Every day a ponytail and off to school; but soon your girl will beg for hair that’s extra cool. Follow Blo Salon & Day Spa’s easy steps for a bow bun that’ll turn heads.

1. Side-part dry hair with comb, then pull into tight center ponytail.

2. Divide hair into three sections.

3. Create a loop with the right section and secure bobby pin underneath loop.

4. Use hair spray to hold and create shape. Repeat with left section.

5. Fold middle section to create smaller loop and pin up between side loops.

And off she goes.
