You’ll need:
Hairspray
Pin Tail Comb
Backcombing Brush
Hair Pins & Grips
Hair Bands

Steps:

Straighten the whole hair before you begin.

Section off the top of the hair above the ears, leaving the front sections around the face free.

Using a hair band, place the lower section of hair into a central ponytail.

Starting at the front, backcomb the top section of the hair to give volume, spraying as you go. Backcomb as much or as little depending on how much of a bouffant you would like.

Smooth the top layer of the backcombed hair back using a brush into a small beehive. Take a small section of backcombed hair near the pony tail and ensure you keep it free in order to form the cente of the bow later.

To secure the backcombed hair into a small beehive, shape at the back of the head, slightly twisting the hair and gripping into position.

Separate all the remaining hair at the back into two parts. Use the hair straighteners to curl the section around slightly.

Backcomb the section to create volume for the bow and smooth the top layer with the backcombing brush.

Take the left section of the remaining hair and roll it round to the left and back under itself to create one side of the bow. Pin it into place, tucking in any loose strands of hair and spray.

Repeat the process on the other side to create a full bow, ensuring both sides are even.

Take the section you’ve left free and fold it over the centre of your bow, pinning underneath. Backcomb the loose strands from the centre of the bow and pin them into the inside of the bow. Spray to hold.

If you’ve got a fringe or shorter layers at the front, then use the straighteners to create a gentle wave. Once finished, spray to hold the style in place.
