Hey guys, so this is just going to be a quick and easy crochet braid tutorial. The first thing I'm going to do is start off with clean hair. I already parted my hair in the middle because I'm going to do a little part. So this is my break. A turn of I have a large perimeter braid on the left and one large perimeter braid on the right side. Okay, here you see my two small braids for my middle part: okay, I have seven braids at the bottom and seven braids at the top and two closer braids for my little part. So now I'm going to take my weaving needle and my weaving thread and sew. My braids down to look like this here you can see where I crisscross my closer braids. I do this because this is where I want my closure to end okay. So now I'm just going to take two packs of this deep twist braid and the color 1b and two text of this Barbadian Bridge braid and the color 1b and start to crochet that into my hair. Okay. So now I'm just going to take a piece of hair about this thing and begin to crocheted. So I let the hair onto the crochet hook close the hook, pull it through and then I pull the hair through once and then I pull it each wife. Then I put through one more time and then I tighten the knot it's a loose, so this is what the hair looks like when I'm halfway done. All I did was alternate UD twist braid and alternate it with the Barbadian braid. So this is what those two drills look like together. So now I'm going to do the same thing, but I'm going to use the color number four. I'M only going to use one pack of each braid this time instead of two packs like before, and as you can see, the number four is a lot lighter than the one B color, and this is what it looks like when I finish for saying that number Four color into my head, as you can see, there is a distinct difference and that's what I like about is that you can just see the different color and it gives it more dimension to the staff. Okay. So now I'm going to move on to my lightest color, which is GT 30 and itch nd, Barbadian brain and I'm just going to use that to work on my photo. So I'm just going to take a piece of hair and start to do the invisible part method on my clothes. This is also called a knotless method. I'M just going to take the hair through under my braids and instead of grabbing two pieces, I'm just going to grab one piece of the hair and pull it through the hole once I want it to be kind of tight. So I like to pull it through twice and then I tighten it and make sure that you're not is underneath my braids and pull the hair over my braids, so I'm going to do it again. All I do is push a the hair underneath my braids. I pull just one strand of hair through, so I pull one strand in one and then I pull that same strand through twice just so it could be kind of tight and then I tighten the knot at the root, and this is what it looks like once. You have poche, it teach you thirty into the middle part, and here you can see the distinct difference between the colors that I use, and this is what my middle part looks like. So now I'm just going to work on the front of my hair, I'm just trying to create you little like crazy pieces, so it doesn't look so empty in the front. I'M going to take a piece of the chichi 30 and just cut the color ends off, because I don't need the coloration. I just want the black part, and this is what you are left with. So I start off by crocheting the hair as closely to my hairline as possible, and I'm going to do the not least message right here as well, but instead of looping the hair through twice I'm just going to loop that one piece you want. So it's not too tight like that, and then that's what you're left with, and I just cut it to how long I want G and just maneuver it with a rat tail comb and to create this right here and also little pieces like that right there. All! I do is I do exactly what I just did create the shorter pieces, so I crocheted the hair through and I'm not at just one time, but instead of cutting it leave it. I just do it like that and I don't fit so this is the next morning. All I do to maintain the hair is cut it up and for Chucky twist like this, and all I do to unravel the twist is untwist them and then fluff them back out. So I can get some of that volume that that I lost when I was switching on the half-shell and that's it: okay, hey guys so um. This was just a basic well, I hope it was pretty basic, a basic crochet tutorial on fixing curls and mixing different colors, so um for this style. The curl patterns that I used was the bar baby frayed, and I also use DD twist. So I used heavy right now, so what I used? Okay, so I used two pegs of the 1b farm, a braid I used to beg for one BD twist. I used one patch of the number. Four, she twisted is one peg of the number for foundation brain and then one peg or half tangle three. So if you get that vision, so in that confused, you will go to list everything that used each color in trade pattern in description bar down below. One of the reasons why I like to mix CRO patterns and mixing color is because it gets it like more. Like dipped like the phrase to like the style, so it makes it a little more like you know like slowly, and it use it more like to mention another thing about. This look is that you're going to have to use how it uses these three in two colors, no less than Tunisian colors. Now we use no listen to do curls. The thing that I like about these two curls you switch in the Barbadian brain is