Basics...Three Ponytails with Clips
Super simple and super easy, especially on the days you are running to get out the door.
Simply part a square on the front of the hair. Pull into a ponytail, repeat on either side and put little clips on each ponytail. Can't get easier than that.

Triple Ponytails
We have been doing this one quite a bit lately. She loves it, I love it, life is good!
First, part the hair how you normally would for two ponytails. Then divide each side into thirds. I pulled the top third into a ponytail and the bottom third into a ponytail.
Then you take and pull the bottom ponytail and the top ponytail into the middle...like so.
Repeat on the other side.
You can curl the ponytails from here or leave them straight. However, I wasn't feeling it yet. So I took this method from Jenn (which I am in LOVE with, by the way) and made a messy bun.
I pulled out my curling iron. GASP! Did I really just say curling iron on this site? Why, yes. I believe I did. I do own one you know. Don't tell my flat iron. It may cry.
Then we added purple bows. It was purple day.
And here it is in action. I totally stole this off her preschool blog from last week. Hope you don't mind Eve.

Criss cross braids with only 1/2 of the hair
This is just like THIS hairstyle, with only 1/2 of the hair. That is the nice thing about hair, you can change one style by just doing it on half the hair or doing the same style on either side of the hair.
Start by parting the hair in the middle and pulling each side into a ponytail. Braid down the hair, now here is my tip. When I am braiding, I pull the braid over to the other ponytail to see where I need to end my braid. I don't like having to redo things. Secure the braid with an elastic.
Now, take the braid and flip it over so the end is by the opposite base of the ponytail. Pull a section of the elastic up and slip the end of the braid under the elastic.
Now you just curl the ends, or make them spikey. If I did spikey ends, I would have done the hair that was left down straight. Since I curled them, I curled the ends. I like consistency.
Slip some bows in and there you have it.

Puffy Braids with Braids
Part the hair on the side or the middle. I parted on the side and took it to a gradual part to the middle of the nape of her neck.
Part from the crown to the ear and pull into a ponytail.
Braid the ponytail and pull up another section of hair. Combine the braid into the ponytail and secure with another elastic.
Repeat to the endof the hair.
Then repeat on the other side.

Girly Do's by Jenn
In a terrible case of mistaken identity, Blogger has mistook my friend Jenn for a robot and is deleting her blog! I can't imagine waking up one day and learning that you are losing everything you worked hard for.
There is a silver lining...she has one week to transfer everything from her old blog (this can't be an easy feat) and give it a new home. What does this mean to you? It means you need to change your bloglines, Google Reader, and address bars to reflect her new bloggy. Her first one was FANTASTIC and I just checked out her new one and it is equally impressive.
