Before I start this post I realized my pictures were not the best. If anyone wants me to provide better instructions e-mail me or leave a comment saying so and I will re-create it with a better step-by-step. Sorry and I hope it makes enough sense:)
This was done the day after this hair-do. Which made this go by super fast because the braids were left in from yesterday's do. Go check it out to see how this Hair-do originated.
I started with these 9 braids. She slept in them so they are a little frizzier than I would like but I am not about to re-do them either.
Pull the braids out of the way and clip them together.
Take the remaining hair and put it in a side ponytail.
Un-clip the braids.
Start with the braid in the middle and grab the braid next to it. Wrap them around each other.
Then I grabbed the braid on the other side and did the same thing.
Do this with all of the braids. The pieces on the right side I hooked into her ponytail with an elastic. The second to last section I put an elastic in to hold it's shape. When you get to the last braid on the left side you will need to tie the braids in a knot.
After you tie the braids in a knot add an elastic at the bottom of it to keep it's shape.
Take these last 2 sections and tie them together in a knot.Then hook them into the ponytail.
See how on the right side I also put an elastic in the last section to hold it's shape?
Then I put her hair in a messy type of bun. Then I added my hair thing and it was done. The instructions make this seem like an extremely long hair-do, but it took me under 10 minutes.

That's way cute! Love it!!
Love it! I'm going to try it on my Shimmy Today after she gets out of school.
Love it. It looks amazing, yet you make it look so simple.
That is just gorgeous! I wish my little diva would hold still long enough to let me do her hair this way.
OH I really like this one!! I will have to try this out for sure!! Love the ones that hold for a few days!! :)
Hey, so I checked out Chic Clips and I really liked the pink and creamsicle korker, the light pink and brown korker, and then I really liked the lavender and brown gymboree one. I like the whole pink, blue, lavender/brown combo lately. Like I said before my wild woman doesn't always sit still long enough for me to do her hair. However, perhaps I could persuade her with these "pretties".
Absolutely beautiful!
I'm amazed at your hairdos and even more so by your patient daughter! She must be a darling! My 5 year old throws a tantrum when she just sees the hairbrush... braiding? She would squirm like a little worm.
Found you through SITS. Great blog with lots of beautiful pictures. Please visit me too!
Greetings from Spain
Stopping by from SITS to give a little blog ♥
I ♥ that hair do!!!! It is so beautiful!
Stopping by from SITS to say hi!
Wow those braids are amazing! I think they are beautiful and I am so intimidated by them. I will have to see if my daughter lets me try it on her.
I love this style! My poor daughter doesn't have enough hair to do little braids like this, sadly. But I think I may try it with small ponytails.
Thanks for stopping by the blog! My kitty is a tutu fanatic - he absolutely loves just curling up with them. Strange little guy. :)
stopping by from roll call! amazing hair styles, wish you lived near us!

That is darling. I love it. And I think your pictures are perfect. You do great work.
Holy Cow! I'm new to your site, so this is probably old hat to everyone else, but I am freakin in awe! That is beautiful! I can't wait for Summer's hair to grow long enough to do this:)
Thanks for stopping by on my special day!
Seriously, can I send my daughter to your house for a hair do..this is SOOO cute!

Take care and be blessed!
