Hair Ribbon
Thursday, 1/22 [2009] // 50 Comments 
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.”

First sighting in Ageha of course~

cute! i was wondering how to make one too after seeing it in the lady gaga video for poker face~
i will have to try it out~! thanks!
OMG! *______________________________*~
And my hair is thick enough but not long enough ;__;
Ahh teh cuteness
I’d love to do this, since my hair is wavy, but I just don’t think I have the patience, haha
It’s amazing what one can do with hair. But man, that girl make it look so easy. I would never be able to achieve that in my life time. Even if I had the length and thickness.
WHY DO I FIND THIS SO AMAZING!???!!
I’ll try it when I’m not so lazy! THANKS!
I NEED TO DO THIS >0
i love this ! itss sooo cute ! though, I wont be able to try it since i recently got a bob cut
How cute ;__;
I’m never going have long enough hair for it though xD
Well, now if that’s not incentive for me to hurry up and buy a new full head of extensions I don’t know what is. I wonder if it would actually look ridiculous though.
L’arc~en~Saya, Gera Hahaheehee!
my hair is not long and not thick.
but wow, the model’s hair in the video really looks perfect.love the color too
Aww my hair is definitely thick enough, but not long enough. I’m trying to grow it out, but the ends end up getting damaged and then I have to cut off all of my progress. *u*
Extensions would probably help, but my hair is auburn right now & I can’t find any to match. I also don’t want to go back to brown *just* yet.
But still, the style is soooo cute!!!
I’m not sure how I feel about this style, lol! It looks cute enough on the models, but I’m not sure how it would translate ‘in real life’… I think the last photo probably has the most ‘mainstream’ version of this style.
so cute!
too bad i permed my hair if not i can try this!
So cute!! Too bad I don’t have long hair now =( But when I do, I’ll definitely make a hairbow
Too cute! Thanks for the tips Jen
So cute
I’m so sad I can’t do this to my hair because although it’s long ang thick enough, it’s also all iregular (cut in layers) XD
WHOAAA! That’s so crazy!! I don’t think I can do that with my hair either.
That is SO CUTE, but my hair is really thin and I have no volume at all. ;_; And my hair isn’t as long as the model. I’m trying to grow it out though but it doesn’t seem to be growing much. I think maybe I need to go to the hair salon and get a trim. XD
Btw, I love the model’s hair the hair colour. Makes me want to dye my hair dark brown too. lol!
My hair is thick enough…BUT IT’S NOT EVEN MEDIUM LENGTH YET. 。゜゜ヽ(´□`ヽ。)°゜。ぃゃ~~~~~ん
I want my long hair back so bad.
But, that video-wow, her site has so many tuts! binosusume is like my favorite new blog of the day.
Sadly, I could never pull this off.
I first saw it on Lady Gaga, which I thought was pretty interesting. Didn’t know it was such a big trend in Japan!!
That’s so cute. I just know I couldn’t re-create the style but it’s just so so cute
haha @_@
my friend found this video last week
and we tried it
result= FAIL
aw i think that’s cute. but alas my hair is super thin ;A; i want to do the style with an actual bow and one’s hair is tied to the top of their head (does that make sense? o.o;
but maybe i will still try this! thank you for the how tos!
its so sad cause i can’t even do the bun on the head
let alone this ;_;
but it looks so cute *O*
I wish I had thicker hair in order to do cute hairstyles ;__;
it’s cute! but it looks like it requires A LOT OF HAIR :/
it’ll be really bad if it made you look bald at a weird crazy angle
That is such a great tutorial. I really want to try it now.
I almost want longer hair…in the case of not having enough (thickness-wise) hair, one should TEASE TEASE TEASE. It’s hard to explain but it’s an updo technique!! I’ll have to try this on my mannequin….
ITS SO CUTE
i mean the video girl’s hair, her hair is so nice
i have uber short hair, so i guess i am out of the loop
maybe i can make a smalll bow
*waves fist*
i guess i’ll have to patiently grow my hair out then =_= even then it’ll be too thin to do it
Wow…that’s something else. I like the last girl’s example best, just a little ribbon on the top. I do have to say the third girl’s make up is freaking me out! They’re trying to make her eyes look bigger than they really are…@_@;
Wow, that’s so different but cute at the same time. I wish I had thicker hair because then I’d be able to pull it off then. The small bow intrigues me though.
I just wanna say thank you because I had lost the URL to the model’s blog when my other PC died. I’m so happy I can check out her blog again. She has the coolest hair & nail tutorials!
Thank you!
It’s funny, I had just seen this for the first time and immediately tried it out the other day. I took photos because I saw someone post about it on LJ:

Soo cute! Ima try this!
my hair is too short & thin to do this :p
i like the last little bow picture, but i saw this on yahoo and just had to post this xD
http://omg.yahoo.com/photos/what-were-they-thinking/2606/3
she must have super thick hair to do that!!! *tries it secretly in bathroom*
Heh - it’s such a cute look! Might try the smaller Zipper version on myself when I’ve got a spare … er .. lots of time spare
Damn, I wish I had the patience to grow out my hair!
/cry
D:

That is too cute! When i get my hair straightened im going to try this
I’m gonna try it today. Too freakin’ cute, yeah?
^-^
Cute! My hair is neither long enough nor thick enough to even pull off the smallest of hair ribbons, lol.
Aww, that is a cute look - I loved it on Lady Gaga. I have curly hair so I won’t be trying it though.
this is so cute! i could probably do this…if i just straightened my hair a little so its not wavy/curly~ But….all the guys at school would laugh at me ;_____;
Hair ribbons are so cute! Wow. Too bad my hair’s too short since I just donated it this summer. D: I’ll have to wait another year before I can do that..
too freaking cute!!If my hair gets longer I’ll try!
This is totally cool & cute! I could never do this style unless I was wearing extensions or something, but when I am I MUST try this! Ahh american fashion is so not as cool as asian fashion by far!
I want to do this to my hair but my hair is WAY too thin
Jen your so awesome! XD Thanks for this I’ve been wanting to know how to do hair ribbon’s forever~
After seeing your post I saw this, celebrities and hair bows!

HAH! That’s so cute. But so many pins are needed! It’s definately gonna hurt when one tries to take it out.
