Based on the provided reference, the process described for creating a crown braid involves securing the hair with elastics and bobby pins.
Here's a breakdown of the steps (inferred from the provided excerpt):
- Braid: Create a braid (the excerpt refers to a "Crown Braid," but doesn't detail how to initially braid).
- Secure with Elastic: Tie off the end of the braid with a clear elastic.
- Use Bobby Pins: Use bobby pins (specifically "meta grip pins" are mentioned) with the flat side on top, presumably to secure the braid in the "crown" shape around the head. These pins can be purchased at Sally's or on Amazon.
