WHAT ARE CROCHET BRAIDS?
Crochet braids are a form of protective hairstyling typically worn primarily by individuals with textured or curly hair. Just like weaves (sew-in), individual braids, or cornrows, crochet braids are meant to give natural hair rest from daily manipulation. Crochet braids are a complete protective hairstyle so there is no natural hair exposed. The natural hair is braided into cornrows using the stylist's braid pattern of choice. Next, pieces of synthetic hair [including pre-braided or pre-twisted]) hair is strategically added by pulling it underneath different sections of the cornrows with a crochet hook until the desired style is achieved.
