- All the guys think it's my real hair, most of the ladies know better. lol. Hi everyone. Here's my crochet braid tutorial. I told you that I would do crochet braids approximately one month ago and I'm finally sharing the video.
HAIR SPECS: bit.ly/2hAPyAw
Freetress Equal Cuban Twist Braid Hair in the color 2 and 16 inches long. This is the bulk hair. Shake-N-Go also carries the weft version of the hair for those of you who might prefer a sew-in weave.
They carry the hair in 12", 14", 16" and 24," they also carry the Weaving Cuban Twist Hair and deliver in 2 business days.
I wore it on vacation (Sept 19-21) It was awesome because I didn't have to deal with styling my own hair. Talk about a relief. Although, I have no hair left out, this hair would do a fabulous job blending with super kinky (type 4b/4c) natural hair and the low luster matches mine perfectly.

Heyyyy that's the hair i used, too! After brushing it out, i curled it with blue perm rods and hot water - amazing results, and EVERYONE thought it was my hair. Love it!
Chidimma E. Nice. It does look real.
wow I love this hair, it looks like most black women's actual hair!
Kay-Ann Henry Yes, that's why I love it.
Can you curl it?
Used this hair on a client recently. We were both shocked at how extremely rough it was. It's feels like a Brillo pad. However it's very beautiful. In this case you'll sacrifice a little comfort for a very authentic look.
NaturallyFierceOne lol. Tell me about it.
I have had this hairstyle for a week or two and I often get a lot of comments about it (negative and positive). I love this hairstyle so much though! So beautiful
Danielle Hill Yay. I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)
Very cute!
***** Aww, thank you. :)
I installed the hair. I must have a huge head, I ended up using three packs. It looks really good though and very natural. Thanks for the lesson on installing. Cuban twist looks so natural, it is amazing!
Scruffify! I love it. It looks so natural.
+Carmela Pattillo Anuli Mokoroto lol. Thank you.
I can't wait to do this hairstyle. I always use this Cuban twist hair for my faux locks usually and I didn't know how awesome this hair could look if I crocheted it like this!! I love this hair style!
Cachae Stewart Yes, it's so natural looking. I love this hair.
Looks very natural
Thanks for sharing! After watching your video, I went out and got the hair and had it installed. That was back in June and I am still wearing it! No one know that it isn't my hair. I love it! :)
lol. Ikr. That's what I loved most about it.
:)
Looks like your hair to me. Very nice!
llora1000 Thank you, thank you. :)
LOL, Scruffify? I love it and knew exactly what you meant. Great video. I plan on doing this for the winter.
Dejah K-H lol. Thanks. :)
I didn’t know you could brush it! Thank you 💓
You're welcome.
Yours is the best I have seen
I love how I can't see the knots
Lashay Smith I agree, I've seen some very beautiful styles but I could see the knots which was a turn off.
MonetCrayLove yes me to
You did an excellent job. I will copy this style for my sister next week. Thanks for the tutorial!
Laughter Is Medicine You're welcome and thanks for watching. :)
YEESSSS! SCRUFFIFY! lol. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
***** lol. I'm glad it helped.
scrufify. I learned a new word. LOL Great tutorial
+kalincaroline lol. Thank you. :)
whoa i never thought about that. how you did the part was genius. love love love. thanks
i love the scrapify concept lol
destined4it lol. Thanks. :)
gonna try this out today. BTW, you remind me so much of Serayah, aka Tiana from Empire. beautiful!
+beauty4kicks Aww, thank you. :)
Looks great on you! I personally didn't like this brand in my hair at all. But I did cut mine in half & I don't know it just was too rough for me
AlotByTrue B Yeah, it's on the rough side. I guess it's easy for me because my hair is so coarse that it could cut you. lol
I love it. I will try it with Mojito twists
OMG! I love this video. You made it so easy for me an I'm going to do this asap lol Thanks
shawananita Hardy You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :)
Your hair looks great 😘
I tried this in the past but I felt if looked way too big so I took the lot out again lol. Might five it another go now with more spacing. I also have problems at the back where my braided meets. Seems too thick (but I have fine 4c) to loop over.
Thanks again for sharing. ☺
sunnie231138 Thanks for watching. Yeah, it can get too full. That happened to me when I did it a couple of years ago with Marley Hair. I found myself removing half of it. lol
Thank you!
this was everything!
NykkyNR Thank you. :)
Really cute!
Beautiful job!
Carolyn Brack-Jackson Thank you. :)
I always used to use this hair. I'm wearing a TWA and looking to find crochet style with this hair. My hair is so short because I switched to a different hair to which I was allergic and had to cut my hair off to release the tension and irritation. I love your video and plan to use this hair, but cut it way down into two or 3 pieces. Thanks for making this video.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'm always curious to know different ways to style the same hair.
Beautiful! In the beginning of the video, when you have your hair pulled back, did you leave some hair out in the front to be able to do that?
Bintou Kunjo I have no leave-out. All of my hair is in crochet braids.
