How to do girl's hairstyles: November's Creative Genius!!

This month's Creative Genius is Karli, who has her own blog, Curly Hairdo Ideas. She has super duper cute curly hair to work with, and has some great tips on keeping those locks healthy and happy. I liked this one a lot because I have so many of you ask for good tips on SHORT hairdos, and thought this would be a super one to throw in the mix.
Thanks Karli, for sending these instructions and darling pics!

Curly Do by Karli:

To get this look we started with completely detangled curls (To detangle curls  - wet the hair, use a little leave in conditioner if desired, detangle gently with fingers first, then wide tooth comb if needed, start at the ends and work toward the roots, small sections at a time!)  then sectioned out a triangular piece in the "bangs" area near her forehead. Note that the triangle gives you something to anchor to later...
I gently, lightly twisted that hair to make a poof! I used two bobby pins to secure the hair.  (Note that the triangle you made earlier gives you something to anchor to now.)
Next, take up a section of hair from the ear up toward the area you've been working, divide it in two pieces. Twist them both individually to the right, then twist them around each other to the left and you'll end up with this...
Do the same on the other side.

Secure them with bobby pins! (I like the small ones - they seem to hold well and are better sized for little heads!) Also, if you cross the bobby pins, they sort of lock together and stay put better.
Then fluff the tails of the hair you've been working with and add a bow and you are Done! Quick, easy, unique and totally stylish! :D lol!
Her curls are the cutest! I love the little twist braid as well, peeping out of those curls. Happy November!
