step-by-step for a crown braid

1. Brush hair from the crown forward.
2. Beginning at the back nape area, create a Dutch braid.
3. Continue braiding all around the back.
4. Adjust your hand position, and continue braiding.
5. Finish braiding all the way around and braid the tail.
6. Starting with the tail, loosen the braid.
7. Loosen the main part of the braid to the desired size.
8. Tuck the tail up and under the braid and secure with bobby pins. Enjoy!

Notice the pattern of the braid. From the crown, take pie shaped partings, like a pinwheel, all the way around. This braid is very challenging to do on yourself because of the hand positioning. If you are having trouble doing it on yourself, trade with your friends and do it on each other!
