Most of the portraits available of boys with hair bows were taken from the front as a normal portrait would be taken. Thus it is not always apparent how the hair was done at the back. I have so few back views that I am not yet certain how the hair was normally done at the back when hair bows were used. I will comment in more details when I obtain more images and am able to study this.
