My First Successful Crown Braid! (Pics!!)

[A. Correira]

So, I had been trying for months... pretty much since my hair reached APL to try this... now that it is so close to BSL, it was super easy!
I was so proud that this was my first attempt today at it and it was one continuous braid!!!

Wow! thats looks so awesome on you, i'm jealous of your no taper. It's my favorite style.

Thank you! It started out pretty thin until I got all/ most of my hair in it. There was a slight taper at the end, but that was able to be tucked in.

[palaeoqueen]

Very nice, I'm impressed!

[oktobergoud]

[embee]

Very nice! You did a good job. :)

[winship2]

Looks great!!! I wanna learn to do this!!

[faellen]

Really beautiful, well done! You've inspired me to try it :)

However you do appear to be upside down! (Or is that only happening for me, lol) :p

[Nebulae]

Wow, that's so pretty and so thick! Well done :D

[joflakes]

Aww, that looks lovely! Well done!

[A. Correira]

Really beautiful, well done! You've inspired me to try it :)

Haha.... Well, some of the pictures were taken as odd angles.... so maybe it's not just you.

[rock007junkie]

Great job! I love how thick it looks.

[Earelia]

Very nice! The ones I attempt on myself and others are so sad and sloppy. -_-

[Angelica]

Really nicely done, your braid looks very thick. I am impressed. When I do it in my hair it is rather pathetic, too thin.

[neko_kawaii]

Congratulations! Very well done.

[meishkamooshka]

It looks wonderful! Congratulations and great job!

[gracenotes]

That looks beautiful! Crown braids are tricky but it's SO rewarding when you finally figure them out!

[MintChocChip]

Ooooh, it looks so nice! :)

[RedBlue]

That is one sweet crown braid! What method did you try? I recently got crown braids down, too, but mine are not suitable for public viewing yet, so I will wear them to sleep!

[MaryO]

Awesome, well done! The picture of your braid from the back looks impressively thick!

[missfaroe]

Very impressive! It is beautifully done and your braid looks so thick! :applause:thumbsup:

[Zesty]

That looks great! Crown braids can be so tricky, but you nailed it!

I just kinda started a Dutch braid where my part usually is and did a French Dutch braid around my head until I ran out of hair to add and then braided and little tail. I then tucked the tail into the braid. It was pretty easy. Haha. I've seen other methods where people use two braids, but I like this one better. I like one continuous braid; there is less pinning that has to be done.

[lunalocks]

This is, just, beautiful!

[sisi33]

Congratulations on your success! Very pretty!

[Neecola]

How lovely ~ thanks for sharing!

[getoffmyskittle]

It looks great! :)

[airmid]

So beautiful! Crown braids are such an elegant style. :)

[spidermom]

That looks great!

[Sharysa]

Congratulations! It looks awesome!

My hair is way too thick to do a crown braid, even at mid-back length. Sadface.

[anitacs9101]

Yayy! Wish I could do it lol!

[Dziip]

Congratulations !!!! You're a skilled crown braider :)
