Before Valentines Day comes and goes I wanted to share with you this super easy braided updo.  If you can braid — you can do this hairstyle.  I love how elegant it is and there are so many variations you could make using the technique.  I loved seeing your pictures of the crown braid, so many of you snapped me or tagged me on instagram and I LOVED seeing how gorgeous all of you looked!  If you decide to give this one a try, I wanna see!  And let me know what variations you play around with, who would have thought a banana clip of all things!

Option #2, instead of braiding it around the nape of the neck, you just braid it straight down the middle!

  1. ok, so u don’t need extensions but u need some antique banana clip!? well I am going to enjoy looking for this thin from what the 80s!

  2. I didn’t have a banana clip like you do, but decided to try it using the bobby pin technique you use in your faux hawk braid tutorial. It worked great! So don’t let the lack of a banana clip stop you!
