Thank you so much, everybody! I'll try my best to describe what I did to get this look:

First I made a "poof" at the crown of my head by gathering the top section of my hair and pinning it in place with criss-crossed bobby pins (a lot of bobby pins, until the poof was as permanent and high as I could get it!) Then I took a small section of hair from behind my ear and braided an English braid. I did the same thing on the other side. I brought one English braid up to the middle to cover the bobby pins holding my poof in place, and pinned this braid in place. I did the same thing with the other braid. Then I made loops and formed the braids into a bow. I still had a lot of the braid length left, so I made double loops with each braid. I put all the remaining hair into a low ponytail and made a low cinnamon bun. Then finally, I pinned the "tails" from my bow around the bun and the butterfly clips and pinned the braid ends under my bun.

I hope this makes sense!
