The Infamous Braid Crown With A Modern-day Twist!

Yesterday I was feeling motivated to create! I started dinner, and styled a modern-day braid crown on myself!

The braid crown was popular way before the 1920's, but became extremely popular in America around that time. Starlets wore it; everyone from singers, to dancers, actresses, and performers wore this epic hairstyle.

My favorite looks are from the 1940's era. Even as of today this hairdo is popular, and there has always been many beautiful variations of it.

I did a contemporary modern-day look using my braid crown I purchased to style my wedding day look. I'll used DAX haircare products to create the style, and a braid crown from Amazon.

"Pinterest inspirational quotes like to tell us that your hair is the crown you never take off, but the crown braid is a truly regal look. With noble origins in Ancient Rome, where it was only allowed to be worn by women of a certain status, the crown braid was also a practical styling solution for hair that was both long and largely unwashed. The crown braid was a favourite in Medieval and Byzantine times when women were expected to grow their hair long as a sign of status, but wearing it loose was verboten; increasingly intricate and detailed braided styles provided a way to showcase the length and luxurious quality of the hair, without any scandalous side effects. To top things off, literally, noble women would be expected to cover up their braided hair in public lest they be confused with witches."
