This was really quick & easy today.
Do your braids all around the hair. If I was going to do it over - I would have added more braids than what I did.
Put all the hair into a pony tail.
Do your messy bun & your finished!!
First off, part the hair on the natural side & then part from the part down to the earlobe - on each side of the part. Pull the rest of the hair up into a clip.
As you can see, her hair is all clipped up & I've grabbed both sides of the head band & tied them together underneath with an elastic.
Then, I parted the hair going along with that same natural part, a little bit further down & once again cut towards the ear lobe so that I had a piece that I could twist. I pinned it to the side, to stay out of my way, so I could part the hair down the middle now & pull it all together into one pigtail, including the twist.
Part the other side & get your chunk & twist as you did to the other side. This is what it looked like when I pinned it so I could smooth all the hair into a pony tail before adding it (& as I was making my middle part for the piggies)
Make sure you include the end of the hair wrapped around (headband) into one of your pigtails or split it into both your pigtails. Now that both your piggies are in, continue twisting the piggie all the way down. 
Loop it up & secure it with an elastic. It automatically will do a "figure 8" twist in the pig tail if she's got long enough hair. Spray the ends a little - so they will flip over the pig tails.
& once again - of course - add your darling bows. Didn't the head band turn out darling?
I always do her hair right out of the bath - so her hair is damp. Do a slant part & add your 2 elastics. Then part the rest of her hair straight down the middle.
Do 2 elastcis underneath, clipping the rest of the hair up EXCLUDING the top piggies.
Now, wrap the pieces around each other.
& wrap them again so they look like this.
Pull it to the head & make the twist even with the middle part. Pin it so it will be stay put.
Do the exact twist to the top, also pinning it
After you have pinned the top & bottom twists, make your pig tails, taking one side of the bobby pins out while working on that side. Still make sure both the twists are even in the middle.
Since I haven't done JUST pig tails in a long time, that's what I wanted to. I round brushed them because it is SO easy & it gives the hair volume, while curling it at the same time. So killing 2 birds with 1 stone - NO curling iron. The easiest way to round brush piggies is to blow the hair until it is ALMOST dry. Then wrap one whole side onto the round brush & blow dry it - rather than doing it in pieces or layers. It gives that soft look.
I did "rat" the top near the elastics, just a little & sprayed it. This really was super fast for me - but if you want to save time - cut the bottom part & just do the top.
Add some cute bows & you're done!!
Pink & brown coordinating ribbon just cut into same length strips. Hot glued onto a clip & then do the middle like you normally would with a bow (tie in knot & hot glue down around sides)
I wanted to show you the back. If you look closely - you can see the clip with the middle part glued around.
Just another one. Pretty darn cute, right? See if you can make them yourself. This is the one I used in her hair today. It would also be cute if you made the strands smaller & so you could make 2 bows for pigtails.
Here she is with the darling bow in. If you scroll to the bottom of this post, there is a better picture with the bow in it.
Start by parting the hair down the middle. (it looks a little off because i didn't have the camera centered) Put 4 elastics in: 2 on each side of the middle part.
This is what it should look like. Don't mind my bright red shirt in the back ground.
Twist each of the pieces left over.
Put them into one elastic.
& of course, I can't leave her hair unless it's got curls in it. Also, here's the cute bow. 
So start by parting the hair to the side. Do each section off to the side a little bit. Once you have your elastic in, tuck the ribbon under the elastic so that just a tiny bit is sticking out underneath. Make sure that little piece stays tucked underneath so you don't see it at all.
Part the section for the next elastic. Before putting the elastic in, wrap the ribbon a couple times around the strand of hair from the first section.
Continue to wrap the ribbon all the way thru your puff braids. (I did 4 sections)
Once you get to this part, twist braid the ribbon & hair together, twisting each side, like I've shown before. But the ribbon is one half & the hair is the other.
This is what it should look like.
Add gel to prep before diffusing. This is the best gel that I have found. I just buy it at Evan's Hair School & we have a huge bottle that we just keep refilling this one with. It's great for little boy's hair too.
Pssst...I know a secret!! If your little girly doesn't have natural curly hair, like mine, than here's a little secret: Beat 1 EGG WHITE & apply it to your girly's hair just like you would apply gel. Then diffuse like you normally would. Still add a little bit of gel too just to hold it. This totally works! My hair is straight as can be & it works well for me, although you might get a stinch of smelly egg white in your hair, so I would spray a bath & body works spray in it when I was done.
Diffuse her hair. If you don't own a diffuser (most blow dryers come with them now a days) then just use your hand & scrunch up her hair & place the blow dryer next to your hand. Diffuse until it is dry. Spray with hair spray so it will hold all day.
Add a cute bow at the end of puff braid.
Pretty simple, right? If you don't have the time to do a ribbon - then just do normal puffy braids. But you have to try the curling with the egg whites. Let me know if it worked for you! 
Zig-zag the part from the top all the way to the bottom. Do puffy braids, starting at the bottom & making your way up by clipping the top hair out of the way.
I did three rows of puff braid & then put into pigtails.
Do 4-5 braids on each pigtail.
Loop each braid up & then put one elastic around it to hold the loops in place.
Curl the ends of the hair over the piggies & spray.
