30 hair-dos in 30 days- Day 1 "Sunshine"

I've seen this done on a few other blogs and decided that I'd give it a shot. As I was trying to decide what to do for the big first day I noticed that she was wearing a shirt with a sun on it. I decided to go with that and try to figure out how to do a sun. I don't love it. I might attempt a different kind of sun another day, but I'm posting it anyway. It also took longer than I expected (about 25 minutes) so we were late for school. If I ever attempt this one again it will be on a non-school day.

This hairdo looks a lot better in real life than it does in pictures. I didn't take any pictures during the process because I was in a rush, so I'll try to explain without. I started by doing 7 small (like 2 inches) french braids around her head for the rays. Then I did a circle braid connecting each of those. I started with one in the back, braided it until it reached the next one, added the hair, braided until it reached the next, etc. When i got back to where I started I tucked the hair under the first braid and brought it to the center. Then I had a circle with a bunch of loose hair in the middle. I pulled that hair into a pony tail, braided it and did kind of a swirl/bun to fill in the circle.

This is the end result from the back.
