How To Do A Crown Braid
A Crown braid is a beautiful and elegant hairstyle that can be done in several ways. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a basic crown braid:
You’ll need:
- A brush
- A comb
- Hair elastics
- Bobby pins
- Hairspray
Step 1: Start with clean and brushed hair. You can use a brush to smooth out any tangles.
Step 2: Divide your hair into two equal sections, using a comb. Part your hair down the center of your head, from your forehead to the nape of your neck.
Step 3: Take one section of hair and braid it. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 with the other section of hair.
Step 5: Take the left braid and pull it up and over your head, placing it on top of your head like a crown. Pin it in place using bobby pins.
Step 6: Repeat Step 5 with the right braid, tucking the end under the left braid and pinning it in place.
Step 7: Use bobby pins to secure any loose strands or flyaways.
Step 8: Finish with hairspray to hold the style in place.
You can also add more details to your crown braid, such as twisting the braids together or adding flowers or other hair accessories for a more decorative look. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying until you get the desired look.
