First off, love the closed eyes. We wanted to be festive for the 24th with her cute head band, but I also wanted her hair up & out of her face because of how hot it has been.
Part the hair on the natural side. French braid each side, just half way.
Criss-cross the braids and put them into pigtails.
Do your messy buns. For these - I looped her hair & pinned it & with the last piece, I wrapped it around the middle & pinned it.
That's all there is to it. 
Knots, knots & more knots.
Part the hair a little more off to the side than you normally would, because there is only one line, it looks better. Gel damp hair. It's easier to knot the hair if you start by twisting the piece you are going to knot.
Wrap the hair to tie it into a knot.
Pull the knot tight & twist the next knot, adding the previous knot into it. Tie your second knot.
After I knotted the hair twice, I pinned it so I could work with the rest of the hair & pull it into a slight side pony tail. Then I took the bobby pin out after it was all pulled back.
After the hair was into a pony, I split the hair in half but I made the halves very uneven, with one large piece & one small piece. Tie the hair into a knot, right over left & pull it tight. Now, see the smaller piece of the two ends? Wrap that around the pony tail.
I put an elastic in place to hold the wrap around, but kinda hid it with the hair.
Although it looks like alot of steps, it really is so easy & all I needed was 2 elastics for it!! Pretty good, right? 
This makes Adde look like she has more hair than what she really does.
So start with your side pony tail. 
Do twist braids all around. To do a TWIST braid: Grab the section that you want included in the twist. Split it in half & twist each half (like in picture). I twist the right piece to the right & the left piece to the left.
Start wrapping around each other. You need to keep twisting each piece as you wrap around the hair though. This is what keeps the hair twisted.
There you go. I can never get a perfectly smooth pony. So after it's pulled up - spray it a little with hair spray & smooth it out with a comb. Works every time!!
Put the hair into pigtails (or a pony tail) & braid a piece from UNDERneath the pigtail.
Wrap the braid around the pig tail (I wrapped it twice & made sure the last wrap was under the pigtail - but you could just wrap it once if your braid was wide enough). Tie it off with a clear elastic. You can see the elastic here in this picture, so just pull the braid gently over the elastic so it's not showing. Unbraid up to the elastic or what is left so it is now part of the pig tail. Do it to both sides.
I curled her pigtails & topped it off with a red cowgirl hat & it turned out darling!! 
The best way to do this is when the hair is slightly damp. I parted it on the side, trying to keep the elastics as even as possible.
I curled her hair to finish it off.
People always ask how I get her curls to stay all day. The cue is "dirty" hair. We've all heard it before. But since I bathe her in the mornings, I blow dry her hair, add polmade & curl it in sections (bottom, middle & top). Before I curl each section, I spray her hair with hair spray to make it "dirty". Then I curl away. I spray again once I've curled one section. Repeat with each section.
(If you don't know how to do this french braid, remember you can click on the utube link that I provided for a demo.)
Start by parting the hair straight down the middle. Like always, I clip the side I am not working on out of the way.
Braid away. I like to go down a little further, just to make sure I get all the hair in.
Do the other side now & put an elastic in about the same place.
Section the hair into 3 different sections. The left side, middle & right side. I like to clip the left & right sides out of the way, so I am only working on one section at a time. I start with the middle section & part near the bottom & clip the rest up. Put that part into an elastic.
So, do your third elastic & this is what it looks like. Leave the top & do the same things to the side, with the parts all matching.
Wrap the hair on top into little buns & holding with an elastic. I added the same ric-rac that I used last week
