[Marand13]

Hey ladies! So I did this last night and thought I would share it here with all of you. I love this hairstyle!
This will be my protective style for the next few months.

I have a ton more pictures posted on my blog and also did a quick rambling tutorial on my youtube.

It came out cute. Now I know with crochet braids are. This is a great alternative to my curly sew-in I use to get.

I'm loving them! I had to stop with the sew ins. Crochet braids are much easier imo.

Berry berry nice!

 

[NaturalJael]

Great job! They look good! Are you a professional stylist?

 

[Fhrizzball]

I wished I could cornrow or I would be living in this style. No matter how often I try it comes out awful. Do you get slippage using hair that smooth?

 

[Atdow71]

They look really nice!

I'm not licensed but I have been doing hair for a very very long time. Probably longer than a lot of profesionals out there. I was going to go for my license but haven't had the time as of yet. Maybe in the near future.

I think the term "professional stylist" is subjective. Just because someone is deemed to be "professional" does not mean they are very good. Which is why I don't do salons.

It does slip but I use a little hairspray on the knots and it holds just fine.

They look really nice!

Thank you!!

"Crochet braids" because a crochet/latch hook needle is used to "crochet" pieces of hair into the braids.

The video will help as its better to see whats happening.

I used to use hair that was pre-braided to do them back in the day.

 

[MzSwift]

Very pretty! I love the curl!
You make me wanna try these this winter. LoL

 

[finickyone]

This is gorgeous!

I have been wearing crochet braids using the Janet marley hair. It looks like a blow out & even fools my husband. I love this protective style.

I remember the prebraided hair so well....That dates me...I was in high school. This hair gives new life to this style.

Marley hair and regular bulk hair look so natural. I want to try the bulk next time I do it.

It really does! I love the fact that the look can vary so much depending on the type of hair used.

Nice!! I've found my next style thx.

Love the hair, and the style fits your pretty face so well. Now i see that you are in NY. Do you do other people's hair? Would love for you to do my hair

Marand13, I just subscribed to your channel. I been on the fence about crochet braids and kinky twist. You gave me a nice project to do this upcoming weekend. Beautiful work!

How many cornrolls did you end up doing?

I think i will practice cornrolling on my hair and once it's gets to a semi decent level, attempt this style and hope I don't look a mess.

I recall I had went to a salon a year or so back to get loose hair crochet braids but they would only do the prebraided hair on me saying the hair I picked wouldn't work. Looked a time machine mess and only kept it in for a week or two.

I actually have no clue.. But I do have pics of the braids on my blog.

Thats funny, because I have seen people doing them with bulk hair for at least a couple of years now. The pre-braided hair went out in the 90s
