Crochet Braids

What are crochet braids?

Well, crochet braids is loose braiding hair that you crochet into your own hair using a crochet needle.  In order to install crochet hair, you’ll first need to cornrow braid your own hair.  If your own hair is a bit thin, many people will use Kanekalon braiding hair to thicken up the cornrow braids.  There are different patterns to french braid your hair depending on the style your are trying to create.  The vast majority of crochet braids is made of synthetic hair.  The reason is that human hair will not hold a knot.  Even some synthetic hair can have a hard time holding a knot.  Recently though, Saga Remy released human hair crochet braids, so there is finally a human hair crochet braid option.

Why crochet braids now?

Crochet braids have been around for years, so what's the big deal about them now?  Crochet braids have come a long ways since they were introduced.  When installed properly, it's very near impossible to tell that it's not your real hair.  In addition, it can take a fraction of the time to install crochet braid hair compared to actually braiding or twisting all of your hair in the same style.  There are tons of choices in styles, from pre-braided and twisted styles such as Box Braids, to wavy and curly styles like Deep Twist and Water Wave.  And with so much variety in colors, you're bound to find that perfect shade for you.