The hair looks really nice. You said you wore it on vacation, did you go into the water? If so was it manageable after?
I have watched all your vids they are awesome
Abbie Repton Thank you so much. :)
Best tutorial
mistyday Thank you. :)
my crochet braids won't stay put. They slip out even with the tie and knot. All methods I try. Any suggestions?
Thanks
this is amazing! thank you!!
Assia Dramé Thanks for watching. :)
Great job! This is really really cute. I would have shave it instead of using scissors. What to you think?
+Rayell Wilhite Shaving is cool too. Thank you. :)
How do you wash the hair, keep it oiled and which is better, a paddle brush with plastic bristles, boar hair bristles or a wire brush? How long can you keep the hair in? Your hair looked natural and very pretty.
June Clemons Thank you. I usually just rinse my hair when it's in crochet braids and I spray a leave-in conditioner underneath to keep it hydrated. Sometimes, I will get a squeeze bottle and part my crochet braiding hair according to the cornrows underneath then apply an oil or cream. I use a wire brush for brushing and I would recommend keeping it in no longer than six weeks, but I've seen people go longer.
Thanks dear
+Elisabeth Clement Thanks for watching.
Nice job!
Jesus Saves🙏
N Fogg Thank you. :)
Getting that
How do you put it in order to sleep?
Can u put it in a bun?
You look flawless BTW💪💪💪🔥🔥
Alpha lyttle I did low buns. Thank you. :)
Don't think I would do crochet with this hair because of this heat 🔥🔥🔥 but I will surely use this hair for other purposes. You look awesome though
elizabeth Taylor lol. I understand. I tied this hair back so many times because of the heat. Thank you. 😊
I use a brush or small tooth brush
Beautiful fro and quite believable. How long did this hair keep? Did it tangle much and can you do twist outs with it?
***** I can't remember how long I had it installed. It didn't tangle much. I brushed it every once in a while. I never did twist outs, but you can curl it with rollers and dip it in hot water for a beautiful curl.
***** Ok, thanks. I'll try it out if I can find it here in the UK. Thanks for sharing!
How does the hair react to water ,like does it curl up? Would you recommend wearing this crochet style in the pool or at a water park? Because I need a natural look for vacations.
Kaiya Shanel It pretty much stays the same. It remains it this kinky state unless you dip it in hot water.
Ilove this Crochet Natural...
seuma tavares Thank you. :)
love the tips and advice. :-) thank you.
ExquisiteKinkyCoils You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :)
Omg ur so gorgeous!
Beautiful
Destinasia Davis Thank you. :)
There is no doubt that this hair look really nice but I cannot stand the feel of it. So damn rough! Thank God I listened to my instincts and went to my beauty supply store instead of buying online because Girl this hair rough as hell. There are way better kinky braiding hair out there that look just like this but with better feel.
I understand where you are coming from. It is rough.
You did a great job though, that hair is just not for me.
So true...I bought 8 packs online and I hate the way it feels. I don't even know what to do with the hait at this point.
Beautiful!
KJ Wilson Thank you. :)
This looks beautiful. How does the hair feel? Is it coarse or does it itch when it touches your skin? I love kinky synthetic hair, but that's the biggest issue :(
kimberry2010 The ends are really coarse. After I cut them off, it wasn't so bad. It didn't make me itch, but if you tend to have allergic reactions I'd wash then dip it in hot water especially if you plan on curling the hair anyway. :)
Love your hair!
CarlytheDreamer Thanks, doll.
***** OMG! finally found someone who likes to use my favorite word! "doll" i use it in almost every text LOL
When I purchased this hair awhile back I noticed it shed ALOTTT especially when brushed or cooked. Was yours the same way?
Cbella Marie Yeah, it sheds, but it wasn't crazy shedding for me.
Cool
+Stephanie Daniel Thank you. :)
Thank you for this
No problem 😊
how do you undo it? is it difficult to undo/remove? - if you could make a video on this, that would be great
Richill T I just slide it out of the loop. I can do a video next time I do crochet braids.
Have you tired curling this hair? Of so, how well did it do when curled?
bmarie24 I have. I did a briadout and it was okay, but I did do strand tests with rollers and it turned out nicely.
it looks really good. did u ever blow dry it to straighten or had to use a straighten iron.
+Atinuke Adama Nope, but I've seen people blow out kinky synthetic hair.
Oh ok thank you
+Quana3180 You're welcome.
I would love to try this. Can it be put into a pony tail or up look. I work as a waitress/bartender and can't have my hair out around the food.
Karis Johnson I put it in a low bun most of the time. It looks just as pretty. :)
Karis Johnson You could always use the Vixen method with this if your hair is long enough.
Pretty! !!
Jazzy B Thank you. :)
I love Cuban hair as well!!! I have a question, were you able to swim with your hair unprotected with the crocheted style. I love to swim and I have only done so with box braids. It would make me so happy if i could... Thanks
velorna I did swim with it unprotected. :)
Ok thank you so much... Good to know!
