QuestionMy hair is waist length. Is that too long for me to make a crown braid?Community AnswerJust keep wrapping it around your head. You'll need quite a few hairpins, but you'll be fine.
-
QuestionCan you do this without doing an inside-outside French braid?Community AnswerYes. Just do two normal braids (plaits) on either side of your head and cross them over the top or the back of your head and secure. This just won't look quite as impressive as French or Dutch plaiting, though.
-
QuestionCould you still do a crown braid with shoulder-length hair?Community AnswerYes, as long as you do a braid on each side of the head and pin it directly in the middle. Also, you might want to tease your hair a bit to give it more volume since you won't be able to wrap it around as much.

QuestionHow long does it take to do the crown braid on average?Community AnswerIt depends on how long your hair is. I have hair a little longer than my shoulders and it takes me 30 minutes to do, but I have been doing this hairstyle for some time now, so I have mastered it.
-
QuestionWill it still look nice on dark brown hair?Community AnswerOf course! This hairstyle will work well with any hair color.
-
QuestionIs there an easier way to do this?Community AnswerPart your hair into two sides, take a small piece from the top and split it in two. Put the bottom piece over the top. After this, add a piece of hair to the bottom piece and then go over the top. This is all you need to do around your head!

QuestionCan I do this and end it in a bun?Community AnswerYes, you sure can!

-
QuestionIs this similar to a Dutch braid?Community AnswerYes, a little bit. The basic braiding skills needed are pretty much the same as for a Dutch braid, so it is the foundation of the whole hairstyle.
-
QuestionDo I need long hair?Community AnswerYou need at least shoulder-length hair to do this. Anything shorter would make it too difficult.
-
QuestionCan I do it with a French braid instead of Dutch?Community AnswerYes, absolutely, whichever you desire. This works for either method. Just be sure to separate the hair into two parts, and then splits those two parts into three.
