Why do we love holidays so much?
Other than the obvious (all the delicious food that will be eaten), it's always a fun occasion to dress up, do your hair and makeup, and be all glammed up! In today's blog post, we collaborated with our beautiful friend Missy Sue to show you a really simple yet beautiful holiday hairstyle: the french braid crown.
This hairstyle looks intricate, yet consists of simple 2 french braids put together with a hair accessory. Missy also added a few wefts of her clip-in Dirty Blonde Luxy Hair extensions for extra length and volume - this is, of course, optional - but hair extensions make this hairstyle so much more dramatic because of that extra 'oomph'. If you're not too familiar with them, check out this blog post.

How to: French Braid Crown
- Part your hair as you desire - it can be a deep part, or a middle part.
- Start to french braid your hair on one side until you reach your ear. To learn how to french braid, check out this youtube video.
- Once you reach the ear, continue doing a regular three strand braid all the way down with a small section of hair, like this:
- Criss cross two bobby pins at the end of the braid, so that it doesn't unravel while you work on the other side, like so:
- Repeat the exact same step on the other side - french braid until the ear, then regular three strand braid all the way down.
- All is left to do is criss cross the two braids at the back, like a crown, add in your favorite accessory and you're done!
