If you are trying to decide if you should get CROCHET BRAIDS but you can't seem to understand how you will keep them looking fresh and new. Worry no more!!
It starts with the foundation for your CROCHET BRAIDS. Be sure to find a cornrow pattern that you like. After putting in the cornrows, make sure that they are very secure. Secure braiding will ensure that your hair will not come a part. Bad braiding is the main reason for CROCHET BRAIDS not lasting as long as they should. After you have secured your cornrows, begin to use your latch hook needle to feed the bulk braiding hair under the cornrow and pull over through the looped hair. I suggest that you secure the crochet hair with a knot of two.
Now, after installing the CROCHET BRAIDS, you are pretty much ready to live a life free from combing and styling hair for a month or two. If you choose the curly crochet braids, you won't have to do anything to the hair other than wear it. When you select a curly pattern, you get more life out of the style. Generally, looser curls seem to tangle, frizz up and will get knots on the ends.
To keep your CROCHET BRAIDS looking good, you can use water from a spray bottle to help pull the hair apart. Bigger curls generally stick together during the night. You can also use some Shea Butter Conditioner mix with a little water in a spray bottle to help keep your natural hair moisturized and hydrated. Be sure to separate the synthetic hair to expose your scalp and braids to spray the mixture.
In short, to keep your CROCHET BRAIDS looking fresh while taking care of your hair: Keep the hair tied up at night, keep your hair and scalp nourished underneath,work out tangles and knots as needed with a moisturizer, cut the knotted ends when needed, co-wash as needed, shake and Go! That's all to it!!