What styles can you do with this? I just did my hair like this and its awesome,however, I want to do some styles with it that doesn't show MY real hair in the process.
I know this was originally 8 years ago. But. 8 years later would you wear this style again? Would you do anything different. ?
Yes! I would probably shape it better and maybe leave some out on the sides for more updo options. I'd also consider a hot water set a week before removing just to switch things up.
Can you go swimming in this hair? Any suggestions on what to do after?
Lisa R Yes, you can go swimming. I just rinse my hair out and lightly shampoo it after then brush and style as usual.
You are very beautiful, grat tutorial. Please steps on easier removal process. Thanks Be Bless
Sando Zoker Thank you. I just cut them low and slid them out, but I'll definitely do that when I install crochet braids again. :)
Okay,
Thanks. Be Blessed
The natural part happened because the short knot was UNDER the hair. In the unnatural look, the hair was pulled through the loop on top.
Your hair look so good your braids do not show at all
I put in a crochet braid and then I pull out the twist. But now I want to make it stay like natural hair like in this video. How can I do dat?
You can do a rod set with small rollers and dip it in hot water. That might help.
Does come in textures for mix Indian hair like mines? Also does it come in ombre hair?
Daphneamy360 I think it comes in solid colors and this particular hair only comes in this texture.
Love it
Giselle Perry Thank you. :)
You're welcome
Can you braid your hair with braiding hair ... for more protection ?
Khari Scott You can. I'm just lazy. lol
was this video sponsored. because other folks have said this hair was super dry and hard to manage.
I was sent the hair for free and It is coarse, but I prefer it because it matches my texture perfectly. Some people prefer softer hair, so it just depends I guess.
can you put it into a high ponytail ?
+Byee . Tf . Yes, you can.
Is this hair like Marley hair or kinky twist hair? I'm asking because I'm allergic to that hair but I've used freetress before but not this kind of hair but I would love to try it.
You're probably just allergic to the chemical coating used to preserve the hair until use. I suggest rinsing with apple cider vinegar in a basin with warm water, rinse with warm water and them fill the basin again with water and any conditioner of your choice.
Is this soft like Kankolne hair?
Daphneamy360 No
wow you're gorgeous.
+Breeanne Daniels Thanks, doll.
how do you maintain the hair? Do you use oils to make it shine?
joy washington I brushed it to get rid of tangles and washed as needed. I never used oils in it.
Thanks for the info.
Do u use any oils or spray to mantain it? Cause I did the Marley hair it was very dry.
Jhane Jae No. I tend to break out when I put product in my hair . I will use water from time to time, but that's it. This hair is more coarse than Marley Hair.
Ok thanks
how many packs of hair did u use
Veronica Preston Two packs and a few pieces.
What products do you use for maintenance?
Joyce Buchanan I use a brush to detangle, but that's about it.
How many packs did you use for this style?
Trudy Hewitt 2.5 :)
How many braids are going back?
Shon9tilR Probably 10.
How many packs did you use? By the way it's really nice 😁
+Quana3180 I think 2.5.
What kind of lipstick are u wearing
Tenesie Payne Some $1 BSS lippie. It was by NK. I need to be better about my lippies.
i want to make a wig with the braidable weaving hair. do you think the hair would be durable / easy to wash? love your videos btw :)
I think it should be easy to wash if you wash in a downward motion and avoid rubbing it in circles. Thanks for watching. :)
Thanks so much x
Can you do this on non African hair?
Maria V. I'm not sure. I do something different with straighter textures: th-cam.com/video/n_5HBODzcIc/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13tsdtxos3cxdrgf04cdloyykmndv5ggjk
And also was it easy to maintain ?
Naomie Lebe It was easy. I'm a very simple person so that probably helped. :)
I love your hair ,what's the name of hair u used to make it?
+Udumudheno Onokpite Thanks. It's in the description box.
Thanx
Beautiful :)
Krystol Daley Thank you. :)
Can this style be worn up?
MsVee77 No, I didn't install it for that purpose, but I know there is probably a tutorial somewhere.
Where did you get the hair from?
Shanelleboo95 I was sent the hair, but it should be in your local BSS. It's everywhere in my city. lol
Great video...new subbie!
Where Can I get the tool your using
Rene Woodard Ask for a latch hook at your local beauty supply store.
very nice, how many packs did this take
+Ty W Thanks. 2.5 packs were used.
+Pure Estrogen ok, thx
How did the hair hold up in water? ( If you went in the water..lol)
This hair was not made for water. lol. It didn't hold up well.
what do you mean by 2 packs and 5 pieces? i'm confused about the 5 pieces. thanks
abenebaby Yeah, I should have thought about that before talking. lol. There are like 16 pieces in a pack. Each piece is about the size of your thumb.
I used this hair but its so rough,it caused me an irritation rash🥺
It is rough. Sorry you experienced that.
LOVE IT! What color did you use?
Itohan Amayo I used the color #2.
OK thank you!
