I didn't really have a plan with this style and wasn't intending to make it a post, but it turned out kinda cute and funky so here are the pics of her hair all finished:
To start this hairstyle, divide the hair in half horizontally at the crown. Next I divided the top in half and did 5 little ponies across the front of her head. I used diamond shaped parts to spice it up a bit.In the second section I put in three little ponies and then the fun parts start. Unfortunately I didn't do step by step, but if you look closely at the pics you should be able to see what I did.
In the front centre pony I did a twist braid and held it at the back centre pony with a clip. On each side I did a double cross/twist thingy and attached the two front middle ponies to the twist and back pony with an elastic. The sides were put together.
Next I twist braided the middle pony down as far as her hair would let me and put in an elastic. Then I took the two sides and twisted them together as far down as I could (this left me with two twists on top of each other). Now I twisted those twist braids together and secured them with an elastic. I covered the elastic with just a small clip. Back view of the twists:

Simply Sweet Summer Hair
We don't always pull all of Kenz's hair up, although it may seem that way sometimes. This do only uses about half or a third of her hair and is a really cute princess crown do that is quick and easy.
Start by parting out a circle on top of the head and parting that into 6 or 8 or 10 parts, however many works for you.

Twist and Shout

This is a fun and easy style to do, and it's great for summer because it keeps hair up and off the neck/face/shoulders.
To begin part the hair down the middle front to back and pull 1 side out of the way while you work.
Take the half that you are working with and divide into sections going back. If you are trying to keep bangs off of a face like I am you can pull the first section with bangs directly into the next section.
Take the front section and start twisting until you are past the next elastic.
Add the twist into the next elastic and comb out the hair.
Continue all the way back on both side so you have two sets of twist braids. Ta Da!
View from top front so you can see that I took her bangs directly to the second section without twisting them.
