Required registry views

One style. Four viewpoints.

A single portrait can hide the taper, fade height, crown, weight line, or neckline. Every published Hairqut record must show the construction from the front, three-quarter, side, and rear. The recorded fashion white backdrop keeps the silhouette readable while preserving fine strand detail.

Long smooth-looking hair falls below the braid across the back; exact length, density, natural texture, layering, and end geometry are not established

Pins locate the reference evidence; the numbered notes make the request legible in the chair. This is an original Hairqut communication diagram, not a universal service prescription.

Provenance: The diagram uses locked canonical braided-crown-style publication views that mirror the formal package byte-for-byte. Semantic HTML and SVG overlays preserve approved pixels, child-safe presentation, and accessibility.

Reference result

A broad braided headband around the upper front and temples, an open centre crown, an above-ear path, a low rear arc, and long loose smooth-looking length.

Starting-state gate

A professional must assess current length, pattern and shrinkage, density by zone, strand support, hairline, scalp, condition, porosity, tangling, prior traction, sensory comfort, communication needs, routine, guardian consent, child assent, and budget before confirming the style.

Adaptation boundary

Braid width, height, path, scalp clearance, tension, rear joining, crown exposure, loose-length finish, and accessories must be adapted. Age, face shape, texture label, or density alone does not determine suitability.

Full specification · evidence graded

What is known, what must be assessed.

Every field is marked by its evidence boundary. “Unknown” is intentional: the registry never invents hidden technique, anatomy, timing, or price.

Construction

Technical specification

Canonical taxonomy: Style in the Braided family, canonically named Braided Crown Style with Loose Length; “crown” is a descriptive registry name and does not establish one braid tradition, origin, method, or cultural meaning.; Recorded
Front braid: A broad visible plait crosses the upper front and temples beneath an open centre crown field.; Visible
Side path: The braid travels rearward above the visible ear while long loose length falls beneath it.; Visible
Rear arc: The visible side braid paths form a broad low arc across the rear crown area.; Visible
Loose length: Long smooth-looking hair remains free below the braid across the sides and back; the lower perimeter is partly outside the frame.; Visible
Continuity and joining: The views do not prove one continuous braid, its start or end, joining point, overlap, anchor, pin, elastic, or hidden securement.; Unknown
Braid construction: Source sections, parting map, braid type, strand count, direction, hand position, grip, tension, scalp clearance, added hair, and sequence are not documented.; Unknown
Preparation and finish: Cleansing, detangling, stretching, blow-drying, heat, smoothing, control product, edge work, and flyaway finishing are not documented.; Unknown
Haircut geometry: No haircut weight line, elevation, guard, fade, taper, or neckline is established by this styling reference.; N/A
Cultural provenance: Braided headband and crown arrangements appear across many communities and periods; this fictional record does not establish a single cultural origin or authorize universal meaning.; Unknown

Adaptation

Hair and suitability

Visible reference finish: The views show a broad dark plait and long smooth-looking loose length, not verified natural texture, density, porosity, preparation, or added-hair status.; Visible
Pattern and shrinkage: Assess natural pattern by zone, shrinkage, stretch, reversion, frizz, grip, and daily fall; the finished pixels do not establish straight-to-wavy suitability.; Assess
Density, length, and strand support: Assess density by zone, usable length, strand diameter, scalp visibility, thinning, and support for the chosen braid width, path, anchor, and loose fall.; Assess
Hairline and scalp: Assess edges, temples, crown, nape, tenderness, lesions, flaking, bumps, thinning, traction history, ingredient sensitivity, and securement comfort.; Assess
Condition, porosity, and tangling: Assess absorption, dryness, elasticity, breakage, knots, matting, shedding, chemical and colour history, heat response, friction, buildup, and environmental exposure.; Assess
Current construction: Assess existing braids, extensions, elastics, pins, accessories, layers, breakage, tangling, product, and removal or preparation needs.; Assess
Child comfort and communication: Confirm guardian consent, the child’s assent, sensory needs, sitting tolerance, breaks, touch and sound preferences, stopping signals, school or activity constraints, and removal support.; Assess
Face and head shape: No universal suitability rule is supported. Personalize braid width, front height, crown exposure, above-ear path, rear arc, and loose-length placement to anatomy, hair support, comfort, preference, and consent.; Assess
Routine and environment: Confirm washing, drying, detangling, sleep, activity, headwear, climate, product feel, supervision, visits, mobility, time, and budget.; Assess
Continuous-view limitation: The four AI-derived views are consistent illustrations but do not prove one physical child, one continuous braid, identical sectioning, or a hidden one-to-one construction map.; Unknown

Service handoff

Booking service: girl_haircut
Appointment duration: Not specified in canonical evidence; confirm after length, pattern, density, condition, tangling, scalp, braid plan, child comfort, breaks, preparation, finish, removal, accessibility, and separately scoped additions are assessed.
Price: Not stored in this style record; the current booking service controls haircut price, while braid creation, added hair, accessories, extensive detangling, treatment, colour, heat styling, and removal require separate confirmation.

