In a Twisted Side Ponytail
On the other side of your head, right above your ear, do another pinch twist down to the base of the ponytail. Bring both twists together with an elastic, wrapping the tail of the ribbon around the elastic to cover it. Tuck the end of the ribbon into the band to keep it in place and snip off the loose end.

The schoolgirl fashion trend -- plaid kilts, collared blouses -- is going strong, so it's only fitting that hair ribbons are also back in style. The problem: Unless you're Alexa Chung or Brigitte Bardot 50 years ago, you feel kind of silly wearing a hair bow.

But ribbon is an inexpensive, simple accessory that can be used to create so many hair looks, ranging from romantic and bohemian to trendy and edgy. Look to these runway models, beauty and style bloggers and celebrity tastemakers for some excellent hair bow inspo, plus styling tips for looking your age -- and, of course, totally chic.
