Hi all! My hair was starting to suffer from swimming and cold Michigan winter so I decided to try crochet braids. I think they turned out pretty good for my first attempt....

Wow, looks really nice ecadnacmc. Great job for a first attempt! I've been thinking about doing crotchet braids but never attempted it.
What type of hair did you use and what style were the cornrows? TIA

Sorry for the delayed response couldn't remember the hair type so had to look it up online. Yes I cut the hair in half to install and then cut it an angle when I was finished. I braided my hair back then braid the all the braids together, tucked and secured ends back up to a side braid with yarn. Then to further secure I did several crochet braids over my hair ends. It's kind of bulky in back but you can't tell because I used less hair in the back.

I did 13 cornrows going back and secured ends with black silky yarn (afraid to use weaving thread) and two packs of Freetress water wave braid in #2

Thanks for the info! I plan on giving it a try next month.

After braiding my hair back I braided all the braids to one side and then secured the ends with black silky yarn. I then did several crochet braids over the ends to further secure. Hair is kind of bulky in back but you don't really notice because I spaced the crochet braids farther apart in the back and closer together in the front. The closer together the hair the less hair I used.

I've never been a fan of crochet braids.but seeing yours I am guessing what I've seen was not done correctly. Yours looks really good

I felt the same way. I've had hair for like 2 months and was too scared to try. But my hair was drying out and I have a week off for vacation so I figured worse case scenario if it came out bad I had plenty of time to take it out.

Lol! It's really not that hard to do. Much easier and quicker than braids/twist/pseudlocs extensions. But for real.... How much u willing to pay? Lol
