I used four packs of free tres equals 16-inch Cuban twist in the color number four, along with one pack of jannat collections, afro Marley, braid, m4, 27 mix and for the first process. I wanted to use bio silks thickening conditioner, because I do not like to manipulate or detangle on a dry medium, so I'm applying a generous amount of the conditioner le hair, and this just helps to create slip. As I am maneuvering my fingers throughout the hair and notice that I kept the elastic band at the halfway point - and this helps to contain the hair during this process for the next step will be clarifying. Now you can use whatever shampoo you like, I'm, showing a less expensive option and a more high-end option, and I'm just going to use this moisturizing shampoo by Fekkai. And I think that this is a great step to employ, especially with packaged here, because you want to make sure that you remove any residual dirt, grime or residue that may have accumulated during the packaging manufacturing or shipment process. And, as you can see, I'm immersing the hair in the water and I just added room-temperature water. It should be more of a coolness versus a warmth to the water because we do not want to add any unnecessary heat just yet and under flowing water. I am going to use a motion where I just take my hands straight down the length of the hair to clear out the shampoo. Now, in my previous marley crochet tutorial, i used to lea widgets curly curl cream, but today I'm using Fantasia's high-potency, intercellular, hair polishes styling foam, because I absolutely love this product and I've been raving about it since - and this is the cold wave rod that I'm talking About just focus on the color versus the brand by the purple brand. Just listen to me, girl, I'm saving you, I'm saving you coins. Now. This is one individual piece of the Cuban twist and, as you can see, it's pretty thick, so I'm just going to separate it into two, because this gives you more hair to use per pack. So you get more bang for your buck. Now I'm just going to drag at the ends to taper them, because I do not want the blunt look and I'm just going to add one to two pumps. You don't have to add too much because the water, because the hair is already damp, so I'm just using this downward motion to saturate the entire length of the hair and with my cold wave rod, I'm going to attach the hair and do a 360 degree turn To secure it and then I'm using this winding downward motion too tightly coil the hair around the cold wave rod - and you want to do this until you reach the very end of the hair, and it should be a very continuous, very fluid mode. And I'm going to use the clasp to secure the hair into place. Now I'm placing all of my cold wave rods into the sink, and I want to pull upward on the knob of the faucet and this just Stoppers the sink to prevent any water from draining. And I'm just going to add a little bit of the thickening conditioner. By biosilk, just before I add my boiling hot water and I'm completely immersing the cold wave rods in this hot water for about 15 to 60 seconds and then once that time is up, I am going to push downward on the knob of the faucet. And this is just going to drain the water. I love doing this in the sink, because it's just in one general area, there's no mess, there's no movement from one container to the next. It'S all in one area. Now I'm going to use this messy net wig cap and it's great it's very durable sturdy. It has great structural integrity, so I do recommend looking for a similar mesh cap and I'm just going to secure it in place. I did not have push pins so girl. I use the next best thing, which is safety pins and I just inserted those at the temporal or side regions, as well as the frontal portion and the nape just so that it does not move. Now I have my cold wave ride and I let my hair dry overnight, verses. 15 minutes to an hour. I just like that to make sure that I'm not going to create any frizz when I'm separating the hair, because it's wet so wetness will create some type of frizz, and I just wanted to avoid that. So here is what my finished curl looks like it's very springy, with my latch hook, needle I am going to insert it very close to that dark band and I'm going to go through about three holes in total. I'M going to attach the here underneath the hook. Push the latch upward, closing the latch hook you and I'm going to rotate it 180 degrees and slide it in the reverse direction. And I am going to open up the loop, which is on the bottom position. But after we pull the length of the hair through, the loop will be on the top, which is great because this creates a neater finish in the hair, lays flatter and I'm going to pull the two strands to secure the knot. Now that was fast, I'm gon na slow it down slow it down real slow for y'all, with the latch hook in the open position, meaning the latch is in a downward position. I am going to insert it about two to three holes away from my previous nut and I'm going to go through four knots in total. You can do this anywhere around the temporal or side regions, not the crown and I'm going to insert the hair underneath the hook close the latch, I'm going to rotate the needle 180 degrees and slide it downwards so that I do not interfere with any other holes. As I'm coming in the reverse direction, and I am going to open up the loop - which is at the bottom and when I pull the length of the hair through, that loop should be on the top. And I will pull the two individual strands to secure the knot and it should lay flat and neatly ooh. I just did that. Yes, now you're like okay, this is two strands. I still don't know how the hair looks. Okay, so I'm where you see this seam starts to come into play and I'm just going to push the mesh cap inward, because I really want to cinch these seams so that it becomes smaller and we're not in a situation where we have to use more of The mesh cap than we need to so I'm going to push the electric needle through and then outward again and I'm going to gather the mesh cap so that I can reduce the size of the seam, introduce my hair to the hook closed electric needle reverse. It rotate it 180 degrees and slide it downward going to open up the loop and then I'm going to pull the length of the hair through the loop, and I just did this until the seam was smaller in size, and this just helps to make the crown Area much more full, which is something you really want to do, because you do not want to have your top missing. So just just make sure you do this: okay, yeah, alright, so um! So my mannequin, you know she's she's, doing real good! You know her name is Shaniqua she's cooperating today and, as you can see at the crown I like to space the knots closer together, so you may want to go through two to three holes versus four to five holes and once I'm in the front, I cut The hair in half so that I can create somewhat of a side bang, but I did incorporate longer pieces at the front because I just like to make a more natural looking tapered bang, not that blunt bang across the forehead. That'S not what I'm going for here and when I'm done and looked a little something like this, you

AAde: Big support from the UK! Love your videos and love your passion for crochet braids! You always inspire me to return to crotchet braids and I would dearly love to, but I have very thin hair and no matter what braid pattern i do, I tend to have spaces that the braids do not cover. Do you have any advice?
Gam Col: New subbie ! I love to see a professional woman with some class
LaTonya Daniels: In complete love with this. Don't know if I missed it in the video, but did you use one strand at a time or split one into two when you put the hair on the perm rod.
