Start by sectioning the hair starting at the bottom & adding your elastic. 
Section the next part & cross the lower piggie into it. 
make it all the way to the top, ending at a side pony. 
I curled the pony & added a bow. 
I started by pulling the front back in a triangle shape. Add your elastic. 
Put the rest into piggies. I defused it just a little bit to give it more volume but it can be straight too. 
Just bunch the hair up, as shown, and add your elastic. Leave some of the hair underneath hanging so it looks loose. 
Add a bow - I added it to the first elastic instead of the 2 piggies just to change things up. 
Use your fingers to spread the bun out more. Spray to hold. That's all it is. Really simple. 
Throw the hair up into piggies. I did a zig-zag part just to add a little more to it. These curls are SUPER easy & work for everything. This is actually how I did her hair for our family pictures. I'll have to post a picture. 
Then wrap the rest around the barrel. Hold for about 25-30 seconds. Don't worry if the hair twists while you wrap it. It looks just as cute. 
These don't look as curly because I did thicker strands to make it go quicker. But I sprayed it with hairspray then ran my fingers through it. You don't have to run your fingers through - it gives it a curlier look. It holds pretty well all day long. 
Then add your bows. All of my front view pictures are pretty blury - so this is what you get!!
Split the hair down the middle. On each half, I divided it into 4 sections & braided. 
I wanted to show on each half I braided the first piece, then I split the next section into a triangle - like you see - & then parted it from the section to the ear to go as a guiding line what to divide. 
Okay - so now we have all 8 braids -ready to weave away. 
I started by criss-crossing the first two braids & put into 2 pigtails. Then I went to the next braid & so on until they were all added into the pony. But I did over/under with each braid so it looked like a weaving effect. 
Here's what it looked like when I had all the braids pulled back. 
I braided the piggies with some whispies sticking up at the top to flip back over the braids. Add your cute bows & you're finished!! 
One of my cute friends from high school has a bow blog. They recently moved to London & she says that they don't love bows like we do over here. So she's up & doing her blog again. Check her blog out. It's http://kylaskreations.blogspot.com/ She sent me this today:
I'm going to have to demonstrate these curls - it's the same way I curl mine & I've been doing them more often on her lately & they seem to hold a lot better than wringlet curls. I start by curling just the top layer. Then go fill in spots (i ended up curling all of her hair but on myself, I don't curl all of the underneath - it gets too thick). You hold the curling iron closer to the base of the head & wrap the hair around the curling iron & hold for 20-25 seconds. After I've gone all the way around - I brush my fingers through to make it not look "just off the curling iron look". Then I spray pretty good with hair spray to hold it. That's it. This would work on any length of hair. Try it out & let me know how it worked on your girlie.
