So I was on Google/YT researching crochet braids, since I am not really familiar with them that much but have been intrigued/inspired by naturalmanenyc and BlackMasterPiece's recent threads on them. I am currently wearing box braids and am on a personal 4 month HYH challenge, and instead of switching between these, kinky twists and senegalese twists, i plan on trying crochet braids with curly hair next. I googled "crochet braids" and came across a thread on naturallycurly.com (IDK if I am allowed to post the link) where a girl posted her results from crochet braids. She used a different type of BSS hair for her curly set...much smaller waves than the Freetress Water Wave, but it looks great! I was browsing the thread when I saw THIS, a second set of crochet braids she installed...and my jaw dropped!!!
This immediately caught my attention, as they closely resemble the senegalese twists I love to wear, but would take less time since they are crocheted in! I was even happier to see that she has a YT video about these braids...here is the link:

In addition, she has a fotki where you can see more pics:

According to her, the hair is about $2 a pack and she used 7 packs spaced out, although she recommends 10-12 for most people. However, she didn't cut the hair so they are waist-length. I am SERIOUSLY thinking about going this route! Anyone had crochet braids like these before???
