Okay, so I have my mom braid, my hair and 12-story corn rolls going back. She paired six of them into three, just in case I wanted to play around with the parts to crochet the hair in. I took a piece of weave and wrapped it around my index finger. I opened the latch on the crochet tool, slid it under clip the weave around the crochet tool. Close the latch slid the weave under the braid. I unhook the weave by opening the latch on the crochet tool on the right side of the braid. I twisted the weave and pulled the weave on the left side through and then I repeated the process on the other side, just to make sure that the hair is secure and then I create the knot and I pretty much just just to make sure it's tight. I just kind of tug on the hair, just a little FYI spaced out the weave in the back, because it is easy to get full. But whenever you start to crochet in the front, you want to make sure that the pieces are smaller so that you are covering up the braids to make it look a bit more believable. So now I'm brushing out my weave and I'm getting ready to braid my hair and I'm doing bigger braids. I did about, I think, like 12. I can't remember any count and all I'm doing is uh knotting. The ends of my hair and all you had to do is take some water. There'S no water in this cup, but you're gon na probably need someone to help you in the back and even in the front. Just just for like safety reasons. You want to hold your hair in the hot water for about 15 to 20 seconds and have a towel handy, because the water is going to drip. I waited for about five to ten minutes before I decided to take down the braids and I separated the hair where it was naturally coming apart and I fluffed and kind of shaped my hair um to my liking. I did cut some of the back of the hair just to give it some shape. I hope you guys liked the tutorial um it's my first time getting a full head of hair in a while and I'm loving it. This is going to be something I'm going to be wearing quite often as a protective style. Let me know down below if you guys are crocheting it up and how you styled it. I love you guys, and I will see you next. Video

Mur Bonn: Your crochet hair looks great. You styled it well. Hard to believe that it's your first time. Beautiful job! -My sis introduced me to her crochet braids and I decided to give it a try.

Kemoy Jemmott: Hi! So I'm going to try some crochet twist for the first time and I'm having some issues with the braiding pattern. Yours seems simple enough, but how do you handle crocheting around the braids at the back of your head that are thicker? Accepting advice from anyone! Thank you , this was a very helpful tutorial. !
Déjah King: WOW, I love this. My hair is breaking really badly and I need a protective style to give my hair a break. I was desperately looking for a style besides just wearing a bun. It looks like I've found my answer. Thank you very much.

Presh: Your hair looks gorgeous. I have tried the crochet styles once before but I had to re-dip the hair every few days which was not ideal. How long does your definition last before you have to re-braid/re-dip?
Loren: I love this style! But I always wondered why they are called crochet braids now back in the day they were latch hooks. You did a good job!
It's CRYSTAL!: This is just such a pretty style! One day I'll get the patience to do it on myself (a shame I know, as I am a licensed Stylist hahaa). Thanks for sharing.
AliciaFromTheFarAwayPlace: I really liked that you knotted the ends. I'm definitely going to try that.
C Love Beauty: Beautiful(I see those early grays in ur braids)...love the protective and convenient style.
Gabrielle Artis: i've had so many issues with crocheting & the whole flexi/perm rod process...i can never get the curls to look like everyone else's and it's so discouraging! but this gave me hope! braiding it w/ the hanging bantus looks so much easier...i'm def gonna try this soon. Thank you so much!
Bossladi28: I have done crochet braids on my niece 3 times using the silkier hair, but I love the hair you used because it looks more natural. I have been thinking about doing them on my hair since I did my nieces hair but have been scard to do my own, but after seeing you do this using the cubin hair an looking more natural I think I will go ahead an do it.
Tammie Terrell: Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Trying this on my daughter's hair.
Chayil McMullan: I've done 2 crotchets with Marley braid hair already. And i love the look of it. I use perm rods on my weave , but there is a problem with that. my curls never seem to stay up. after a whole day of hair movement and such, my curls fall. I've tried pineapple-ing my hair , it doesn't work. Ive tried low-bunning it while i sleep. it doesn't work. i just want to know to to keep my hair up, without having to re-do it every night. Any suggestions?
xclusive227: luv it.....havnt crochet yet, but you just motivated me to do so...it looks so good on you..
Cemea Cayenne: i love it, and I will do mine!
