How Hair Bows are Made It is really easy to learn how to make hair bows. Try these different bows to give yourself a unique sense of style. Pony Bow Step 1 Hold some hair in the middle of your ribbon. Make one knot to fasten it. Step 2 Create a couple of loops. One loop should cross the other. Pull the loop above the loop hole you made. Step 3 After straightening the ends, secure the loops so two tails are at the bottom and two are at the top. How to Create a Headband Bow Step 1 Run a ribbon by your hairline. Pull the ends over your head. Step 2 Make a knot and secure a bow using the same technique as the pony bow. Step 3 Change the loops so the tails are shorter and the bow is wider.
