I call this hairstyle Braided Headband. I got the idea from this blog for shorter hair styles and here is the original idea that I tweeked a little.
See how happy she is when I fix her hair?
I started with an off center part and did the braided headband down both sides of her head. 
Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo that showed her side part. In the top 2 photos, her side part is at the top of each picture and virtually impossible to see, but you get the idea, right?
I wasn't sure how I wanted to end the style, but I knew I didn't want to end it like the original does, with all the hair in the middle of hear head out and curled. Marley was going to school this day and I wanted it tight and neat. So, I parted the hair down the center of her head, from the top of the headband to the nape of her neck.
Then, I just did a low braid and wrapped it around the last pony/elastic of the headband on the same side. I secured it by just wrapping an elastic around the whole wrapped ponytail. Since she has naturally curly hair, I didn't need to take a curling iron to it, but I would have otherwise. The 3rd picture shows how I wrapped the braid around the last elastic of the braided headband a little better than this one.

This looks awesome! You have got the hair-fixing down! The longest my girls will last is maybe a half hour, but usually it takes me about 15 minutes to do something cute. Do you have problems with breakage? My girls have such fine hair that we get a lot of broken hairs...the downside of the lattice and other cute styles.
And Happy Birthday to Christopher a few days ago! Sorry that I didn't email you on his big day...but I didn't forget! Can't believe he is already 6!!
