Fashion throwback - get a bow happening this season. Tying a bow in your hair this festive season is a retro hair look that is rocking this season. It takes two seconds, select velvet and you can wear it with any hair length or style. Here are three ways to rock a bow as a grown up.

PONY

It's a go-to summer look, the ponytail often needs no embleshment to look effortlessly cool. However tied at the base of a pony, a velevet ribbon is long enough to leave the ends loose.

HALF UP

For dressing up a classic half up/half down hair look - scrape back the sides of the hair toward the back of the head and secure with clips and then pin in a bow. Or wrap a ribbon around your hairline and secure the ends in a bow or knot at the back of your head.

TIED BUN

Wrapped around a topknot or loose bun, keep it in place with hair clips and then tie the ribbon around the hair. Make sure you keep the ends short so the look isn't too kid-like.
