I guess when you get down to it, you might think that this is just "glorified puffy braids," but after I got done, it really reminded me of one of my favorite hairdo's I did forever ago when I'd first started my blog. If you've been around from the beginning, or have gone back through my archives, you might remember THIS 'do. It wasn't puffy ponies - or whatever you call them, but for the toddler version - that's what I had to do.
Sorry - I forgot to take a picture of the left side of her head first. But being by parting the hair off center. I switched things up a bit, and did the side part on her left side. Then part down to the left ear and make a little ponytail. Secure with a rubber band. Then with the hair on the right side, make a diagonal part so that you make a triangular section of hair on the top of the head. Secure with a rubber band.
With the remaining hair that is on the right side, part it off to make another ponytail, and include the one you just made on the top of the head in it as well. Secure it with a rubber band. (Sorry if it looks like she's picking her nose in a couple of these pictures! She had a little cup of water and was dipping her finger in it and "painting" her face!)
Here's how it'll look on the right side of the head. At this point, you'll have 1 single pony on the left side, and 2 on the right side (forming 1 pony tail.)
Take the ends of each ponytail and bring towards the back of the head. Secure them with a rubber band off center - on the left side of the head. Make sure the hair is slightly damp for this - it works much better.
Then part the hair from around the back of the head from ear to ear. Smooth the hair and include the ponytail from above. Use a rubber band and form another pony tail.
This is what it'll look like form the right side at this point.
Depending on how much hair you're working with, or the size of your dd's head, you can make more ponytails, and make the sections smaller. We were in a hurry, so I just made 1 more ponytail with the remaining hair at the bottom and secured it with a rubber band. I then curled her ponytail with my small barreled curing iron.
Add a fun accessory of your choosing and your done. This fun cute flower is from Every Little Detail.
So am I off my rocker, thinking Bee's hairdo resembled this old hairdo I did on Bug forever ago? Just a simpler and quicker way of doing it. In the below hairdo, I didn't include that top ponytail in any of the other sections. I did include it in the toddler version.

Very Pretty- I love how blond her hair is--- its so beautiful.
That is so cute! I think it does resemble the earlier style. I'm going to have to try both of those, hopefully the girls will move a little quicker tomorrow morning than THIS morning, so we have more time for hair! :D
My 5 yr old calls it the waterfall hair do and loves it! I haven't even considered trying it in my toddler. Guess I will.
Thanks for posting this. I have done some kinda like this but not the same it is a fun easy sassy hair do. Took me less than 5 minutes to do the whole thing. Finally a great hair do for her length hair. She also is as blonde as your Bee
Very cute and easy at the same time! I love these styles!
My daughter (almost 1) Kayla's hair is about 2.3 inches but I am dyyyyyying for it to be long and lush like your girls so I can stalk your site all day long. I really enjoy doing hair...mine is getting some length to it and I am always doing sometrhing funky with it.
Super cute! My oldest daughter LOVES the older version of this hair that you did on Bug a long time ago. She requests it a lot and I get a lot of compliments and tell them it isn't me who came up with it but someone a lot more creative!
Thanks for sharing the hair ideas and for your inspiration and creativity.
Super cute!
I love Bee's precious, silly faces!
