How to Create a Perfect Crown Braid

The crown braid technique requires medium to long hair and some practice, but creates a stunning, elegant style that's perfect for weddings and formal occasions.

✂️Create a deep side part and begin a Dutch braid at the hairline
💨Braid around the perimeter of your head, adding hair from the outside only
🪮Keep the braid close to the hairline, maintaining consistent tension
Continue braiding until you reach the starting point
👆Tuck the end of the braid under the beginning and secure with pins
🔸Gently tug on braid edges for a fuller, more relaxed appearance
Secure with hairspray and decorative pins if desired
