I’m back in Crochet Braids again! I’ve actually had these in for 10 days. I decided to use curly hair this time around because I wanted a different look. As usual, I washed and deep conditioned my hair in preparation for this style. I made the cornrows fairly large, and I secured them at the back of my hair with weaving thread.

I originally planned on using only the Freetress Bohemian hair, but I ran out of hair when I got to the front of my head. My Beauty Supply Store didn’t have any Bohemian left, so I opted for Waterwave to finish off the front section. They ended up blending very well. I was pleased. 🙂
I plan to keep these Crochet braids for approximately 12 more days. I don’t think that will be a problem, but we shall see.
Are you doing protective styling? How do you care for your hair underneath?
Until next time
Hey, i love it !!! I have been locking for crochet braids but i want a brown goldish color.. Also i want to mix the colors so it blends well, do you know where i can get it please
Thank you @glamtastic. I don’t think you’re misunderstanding. Even while protective styling you need to take care of your scalp, and also give your hair breaks. I never keep any style more than 6 weeks because by that time, my scalp needs to be thoroughly cleansed and I also don’t want to run the risk of matting. Especially for a style like Crochet braids where my hair is braided down and only spritzed and oiled, it’s necessary to remove them after a while to throughly moisturizing my hair as well. I honestly, don’t think that manipulating your hair every 22 days or even every 2 weeks is too much, at least that hasn’t been my experience.
Thank you so much. Sorry I missed your comment.
The style is really cute. I have a question though. How is this a protective style when it is kept for only 22 days? My understanding of a “protective” style is that it reduces the need to manipulate the hair often. Perhaps I’m confused on the meaning of “protective” styling. If I’m combing, braiding, pulling and working my hair often I’m not protecting it from style abuse. I’m just wondering
This looks darling!
Thank you so much 🙂
Really cute and you explained well … good job
Thank you! I just love Crochet braids!
Looks great!

did you soak in apple cider vinegar or you use it directly from the pack
Thank you. I used 3 packets of hair. To remove them I cut the bulk of the hair off and then undo my braids. The rest of the hair comes out then. I didn’t record a tutorial because I already had a similar one up, the only difference is the hair I used.
