The flips are really easy. For instructions and credits, go
HERE. I did three on each side then made a ponytail in the back. The easiest way for me was to divide the hair into three sections first. The two sides are for the flips and then the center piece is the main part of the ponytail.
I love this bun! It is so easy and looks so nice and sleek. Here's the trick (if you don't already know). You take a child sock. I did a tan one that C had grew out of because E's hair is brown. You cut of the toe of the sock and roll it up so it looks like a doughnut. You put the hair in a ponytail and slide the sock over it. Have her tip her head down so the hair falls all around the sock. Then wrap a hair elastic around the sock and voila! A perfect bun! I usually need to wrap the remaining ends around the bun and secure them with bobby pins. Or you could curl them and loosely pin them around, depending on how fancy you want it.

You can do all kinds of things with this bun. This hairstyle is one we do alot. You do small ponytails around the head. Separate them and combine two pieces into a twist. Then pull it all up into a ponytail.
