Flat hair at the crown can make even the prettiest hairstyles fall short. If you’ve ever wished your hair looked fuller, thicker, or more lifted at the top, this hairstyle might be exactly what you need. The French braid combined with a playful top knot is more than just cute—it cleverly hides thinning areas and creates the illusion of extra volume. Better yet, it’s simple enough to master with a bit of practice, and once you’ve got it, you’ll want to share the trick with every friend who struggles with flat hair.
This look has been trending because it’s equal parts stylish and practical. People love it not only for everyday wear but also for special occasions where you want your hair to stand out without looking overdone. Many comments online echo the same sentiment: “It’s adorable, but I get lost after step two!” That’s why a clear breakdown makes all the difference.
Here’s the hand-in-hand guide:
Step 1. Start by parting your hair neatly down the middle, then section off a piece at the crown where the braid will begin.
Step 2. Begin a French braid, incorporating small strands from each side as you work upward toward the top of your head. Keep the braid tight at first to anchor the style.
