Crown braid
A braid wrapped around the head like a crown, or two plaits pinned across the top.
Also: halo braid, milkmaid braid
A crown braid circles the head like a crown. It can be a single French or Dutch braid worked around the head, or two ordinary braids pinned across the top, the version called milkmaid braids. Similar crowns are traditional in Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine and the Alps, and in Mexico, where braids woven with ribbon and wound around the head were worn by Frida Kahlo. It is a favourite style for weddings and summer.
