Well we also say, "Hey, Hows it going" or something around the lines. That is probably the equal to saying "hi hi".
Maybe people started saying "bye bye" because the person who was at the other end may not have heard the one saying "bye" the first time. It might just be a way of being sure that the person heard you.
In most cases, someone is usually mad if you don't say 'bye' to them at a given event rather than saying 'hi' to them.

Because usually people have so much to say whenever they first see someone or talking to someone that they say Hi and continue on with what they are going to say. Although whenever we leave someone then we are going to miss them so bye bye adds another word in there to get the attention of the one being spoken so.

You know that it sounds very awkward to say 'hi hi' but 'bye bye' seems OK. The theory behind this is that while we are saying bye we usually arev not sure when we're goin' to meet the person again! So we say it a couple of times! Now you know it!
God Bless!

People normaly say bye or goodbye, if they say bye bye - it really means "get lost, leave already, sheesh!", but they are too polite to say it.
Hi Hi, we say hello or hi there, except if you are very happy to see the person.

When we're teaching children to speak, we repeat words: hi hi, say hi hi, and bye bye, say bye bye. Once you can speak, we only say hi and bye.

because hi is for the start of the meeting... and when everything is done... we say bye for the end of the meeting... all in all... for every hi hi... there is corresponding bye bye

haha. bye bye comes from GOODBYE. Which is actually a shortened form of God Be With Ye--it is standard in most languages to tell someone to go with god. In spanish it's ADIOS (Dios being God, naturally) and french is ADIEU (with Dieu being God).
