Half Up Crown Braid Tutorial On Natural Hair Ft. Mielle Organics Mongongo Line

The crown braid is the perfect look if you want to keep your hair out of your face but still let your curls hang down. You can do this look with French braids, fishtails, traditional braids, Dutch braids, or whatever your heart desires.

For an evenly distributed look, create a middle part and braid your hair along the crown on each part. The texture of your hair is already perfect for gripping hair, but, for added security, use a little gel, pomade, or product of your choice to keep your braids intact.

One of my personal favorite looks is the topknot. Curly hair can be a lot to deal with, and on days you’re a little too tired for the maintenance, the best thing you can do is simply throw it up in a topknot and move forward with your day. Not to mention, it just looks super cute.

I personally love it when a little bit of my curly texture shows through, so I just throw all of my hair on my head, twist it to the perfect texture, and tie it with an elastic.
