Want to give a breather to your hair while also looking fabulous? Crochet braids are the way to go!

This is a protective yet chic hairstyle that closely resembles a weave. In this, your hair is initially braided into cornrows, but not very tightly, so as not to put excessive tension on your scalp. It gives a miss to sewing extensions, and instead, the extensions are threaded through your braids with a crochet needle and secured with a twist-and-knot technique.

Incredibly versatile, stylish, and easy, crochet braids can be done all by yourself! Yes, you heard it right. Just master a few tricks, and save those expensive trips to the salon!

Also, note that crochet braids will last depending on many factors, including how complex your braiding pattern is, the quality of the extensions, and the maintenance routine you follow. Generally speaking, crochet braids can last from anywhere between four to eight weeks. Keep in mind that it is not advisable to keep your braids for over two months as it can put undue stress on your natural hair, leading to breakage.

So what are you waiting for? Give your Afro-textured natural hair and fresh makeover with these popular crochet braids from around the world!

Depending on the nature of your extensions, you can ace this look by simply blow-drying them or using a hair straightener to get a polished finish.

Luscious curls are something that almost every woman has desired at some point in time. Well, the good news is, you can flaunt them in the form of curly crochet braids that come in a wide variety of natural-looking styles. Be it long beach curls or soft waves, or even tight ringlets; there are so many options to experiment with!

You can use a wide variety of hair for these braids. It depends on the look and color you want, besides your budget. Irrespective of using pre-curled, pre-styled, or pre-colored hair, synthetic hair options usually guarantee better results. Since the cornrows are not braided as tightly as in other styles, this is an excellent option to give your scalp a break.

However, you need to maintain a regular washing and conditioning regime, just as you would do with any protective hairstyle. Keeping your hair and scalp moisturized as well as healthy pay also promotes new growth.

While many women avoid washing their hair altogether when wearing a crochet hairstyle, you can choose to spray some diluted shampoo on your roots. Massage your scalp a little before rinsing out the mixture. You can use a watered-down, leave-in conditioner on the added hair, but make sure you avoid the roots.

Rock the look, and thank us later!
