Crown Braids

{LARGE DUTCH BRAID all around the perimeter of my head :) Beautifully plaited by my fave hairdresser; Rachel from Muse here in Sydney}

A crown braid can serve two great purposes; 1) it tidies up hair that is otherwise scraggly, and 2) pretty much amps up the pretty girly factor without looking like you really tried. Here's some crown braid inspo for your special occasions, cafe hanging or simply clowning around moments at home.

LARGE LOOSE BRAID via OnceWed / WATERFALL BRAID via OnceWed / HALO BRAID via Wedding Chicks - (All wonderful tutorials!!)

Are you feeling a bit game-of-thrones-esque now? I love that show! Whether you french or dutch or fish plait the braid or just normal plait, have a single braid or double wrap your head, folding a braid around the crown of your head is always flattering. Beautiful!
Also here's a little girl inspo :)
