What Are Butterfly Crown Braids?

Butterfly crown braids is a braided hairstyle that combines Fulani braids with a sew in and a braided crown.

The front section of your hair, from the hairline to around your ears, is typically styled in Fulani braids. A braid is then created across the head from ear to ear, forming the crown and giving the style its signature regal feel. The back is finished with a sew in, leaving the hair flowing for a soft and glamorous look.

This style can be customised in so many ways to suit your personal style. The braided crown can be given a fuller, more textured finish, creating the soft and slightly undone look associated with butterfly braids. The sew in can also be styled to your preference, whether you want it straight or curly, short or long.

The result is a hairstyle that sits beautifully while still giving you plenty of texture and personality.

Why Are Butterfly Crown Braids So Popular?

There is something about butterfly crown braids that instantly makes a hairstyle feel special. Add the texture and volume of the braids in combination with the sew in and you have a look that can work for everything from everyday plans to occasions where your hair does all the talking.
