The crown rope braid is probably the easiest crown braid I’ve tried. The others crown braids I have made are: the dutch crown braid (actually what I did was more like a lace dutch crown braid), the flat crown braid with 4 strands (again the lace version of it) and the round crown braid with 4 strands (this seamed to me the most difficult I’ve tried). This might be an important reason to find this type of crown braid so easy…
Because it is a round braid I couldn’t hide the hanging part of the braid (I had the same problem with the round 4 stranded crown braid), so I made a rose bun and I was happy with the final result. I’ve also tried to hide the center of the crown, by combing more hair towards the back and I was again happy with how it turn out.
The technique used for this hairstyle is similar to the previous hairstyle – the asymmetric rope braid; except you have to go all the way round. It is a good hairstyle! You should try it!
This hairstyle is so difficult; it makes the regular crown braid to seam unbelievably easy. I’m guessing this is because for this type of crown braid I had to add hair from the both sides of the braid. When I make a regular crown braid or a four strands flat crown braid, I’m adding hair only from one side.
Again I used the second technique for 4 strands round braiding; it seamed to me easier to switch hands using this technique.
And because I realize it would be very difficult to tuck the ends, I didn’t. I just made a messy bun.
The best part is that – after trying this hairstyle – I’m able now to make a beautiful regular crown braid in less than 10 minutes and it seams to me simple.
That gives me hope!…
If you want you can read about this crown braid first to see what is in my mind when I say “crown braid”.
And I recommend to try this hairstyle only after you succeed to make the 3 strands crown braid and the asymmetric braid from the previous post.
It is a difficult hairstyle, but if you do these two hairstyles before you try this one, you’ll find it much easier. And it is a hairstyle that looks very pretty.
