Everyone and their mama is gettin’ a crochet weave (or crochet braids) and for good reason. What better way to achieve the big, textured look of a twist-out or braid-out while still protecting your hair! Even I tried my hand at it and kept it in for a month (sorry, no pics). A couple of my blogger boos have also joined in the fun!
Wanna try it?
There are a TON of tutorials on YouTube but I just came across what has got to be THE shortest how-to on crochet braids I’ve seen to-date! Although a mere two minutes and thirty seconds long, Toni of My Natural Sistas manages to pack some helpful tips into this vid making it great for beginners. Using Cuban Twist hair and the basic latch-hook method, the results are simply beautiful.
CHECK IT OUT!
I intend to install this again within a week or two using Cuban Twist hair as I did the first time. At some point, I’ll fill you in on what I learned from my experience and what I plan to do differently the next time around.
What about you? Have you tried crochet weave/crochet braids yet? Will you? If so, what’s your hair of choice?

Hello!
I would want to know what texture has your crochet braid at the end ? Thanks

Hello Diandra. I’m sorry but I don’t really understand your question. Also, this is not me in the video. I was simply sharing a video someone else made. If you have questions about the tutorial, you should go to the video on youtube.com and ask there. 🙂
I’m sorry, my english is very bad ^^”. I would like to know if they become rough after hot water but thank you for your answer.
Can you state the *exact* hair you used for this; brand, name, colour and purchase location? Thanks.

Hi Trudy,
I wish I could but this is not me. After clicking on the video to watch, click on the “YouTube” tab which should be located on the bottom right. *IF* she gives any details about the hair, they would be in the description box underneath the video.

…and I stated in the post that it’s Cuban Twist Hair. You can find that at just about any beauty supply store.
