I saw this style on "So You Think You Can Dance" last season, and have been filing it away. This is a great one for your girls who have short hair, since you can modify the twist braid on the side into just another ponytail. Puffy braids are always super for short hair, especially since there's so much variety when doing them. (This also works great for long hair too!)
I started with a side part in the front to the crown, and then combed back the rest of her hair and clipped it off so it wouldn't get pulled in to any of the puffy braids. And of course, her hair is damp!
On the larger side of the part, I made two small ponytails, about an inch wide and deep.
The next section down, I made three ponytail sections, splitting the first two in half and joining them in the middle.
On the next row, I did two ponytails again, making the same size as the first row, and split the middle ponytail again and joined them.
Once I got to this point, I resprayed the hair remaining, prepping it for a twist braid. This is where you can rejoin the two ponytails into just one, if you have shorter hair to work with, or leave it. Do whatever you think looks best according to the hair you have left.
I decided to do a
twist braid with the two remaining sections.
I round brushed the back of her hair.
And she's done! Be sure to check back tomorrow! It's my day to be SITS!!! Hurray!!
