So, how do you install your crochet Hairstyle. Let’s start with what you’ll need: crochet hair of your choice, hook needle, comb to part your hair when cornrowing and lastly, some oil to apply to your scalp to keep it healthy.
You begin by braiding your natural hair into cornrows (you can also add extensions to your cornrow if you need to), following this you loop the crochet hair through the cornrows using a hooked needle.
Finally, it’s the tip you’ve waiting for; the best braid pattern to get your hairstyle popping. We suggest, parting around your circumference (minus the front) and cornrow individually going up, this helps with tying your hair up.
