hair elastic and bobby
pinned it into place. Feel free to ask me for pics of the process, I'll
take some.
Here's the final look I went with. I layered 2 lipsticks to make that color and I am sort if in love with it.
This is what those who are taller than I am saw, and frankly, I'm a little jealous. You can really see the "bow" from this angle. 
This is my absolute favorite part
of this hairstyle. I mean so often something will look really cool in
the front an be an absolute wreck in the back, but I'm into the way this
looks, although the waves probably help that. I have a feeling if you
have thin hair, you'd have to use all of the your hair to get the same
effect from the front, therefore changing this view a lot.
This hairstyle really is quick and easy, although be careful taking out the elastic because there is a good chance a knot magically formed around it. Be cautious if you love your mane like I do mine.
