01Preparing Your Hair

  • Start with clean, dry hair. It's easier to work with and will hold the braid better.
  • Brush your hair to remove any tangles or knots.
  • If your hair is slippery or difficult to work with, consider adding some texturizing spray or dry shampoo to give it more grip.

02Creating the Base

  • Part your hair in the middle to create two equal sections.
  • Pick up a small section of hair near your forehead and divide it into three equal strands.
  • Start braiding by crossing the right strand over the middle strand, then the left strand over the new middle strand.
  • Continue adding hair to the braid as you move towards the back of your head, following the natural curve of your hairline.
  • Once you reach the nape of your neck, stop adding hair and continue braiding a regular three-strand braid until you reach the end of your hair.
  • Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.

03Forming the Crown

  • Take the first braid and wrap it over the top of your head, positioning it like a crown.
  • Secure the braid using bobby pins, tucking them into the hair to hide them.
  • Take the second braid and wrap it over the top of your head in the opposite direction, meeting the end of the first braid.
  • Secure the second braid with bobby pins, making sure it blends seamlessly with the first one.
  • Hide any loose ends or unruly sections of hair by tucking them under the braids and securing them with bobby pins.

04Finishing Touches

  • Use a lightweight hairspray to set the crown braid in place and prevent any flyaways.
  • Gently tug on the braid to loosen it and give it a more voluminous and effortless look.
  • Add hair accessories, such as flowers, beads, or decorative pins, to enhance the crown-like appearance.
  • Double-check the mirror to ensure the braid is secure and symmetrical from all angles.
  • Enjoy your stunning crown braid and embrace your inner queen!
