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.
