How to make Crown Braid Hairstyle

Black hair can have beautiful curls, but they are often too hard to handle. Let your natural beauty shine through with this fun look.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Comb
• Mirror
• Hair Elastic
• Hair Clips

1. Clean your hair thoroughly by shampooing and conditioning before you go for this braid style. This can be be done a night before or in the early morning. Washing hair makes them ready for styling and braiding.

2. Clip the hair from the top of your head up and out of the way. You need to work on the sides first. Take a piece of hair at ear level and comb it straight.

3. Now, plait the hair (take the right over the centre, then the left and repeat). As you do this pull the plait towards the back of your head.

4. When you get to the bottom of the plait, secure with a small hair elastic. Repeat this across your head. Once done, you are ready with the crown braid hairstyle.

Tips & Warnings

• This also looks great if you stop plaits half-way down. Put on an alice band or a bright headscarf to hide the elastics, then fluff out the rest of your curls. Bear in mind that some people have difficulty doing these braids by themselves. To make your work faster and easier; ask a friend to help you out.
• Make sure the hair is tangle free and long enough to braid.
