Braided styles of all kinds are a great way to showcase gorgeous hair without the damaging effects of heat.

Welcome back to our series on heatless styles! In this second part, we'll guide you through achieving elegant and sophisticated looks without subjecting your hair to damaging heat. Say goodbye to hot tools and hello to effortless elegance with the Twisted Crown Braid.

Twisted Crown Braid

Ready to crown yourself (literally) the queen of effortless style? Say hello to the Twisted Crown Braid! It's that perfect blend of elegance and ease, like wearing your favorite tiara without any royal fuss. Whether you're off to conquer the day or just want to feel fancy while binge-watching Netflix, this hairstyle has your back (or rather, your head). You’ve probably seen some viral videos on this one too, and what’s so great about it is that it’s super simple to achieve but it looks like it took you hours. 

What You'll Need:

• Hairbrush
• Hair elastics
• Bobby pins
• Semi di Lino Sublime Essential Oil

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Start by brushing your hair to ensure it's smooth and tangle-free. If you’re looking for an extremely lightweight oil to add softness and brilliant shine, try a little of our Semi di Lino Sublime Essential Oil from mids to ends.
• Take a small section of hair from one side of your head near your ear and divide it into two equal parts.
• Twist these two sections around each other, crossing the front strand over the back strand.
• As you twist, gradually incorporate small sections of hair from along your hairline into each strand.
• Continue twisting and adding hair until you reach the nape of your neck on the opposite side of your head.
• Secure the twisted section with a hair elastic.
•  Repeat steps 2-6 on the other side of your head to create a second twisted section.
• Once both sides are twisted and secured, bring the two sections towards the back of your head.
• Cross the sections over each other to form a crown-like braid.
• Secure the ends of the twisted sections together at the back of your head using bobby pins.
• Gently tug on the edges of the braid to loosen it and create a softer, more voluminous look.
• Finish by smoothing down any flyaways with a bit of our brilliant Semi di Lino Sublime Cristalli Spray for lasting definition and shine. 

In addition to heatless styling, investing in a quality hair routine can help shield your hair from the damaging effects of heat over the long term. Our Semi di Lino Density line - a range specifically formulated to address thinning hair and promote healthy hair growth - is enriched with nourishing ingredients like Urban Defense Pro and Micro-Activated Pro-Complex.  These products work to strengthen and fortify the hair, making it more resilient to heat damage over time.
