This year is already looking happy indeed. If you haven't heard of crotchet braids them I am here to tell you about them. Don't worry if you have heard about them if you haven't tried them I am also here to encourage you to try them out . Crotchet braids are relatively inexpensive as you do the lab our yourself so unless your spending a lot of money on hair then you can literally spend only £10 to get your hair done. I got the crotchet needle on ebay for just £4 ( I actually got 2). You can look in haberdashers or fabric stores if your not a fan of ebay or have no access to ebay.
I live in Skipton which has no Afro hair specialists. (lol) I love my natural hair but sometimes I just want to cover it up and let it be. Crotchet braids are a good protective hair style. The great part about them is you can do them yourself. I might do a review of this hairstyle when I'm done with it. It's all up to you. If want a review then please let me know in the comments section or on Facebook or twitter.
You will need:
- Hair of you choice
- a latch hook crochet needle
- a comb

The whole process
I won't go into detail myself as I wouldn't make sense. I've linked a crotchet braid tutorial that is very detailed on how to achieve the look. There are many other videos on YouTube so I would say check out as many as you can.
Although I did take some tips from this video I modified it to suite me. You don't have to follow the tutorial to a tee especially concerning the canerow /cornrow pattern. As long as it is secure anything will do.
Before
It took me about 8 hours to complete this hair style. As it was my first time doing it that would make sense. It was a bit tricky getting the method right but eventually I got it right. I chose this hair is it's big and poofy :). It keeps me warm.
After
If you have no one to do your hair then this is perfect for you. I promise you you won't regret it.
Stay inspired
Love
Tiwi
