Step-by-step to create the crown braid of your dreams
Prep Hair
Prep your strands with a light hair oil that will tame flyaways and give you shine. Our current favorite is Love Beauty Planet Sandalwood & Grapeseed Natural Oils Infusion to achieve healthy looking hair.
Begin Braiding
Start at one side of your part and begin creating a Dutch braid. This braid is perfect when creating hairstyles for short curly hair because it adds volume to your style and helps manages those curls.
Make Your Braid Loose
Continue braiding down your hair even after you’ve finished creating the Dutch braid. Repeat on the other side. This style looks best when you pancake your braid for a loose and effortless effect.
Secure Your Braids
Finish the crown effect by pinning the ends of your braids up with bobby pins, This will give the effect that the braid goes all the way around your head and makes for a more sophisticated style. We love leaving baby hairs out for extra texture. You can tame them by using a little bit of Bed Head by TIGI Wax Stick so they stay in a chic position.
