Elegant Updo Styling
A crown braid wraps around the head for a soft, elegant updo effect. It can be created with two braids pinned around the head or with one continuous braid shaped into a halo.
What You’ll Need
- Brush or comb
- Bobby pins
- Hair ties
- Light styling cream or spray
- Optional decorative pins
Prepare the Hair
- Brush the hair smooth and create a part if desired.
- Choose a continuous braid or two-braid method.
- Apply a small amount of styling product for control if needed.
How to Create a Crown Braid
- Separate the hair into two sections if using the two-braid method.
- Create one braid on each side and secure the ends.
- Lift one braid over the head and pin it in place.
- Wrap the second braid around the opposite side.
- Tuck the ends, pin securely, and adjust for softness.
Shape the Crown Gently
The style looks best when the braid sits comfortably and follows the shape of the head. Use enough pins to secure it without pulling away the softness.
