I wanted some color for the summer so I decided to put in my third set of crochet braids, but this time I did them myself.
I used 2 packs of hair, color 2 and color 4/30, bulk Freetress Bohemian Braid.
Not only did it take 5 1/2 hours to crochet in the hair but also 2 hours yesterday prepping the hair (dividing pre-sectioned hair into 2, 3 or 4 pieces with gel). All in all it took 7.5 hours plus the hour it took the woman I paid to do my cornrows. But instead of $150 that I normally pay my braider for the crochet curly twists, I spent $28.75. Although it took all day, I cannot complain at all given the outcome and the price.

My hair this morning
My hair now
I need to even up the back
Six weeks later, freshly washed/conditioned:
Underneath the weave
I intend to keep these in for 2 more weeks. Having shake & go hair for the summer has been fantastic!
