Braiding starts from the top of the head and gradually moves downward. At the end, the hair gets pinned and rolled up to form a bun at the center of the head.

The bun that is usually located at the crown, is decorated with beads and other accessories. Flowers were also used to decorate them. Although this hairstyle is especially meant for long hairs but women with short hairs could also make buns at the crown of the head.A ribbon is used to tie the short hair at the crown and then a three braided style is followed.

In case of very short hairs, artificial hair strands are added along with the ribbon and braided down with the natural hair. Pinning and rolling thebraided hair to the crown gives the desired look.
