This is fairly easy and quick and works well on shorter hair as long. Here's both girls with twists.
First, you'll need only 1-2 elastics, depending on how you'd like to finish the hair, and a comb. I like to have all the hair damp--I use a spray bottle and spray it well, on top and underneath, since you'll be pulling the hair underneath up. Part hair into slant, and comb down smooth. Having the hair damp will keep the hair smooth and help stray pieces stay in longer.
Part off small section, about inch deep, and split hair into equal parts. You'll be twisting bottom piece up over the top.
This shows the first section of hair that you'll incorporate into the twist. First twist the two pieces around each other, and then after a full twist, then bring the first section in. I'm holding all 3 here so you can see them clearly, but I do not bring in the left section until after the right and middle are twisted around once.
Incorporating first piece after initial twist.
Continue to bring up sections and twist in, just like you do when french braiding. To keep the top of the hair from bunching, periodically comb it down, and keep the twist tight, close to the head.
I like to use my pinky on my right hand to part the hair I bring up in the twist, but whatever works best for you!
This is where I stop the twist--right above the ear. I then comb back the hair that's left in the front and make it smooth, and pull it into the twist.
It should look like this once all the hair is in. Keeping it tight, this is where you put in your elastic.
To make the stuffed bun on the side, after securing the hair in the elastic, on the last pass through, I pull the hair only thru halfway.
I then fold the tail up and over.
and stuff it back into the elastic. You can pull on the hair after it's secured to adjust and make it look even.
If your girl's hair is too short for the bun, you can leave it in a ponytail, or braid it down. I spray with hair spray to keep it in. Clip in a bow or flower on top. Side and back view. All done (and so was she!)