Do not promise unchanged

Do not promise long straight-to-wavy suitability, blunt healthy ends, one continuous braid, exact sectioning, or a fixed result from the finished images.
Do not use “snug” tension or continue through pain, pulling, headache, burning, marked redness, bumps, numbness, distress, or the child asking to stop; adjust, pause, or remove promptly.
Do not apply tension, pins, elastics, accessories, heat, or heavy product over active lesions, significant irritation, fragile edges, severe tangling, unexplained shedding, or compromised hair without appropriate assessment.
Do not assume braid type, strand count, direction, securement, added hair, product, heat, multi-day wear, or protective benefit from the finished views alone.
Do not imply that girl_haircut includes braid creation, added hair, accessories, extensive detangling, treatment, colour, heat styling, or removal; confirm scope, qualification, time, price, consent, and aftercare separately.
Do not proceed without guardian consent and the child’s assent, age-appropriate explanation, stopping signals, reasonable breaks, and safe supervision.

Evidence and governance

Source package: os/hairqut-styles/registry/entries/HQ-STYLE-000033-braided-crown-style

Asset relationship: All four canonical braided-crown-style publication images mirror the formal package byte-for-byte.

Generated media: The approved views depict a fictional AI-generated child. gpt-image-2 was requested through ChatGPT under conversation identifier conv:6a60fb43-95dc-83ea-b6df-7b903b723662, but the exact responding model and API request ids were not independently confirmed. The on-page diagram is a deterministic overlay on the locked views.

Privacy: No real child or customer photo, identity, scalp record, health record, school record, or biometric record is used in this Blueprint.

Booking handoff: The Blueprint links to the existing girl_haircut service; duration, price, availability, accessibility, braiding, added hair, accessories, detangling, treatment, colour, heat styling, and removal come from the current booking and consultation flow.

Consultation

Confirm braid path, scalp comfort, rear join, loose length, and child assent

Align on the broad front braid, open centre crown, above-ear path, low rear arc, and loose fall using all four approved views.
Assess current length, natural pattern and shrinkage, density, hairline and edges, scalp, condition, porosity, tangling, prior traction, sensory needs, sitting tolerance, and routine.
Agree on child-friendly language, guardian consent, the child’s assent, stopping signals, breaks, braid width, tension ceiling, securement, accessories, wear goal, and removal plan.
Separate the haircut mapping from braid creation, added hair, accessories, extensive detangling, treatment, colour, heat styling, and any additional service, including qualification, time, price, consent, and aftercare.

Care plan

Keep the intent, not a fixed schedule.

1
During installation and the first comfort check
Treat discomfort as actionable
Pain, pulling, headache, redness, bumps, numbness, distress, or the child asking to stop require prompt loosening, adjustment, pause, or removal.
2
When the braid path or securement changes
Review tension and anchors
Root growth, slipping, pins, elastics, accessories, activity, sleep, tangling, and scalp response determine whether to adjust or remove.
3
When loose length tangles or loses its agreed finish
Use the lowest-stress workable reset
Detangling, moisture, brushing, drying, heat, and friction control depend on pattern, porosity, condition, activity, access, and comfort.
4
Before rewearing or removing
Reassess scalp, hairline, and loose hair
Do not repeat or prolong the style through tenderness, bumps, redness, broken edges, matting, unexpected shedding, damp roots, or compromised hair.

Book with this Blueprint

Blueprint v1.2 · reviewed September 12, 2026. Four approved 1122x1402 child-safe views were hash-reconciled to the formal package, visually reviewed at original resolution, and annotated only where visible evidence supports the claim.

Canonical reference data

The source record behind the Blueprint.

These are the canonical attributes of the illustrated record. The Blueprint above translates them for a consultation; this section keeps the technical source explicit.

Visible structure: Broad braided headband around the upper front, temples, and rear arc; exact continuity is not proven
Loose length: Long smooth-looking fall remains below the braid; natural texture, density, and preparation are unverified
Comfort boundary: Tension, grip, securement, added hair, wear duration, and scalp response require assessment
Service boundary: Mapped to girl_haircut; braid creation, added hair, accessories, detangling, and extensive styling require separate confirmation

Style construction

Front/top: A broad braid crosses the upper front beneath an open smooth-looking centre crown field.
Sides: The braid travels above each visible ear with loose length falling beneath it.
Rear: The side braid paths appear to converge in a broad low rear arc; exact joining and securement are hidden.
Loose length: Long smooth-looking hair falls below the braid across the sides and back; exact length and perimeter are partly outside the crop.
Technique boundary: Source sections, braid type, strand count, feed direction, hand position, tension, added hair, pins, elastics, product, and preparation are not established by the finished views.
