Crochet Braids
Crochet braids are an enduring protective hairstyle suitable for nearly all natural hair types, ranging from crochet locs and passion twists to chic bobs or an edgy side-swept swags. Additionally, this style allows you to experiment with wavy extensions without risking heat damage to your locks.
To achieve this look, divide your strands into three sections before beginning braiding them. After creating braids on the front of your head, move on braiding the back and around your ears before tying into an updo for an updo look.
For maximum longevity of crochet braids, be sure to use a co-washing conditioner and detangling creme when washing them. TastePINK offers an excellent video tutorial on how to do this – following their advice can keep braids soft and tang-free! This tip must be followed because failing this can make your crochet braids quickly tangled or brittle and start to shed shortly after that.
Crochet Twists
Crochet twists are a popular crochet hairstyle created from synthetic or human hair looped through natural braids to form a protective style. Although this technique requires more skill than straight and curly styles, the finished result looks vibrant and full of life – perfect for those who don’t wish to extend the growth cycle of their natural locks, yet still want length and volume in their locks!
To create a crochet twist, take one of your existing cornrows off of your head and position its base knot directly in front. Next, develop stitches – we used single crochet here, but double or triple crochet will produce even better results!
YouTube provides plenty of videos on how to create crochet hairstyles like these wavy crochet twists, making Outre X-impressions hair popular with vloggers since it is easy to work with, looks natural, and comes separated into looped pieces for faster installation processes. Janet Collection and Freetress products have also proven reliable options for many vloggers.
Crochet Extensions
Crochet extensions offer an effective solution for creating braided styles without damaging natural hair. Available in various lengths, textures, and colors – not to mention styles such as box braids, passion twists, or bantu knots – crochet extensions let you achieve that desired braided effect quickly without damaging your natural locks.
Curly crochets provide volume and texture to your strands and endless styling possibilities ranging from loose to kinky. If you want an irreverently carefree look, try creating a wavy crochet style with a center-parted bob.
Are you searching for a bold, eye-catching look? Dyed crochets may provide the answer! With dyed crochets, your dream of having purple, pink, or blue locks without bleaching damage and coloring damage can become a reality without damaging your natural locks through bleaching and coloring processes.
Crochet Yarn
Whether you are new or experienced at crochet, selecting the ideal yarn is critical for successful projects. With many types of yarn to choose from and each having unique appearance and characteristics, selecting one that best meets your project requirements can be daunting, but selecting an excellent thread should never be underestimated!
Wool and cotton yarn are two popular yarn choices for beginners, while acrylic yarn is more versatile and suitable. There are even cruelty-free yarn options for those wanting to avoid animal products altogether.
