My Newfound Love for Crochet Hair
As someone who loves experimenting with different hairstyles, I recently discovered the magic of crochet hair, and I must say, it has quickly become one of my favourite styling methods! Over the last year, I’ve been rocking a range of crochet hairstyles, including goddess braids in red and blonde, and butterfly locs in black. These styles not only look fabulous, but they’ve also made my life so much easier. Here’s why I’m so excited about crochet hair and how you can get started with this versatile styling technique.
What Makes Crochet Hair So Special?
-
Convenience and Ease: Crochet hair is perfect for those who lead a busy lifestyle. With crochet styles, I can simply wake up and go about my day without spending extra time fussing with my hair. I don't need to worry about blending my natural hair with the weave or making sure the lace on a wig is not showing.
-
Flexibility in Length and Style: One of the biggest advantages of crochet hair is the flexibility it offers. Since my natural hair is long, traditional braids often need to be quite long to blend in seamlessly. However, with crochet styles, I have complete control over the length and texture of the hair. Whether I want short, sassy curls or long, flowing goddess braids, the choice is mine!
-
Quick Installation: Crochet styles are much quicker to install compared to traditional braiding. This not only saves me time but also reduces the strain on my scalp, making it a more comfortable option.
How to Achieve a Crochet Hairstyle
If you’re new to crochet hair and want to give it a try, here’s a simple guide to help you get started:
- Prepare Your Natural Hair: Start with clean, well-moisturized hair. You can braid your hair in small cornrows or a pattern of your choice. This will serve as the base for your crochet hair.
- Select Your Crochet Hair: Choose the type, length, and color of crochet hair you want to use. There are endless options, from curly and wavy textures to straight and braided styles.
- Install the Crochet Hair: Using a crochet needle, loop the hair through the base of your cornrow and secure it with a knot. Repeat this process until your entire head is covered. Make sure to space out the hair evenly for a full, balanced look.
- Maintain Your Style: To keep your crochet hair looking fresh, sleep with a satin bonnet or pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangling. You can also lightly mist your hair with a leave-in conditioner or hair spray to maintain shine and softness.
Why You Should Try Crochet Hair
If you haven’t yet experienced the joys of crochet hair, I highly recommend giving it a try. The variety of styles, the convenience, and the freedom to express your creativity make crochet hair a game-changer in the world of hairstyling. Plus, it’s a great protective style that helps keep your natural hair healthy and strong.
