A style of [[braid]] that loops around the back of the head.

Use [[half up half down braid]] instead if there's a visible tail hanging from the center of the loop. Use [[crown braid]] if the braid goes around the top of the head rather around than the back.

This style was previously mass tagged as [[french braid]]. Please note that a french braid is [[french_braided_ponytail|something else entirely]] and has been renamed to reflect this.
