Hey guys. I hope all is well. I decided to try something new. Well its not really new but its new to my natural hair. I decided to do crochet braids as my newest protective style. I had my hair done in this style back in college but it was on my relaxed hair. Most recently I felt like I was in a rut with my hair. I have been trying to think of something different to do other than the braids I have been rocking. I searched on youtube and found a lot of people doing crochet braids. They seemed simple enough so I went for it.
The supplies I used were:
A crochet needle or latch hook tool
2 bags of Freetress Bohemian Braid Bulk hair
Gel
Needle and Thread (to closed the braids)
So I started off with freshly washed and blown out hair. I braid my hair to the scalp. I think I had about 8 braids total. I used youtube to perfect the crochet technique. Its basically using the latch hook tool to crochet the synthetic hair into the braids to create a nice protective style. The crochet braids are a great way to keep you hair tucked away for awhile. Since your hair is in braids there is no need for manipulation. I plan on leaving this style in for about a month and then I am going to try it again. We shall see how this goes.
Smooches!!
