Double Crown Braid With Donut Bun Tutorial

Remember this double crown braid with donut bun hairstyle that was featured in our Braiding Is Art Center Stage Post? (There are many more adorable hairstyles in that post, be sure to take a look). Several people asked for a tutorial on the style and Cynthia the hairstylist behind Braiding is Art was generous enough to provide us with a video tutorial on the double crown braid with donut bun hairstyle, which you can find below. I’ve also created a step by step how to with photo’s below as well.

Items needed for this style include:

-Hairbrush
-Rat tail comb
-Rubber bands
-Bobbie pins
-Hair Clip
-Hair Tie
-Styling / Holding Product of choice
-Sock bun / donut bun styler

Step by Step How To:

Step 1: Part out a circle and tie of the middle section of hair
Step 2: Create a French braid around the crown, only adding hair from the bottom side
Step 3: Continue braiding around the crown, tuck the loose/end of the braid into the French braid, secure it with pins
Step 4: Part out a second circle, put the center section of hair in a pony tail (this will be your donut bun)
Step 5: Place the donut bun / sock bun around the pony tail
Step 6: Cover the donut with hair leaving a section of hair out (you will add this hair to the second French braid)
Step 7: Begin French braiding the remaining loose hair
Step 8: Continue French braiding, adding in the hair coming from the center of the sock bun
Step 9: Keep braiding, then tuck the loose braid into the French braid and secure it with pins
Step 10: All done! Use your styling product for smoothing any fly aways
