Introduction
Crochet braids are a popular way to add length and volume to natural hair. With the use of human hair, you can achieve a more natural look that blends seamlessly with your own hair. In this tutorial, we will go over the basics of crochet braids with human hair, from choosing the right hair to installation and maintenance.
Choosing the Right Hair
When it comes to choosing the right human hair for crochet braids, you want to make sure you select hair that matches your natural hair texture and color. This will ensure that your crochet braids blend in seamlessly with your own hair. Look for hair that is labeled as “crochet friendly” or “braiding hair” as these types of hair are designed to be used for crochet braids.
Installation and Maintenance
The installation process for crochet braids with human hair is similar to that of traditional crochet braids. The only difference is that you will be using human hair instead of synthetic hair. To install the crochet braids, first braid your natural hair into cornrows. Then, using a crochet hook, loop the human hair through the cornrows, creating a knot at the base of each braid. Repeat this process until all of your hair is covered with the crochet braids. To maintain your crochet braids, be sure to wash them regularly with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. You can also use a leave-in conditioner to keep the hair soft and moisturized. Avoid using heavy oils or products that may weigh down the hair and cause it to become greasy.
