what should I do to get the bow stand in its place and the hair no to mes up?

Thank you
Firt of all it's in how you tease. Part the hair you want to gather into the hair (less makes a better poof, but the amount of hair taken is dependent on the size of the head). Once parted, take a small come and tease close to the scalp all around the part line. This will keep your part true. With that done start at the front, at the base of the nose...tease tightly, then a section at a time, tease. Then take a teasing brush and tease all through the hair, making sure every inch of hair is teased. Spray, then with a soft small brush, begin smoothing very ligtly, all around the outside only. Once you have smoothed, gather hair together, and place your band about an 1/2 inch from the scalp. At the back of the gathered pony tail pull a small strand of hair, this will get your poof, then pull a small of hair from the center. This will secure your work You can accentuate your poof by inserting a rat tail comb and gently pulling. Then spray like heck. Smooth out the pony tail, add your bow, then another band to secure that bow in place. Now tease the tail spray and smooth over your finger to form the fan. Fold it over add another band. Spread your fan and add Stick up for stiffness and to settle stray hairs. Is this long, yes. and there are other ways of doing it. A bit more complicated...but, as time goes on you'll be able to do this with ease and can tackle the other methods. The key is practice, practice, practice.
