What is a phoenix crown?
In Chinese is called "Fengguan(鳳冠)".
which means phoenix crown. It's a Chinese traditional headgear for women. Worn my noble women in the Ming Dynasty on ceremonies or special occasions.It's also the traditional headgear for brides too.
The phoenix crowns were created in Tang Dynasty until the Ming Dynasty.
The crown I'm wearing is more of the Ming Dynasty type of design. There are different phoenix crowns they change the designs over time.
Phoenix crowns were worn by Chinese empresses as a symbol of power. For Chinese weddings the phoenix crown represents the women and the red wedding dress also called" Cheongsam wedding dress", represents the dragon which is the men.

I will wear a cheongsam on another tutorial , I just wanted to focus on the phoenix crown this time.
With the purchase I got a free gift!
Feather hair clip!
I hope you all enjoyed the tutorial and learned something new!. I will be making hair tutorials , nail tutorials and fashion look books.
I been doing research on Youtube and to be honest I haven't seen tutorials or phoenix crown videos much on Youtube. Is like a video theme that hasn't been put out there much.
That's one of the reasons I want to make them because not many people have done it so is something different out there and on the internet specially Youtube to find something missing or barely there is unusual.
For those of you wondering I'm NOT getting married , I bought the phoenix crown because it's beautiful to me and something that no one in my family had at all. I also love the history and meaning of the phoenix crown too.
I'm very happy with my purchase , if you want to buy a phoenix crown for yourself I would recommend this seller.Very good costumer service responds quickly and the condition of everything was perfect.
Thank you for visiting!