that they look pretty similar um, and so you can't really tell that they're that different. But there still is that, like subtle difference about it, that you can and can see, what you kind of can't see is one thing that I like about it um as far as color. I would just make sure you keep it like the same family like so. If you brown it in the brown family, you do blonde, keep them plump and Lea black, keep it in the black darker Brown family. Oh, I ended up using in all. I ended up using 7x pear. It would have been eight before, like the closure bar. The part is like TT thirty, the latter part I only use, maybe about not even half today. This is just like how much hair I have left into TT thirty, but as far as doing other colors, I use out the hair up. If you want to try to stat how for yourself and you kind of want to get a similar result of, you are going to have to crochet the hair kind of tightly on top of each other. So another reason why I did decide to put this much hair in my head: crochet braids, to shrink on their own as you wear it and as you sleep on it and as you wear an extra money and we're gon na sleep on it, it's gon na Kinda like push together and kind of shrink on itself. So that's why I like a lot of hair so when it when it shrinks, it won't be so empty with me, because crochet braids shrink account looks empty and, like it's like to get soft hair, what you do is lose hair because the hair is on web. So it's easy to shade so for the closure I'm gon na Park closure and for the perimeter of my hair. I make sure that I did not dismiss dish or the crochet braids. I did. I try to show you guys what I did, but I didn't go into the depth of what I did because I feel like there's so many like tutorials on YouTube and YouTube watch the place this. You know it's saying they taught me how to crochet so yeah. I promise you with somebody out there. Let me show you the Dauntless fit the knot, this method better than a G, but I did try to show you guys this okay, so I am natural. So if you are natural sarees like a lot of hair to do with, but if you are natural protective sounds I like the best way to go and to me crochet braids are like the best to take this down, but just make sure you keep just make Sure that you just take care of your hair underneath, if you do try this style just have fun with it. Oh I've never dated more than three curls. So if you try and make a try to curl up, a trap for girls may be trapped by a curl, just fo the try, six different colors try. Four different color try anything because I feel like the more of a personal touch that you put on it. The more it's gon na make people say after this cute like I think I might rub it, because people like seeing things that are different. So if you do try this house that hair style, you can either try what I do, which is a lot of hair and three different colors to different brain patterns or each you try something else but yeah.

Sydney C.: I really like the fact that you used two hair textures, SEPARATED the curls, and fluffed them up! I hate when people put in crochet hair and leave the curls looking stiff, uniform, and tight. I know everybody hates frizziness but thats what makes the hair looks natural!! Nobody has perfectly formed curls from top to bottom...Very cute hairstyle!
John Girard: This mixing curl's an colors,an long length looks beautiful, Good job well done.
New New: Love it.. I love the volume, length, colors and the little short pieces in the front. I remember my first time doing this style on my daughter’s hair. My daughter’s hair came out so beautiful and she lovesit. Her hair grew so much from the protective styles. I’m % a crocheter for life and if your natural this is for you.
A'chynee Edmundson: I've been mixing textures for about 2 years now and I love it!! So much more natural looking when all the curls aren't exactly the same. This style looked amazing but I could never handle that much hair girl, you good! Another small tip is that when your crochet is getting older to the point where it's not the "good old" just add a few more new pieces to the front and cut any scraggly pieces. This'll refresh the look a little bit until you're ready to take it out.
angela read: I love how you alternated the different hair textures and colors. Beautiful!
Vida De Leon: Finally. I've seen some crochet mixes that looked questionable. Yours looks amazing!! Deep twist is my go to and I've always been skeptical about the Barbadian braid. I tried to look for the answer, but are you alternating every other crochet or using one pack entirely then switching to the other curl? Thanks in advance!
Missy Bugatti: I’ve watched several crochet braid vids but yours is the first one that shows in-depth footage of getting the hairline so perfect & snatched! It’s like you created baby hairs in the very front...TFS ❤️on my second crochet install I will do better
DearTaneshia: I love this. I’ve been curious how mixing these exact textures would look and I’m mesmerized. I wanted to try the deep twist but I also love the Barbadian texture too.

Favor: y’all I tried this hair out, I didn’t do the lightest color though, but it’s truly amazing . it’s heavy though, not gonna lie , but basically wrap it up with gel ( be careful ) because when I wrapped mine with gel I realized by like the end of the week I noticed the gel started to dry out creating white specs, meaning I had to wash it once a week, and the curls stayed .
