How to properly prepare for a crown braid

The crown braid is a hairstyle that requires a bit of patience. Braiding requires a certain precision in the gestures for a perfect result. It is essential that the hair is well detangled. Do not hesitate to straighten your hair with a straightener or simply by blow-drying. Bring small hair elastics, preferably tone on tone or transparent. Prepare many flat hair clips. The crown braid is ideal done on a certain length of hair to give a successful headband effect.

First step:doing the braiding

To obtain a perfect crown braid, separate your hair into two equal parts on each side of the skull by drawing a straight parting. When you get two masses of hair on each shoulder, you can start braiding two braids by first grabbing the hair at the ears. Take your time to make the braids, they must be regular and very tight. Once the braiding is finished, tie the braid well using your small rubber bands. If you find yourself looking like Pocahontas, it's a good sign, your braiding is successful.

Second step:creating the crown

As its name suggests, the crown braid must come to rest on the top of the head to form a crown. To make the two braids made blend harmoniously into a crown and give you a queenly look, get plenty of flat hair clips. Position a first braid so as to surround the head. Once the braid is positioned, attach it using the hair clips. For the hairstyle to hold, you can also place clamps at the start of the braid. Then, bring the second braid over the one you just fixed so as to hide all the small clamps. Finally, tie this second braid, making sure to hide the clips. Your crown braid is ready.
