Lady Gaga Hair Bow Tutorial/ How-to

Lady GAGA Hair bow Tutorial!!!

Finally, lol.

So you need:

A wire brush

A comb

Hairspary

A few bobby pins

A few clips

At least three thin hair ties, preferably the color of your hair.

A pack of extentions, Mine were just looses kanekalon, But I think the yaki kind would work better since you need to rat it, and I had a hell of a time ratting with the Kanekalon, It was way too smooth.

So Anyway, start out with your extensions, all laid out and pretty :) Keep a bit of hair out to use later for the piece that goes around the middle of the bow.

Then measure how long you think you will need it and cut the approximent length.

Spray it down with hair spray and start ratting/teasing, that means combing the hair backwards towards the middle to attain a poof. Only do this on the part you want to be the inside of the bow.

Rat it until it's big enough and fold it over like so. Make sure to smooth the outside part out, so it's not gross looking and makes a nice casing for that poof you just made on the inside. (As you can see the two hair ties are about an inch a part, that is because I left too much hair on the ends, but it's better to have too much than too little. So I ended up just cutting a little bit off.)

Now rat on the other side.

Flip it over and smooth it out on the other side, this is the outside of the bow.

Now create the second bulb, and tie it off. You should have a nice little bow now. :3 As you can see it is rockin' a little tail, so we need to nip that in the bud.

Like so.

Don't cut off too much though, other wise it will come a part. :( Not Good. I recommend putting some glue in at this point, Underneath the bobbed tail and around the hair tie.

So, next, you take the hair you didn't use and put some hot glue on the tips, this is going to go in the center of your bow to hide that nasty hair band.

Wrap it around the middle of the bow several times. I recommend no more glue than the initial bit used to tack it down. And you should get something like this. I recommend a bobby pin to hold it together at the bottom.

Now, as for attaching it to your head, I bobby pin it in, the picture above even has a bobby pin in it. It should have a little tail on the back, Bobby pin that part to your head, and then one or two in front at the base.

You could probably put this on a head band too, but I haven't tried that. I know some tutorials suggest putting a clip on the bow, but I did try that and the clip was clearly visible unless I teased up my hair, and even then the bow was too heavy for the clip and just flopped all over the place. I don't know about you, but I want my hair bow to actually look like it's part of my hair, and to be perky and cute. :)

And that's how it's done! I have been wearing mine and it stays in really well, and I have difficult and thick hair that most things fall out of. I don't have any pictures of myself in it though :( . So I will edit this post and upload some soon! I'd love to see yours too, if you make one, and let me know if this is good or not, or suggestions or changes you made to make it work better for you? This is the first Tutorial I have ever made lol, So I would like to know what you people out there think of it. :D
