Hair Ribbon

Hair ribbons [ヘアリボン] (meaning bows literally styled out of ones hair) have been popping up all over magazines. From JJ to Zipper. Karme then sent me this video last week.

This has been the best tutorial I’ve seen thus far for creating this look. That said I must say in order to achieve the ribbon using this method you need hair as long and as thick as the model. I tried it out myself. You might wonder, “why no photo then?” Well, my hair is about long enough, but thickness wise my hair is MUCH too thin. My first attempt was fair, it looked decent so I thought, “I’LL REDO IT AND IT’LL BE PERFECT MY SECOND TRY!” wrong. Each attempted yielded a worse and worse outcome. So, no photo. I’d suggest trying the Zipper example found below if your hair differs from the above video in any way. The other photos offered no “how to.”
