Rapper Iggy Azalea wore a braided crown created by celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen for her appearance at the 2015 Grammys last night that some have compared to challah bread.
"I've always been a fan of braids, and they are such a trend right now," Stephen says. "Iggy wears braids so well and she likes to wear her hair up and away from her face - especially while performing. So, I wanted to give her something fun and easy. When I saw her dress for the Grammys, I thought it was beautiful. The silhouette was classic, and I felt going with a classic updo would have been very predictable. I wanted to give her a young vibe with a sprinkle of edge, for a memorable moment."
STEP 1: Part the hair in two even sections.
STEP 2: Cornrow both sides of the hair, starting from the nape of the head. On you fingertips use a pomade, like Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade for a sleek finish.
STEP 3: Secure each braids with rubber bands.
STEP 4: Pull each segment of the braid beginning at the bottom to loosen and puff the braids.
STEP 5: Next overlap the two braid to join them and pin to keep in place.
STEP 6: To finish, spray with Motions Light working spritz.
