We adore a pretty crown braid—it's a super stylish ways to keep your hair out of your face for day! :) Today Katie is showing off how to style a classic crown braid in the back of your head. This is a fun to way to change up your pretty braids—and you could tuck some little flowers in the back of this braid for an ultra spring look!
1. Start with a large section (about 1/3 of your hair) in the back on one side of your head. 2. Begin french braiding this section, adding more hair as you braid around the back. 3. Continue french braiding until you have incorporated all of your hair. 4. Finish braiding your hair and tie off. 5. Fold your hair in half and tuck up into your french braid. (This step will vary depending on how much hair you have to tuck!). 6. Pin the tucked hair in place and style any loose strands.
Thanks so much Katie for sharing this classic look with us! xo. elsie and emma

I tried it! In the end it turned into a side pony because my hair was too thick to tuck under... BUT, that was really cool too because it was a side pony in which the hair didn't fall out!!!
