Crown braids are nothing new in the hairstyling world. They are known by many names like the 'milkmaid braid' and have been the go-to 'do for a simple, minimally chic look. But if you want to take the fabulous hairstyle up a notch, then what? You've come to the right place. If the crown braid is your hairdo of choice for an occasion, here's how you can give the classic braided hairstyle an upgrade in 5 ways.
1. Add In Feathers
Feathers don't just belong on Pocahontas - they can add a delightful bohemian touch to your hairstyle too. Choose small sized patterned feathers and tuck them within the plait at regular intervals. It's an especially cool look to try if you're headed to a music festival.
2. Sketch With Chalk
Prior to plaiting your crown braid, divide your hair into thin sections and start colouring with hair chalk. While you may not notice much at first, once tied in a crown braid, the intermingled colours of the chalked hair with serve as a vibrant accessory for your look.
3. Try a Backward Band
Thought that hair bands were to only be worn on the front? No, siree! When you have a crown braid, a headband embellished with flowers or rhinestones can be tucked perfectly well in the backward curve of the braid and add glamour to it with ease.
4. Flaunt Some Flower Power
Florals add a delicate touch to a look - and we aren't just talking about your outfit. When pinned within a crown braid, a few sprigs of dainty white buds can add a gorgeous feminine touch.
5. Just Pin It
Want to accessorize without the hassle of tucking and prodding? Then add a decorated pin to it. A matching set of pins on either side of your head will add oodles of styles to the braid simply without the hassle of too much hairstyling.
