How to Use a Hair Bow Snood
Create an old-fashioned and classy updo with a hair snood. Resembling hairnets in design, a hair snood often features a crocheted lace or frilly mesh pouch that holds hair neatly. Sometimes a fancy snood will sit below a decorative hair clip or barrette, adding extra embellishment to the hairpiece. Use a hair bow snood to create a simple yet elegant hairstyle for medium to long hair. Does this Spark an idea?

Braid the ponytail in a simple braid that extends down to the tips of the ponytail. Arrange the braid into a bun by coiling it loosely around the base of the braid, and fasten bobby pins around the braid to hold it tight. Another option is to coil the ponytail into a simple bun around the base of the ponytail, fastening it with bobby pins.

Clip the hair bow to your hair immediately above the bun.

5
Open the snood and place the lace or mesh around the bun. Tuck the edges of the snood around the edges of the bun -- the edges of the snood usually have stretchy elastic that should conform tightly around the bun.

Fasten the edges of the snood tightly to the bun by inserting bobby pins about every 2 inches around the snood.
