Took this two days ago. I'm leaning more toward vintage updo's for protective styles.

The reddish color is from henna <3

Thanks! I get so many compliments on how much it reflects my personality
I got my inspiration from a really pretty red head girl named Ashley. I'm eclectic so I high-jacked the style and put my own spin on it.

The style that hooked me:

Hey Cattypus1 ! Thanks for the compliment!

Right, crochet braids (or weave) is a method of weaving whereby you canerow all your hair back, (a bit like for a sew in) but instead of using a needle and thread to attach hair to the canerows, you use a latch hook tool (a.k.a crochet hook) to pull bulk braiding hair under the cornrow and tie a loop so it stays.

The method is a new take on old school crochet braids where people would canerow their hair back, but then attach pre-braided braids/twists...a hairstyle that many ladies i know would rather forget!

This new take on crochet braids works best with curly or very wavy hair so that you don't see the knots, but I have seen some youtube videos with straight hair used.

Here is a decent video to introduce you to crochet braids:
