This hairstyle is so sweet, and also a fast one once you get the hang of the technique. I like the crazy, messy look!

Have two elastic bands handy. Brush and part the hair. A messy parting is fine! Form a side pony tail with your left hand. With the other hand, pull the tail through the elastic band until halfway, so it loops. Don't pull it through completely! Depending on the length of the hair, you can now secure the elastic band, or pull the hair through to form a second little loop.

Easy!! And this final photo is one of my favourites ever from Ava.
