Looks We Love

 One of our favorite looks lately is the braided crown, and Kourtney Kardashian knows how to rock it for any occasion. This look works best on long hair but a version can be created for those with shorter locks.


How to achieve this look: 
Start by softly teasing the crown area for a more voluminous top. 
Next, create two french braids coming from either side of your part and split halfway down the back of head, keeping the braid close to your scalp. Braid entire section down to your ends and secure with a thin hair tie. Repeat on other side. Wrap the ends of the two braids in opposite directions around your head by your hairline in the front and back, forming a crown-like shape. Secure the crown by pinning the ends of the braids behind your ears. 

For short hair: 
A version of this can be great for shorter styles. Create a braided headband that does not cover the back of your head by starting on only one side of your head and creating a french braid with all the hair in front of your ear that stays close to your scalp and is secured behind your other ear.

* Stylist Tip* 
For either looks- If you have bangs or a fringe, start braids directly behind them. Also leave out a few wisps of hair in front of your ears for a more whimsical feel to your style.
