Happy "almost friday" loves! #tutorialthursday . Here's a mini-tutorial on my current crochet faux-hawk protective style. Hair used is your everyday kanekalon braiding hair from my fav beauty supply spot @hairsations. I prefer this style to a weave because 1.) It's cheaper ($20!), 2.) I still have access to my full scalp for hassle-free shampooing, oiling & moisturizing purposes. 3.) I can take it out in a month without feeling guilty over how much it cost to install 😊 (leaving hair/wefts in for long periods of time drys/thins your natural hair, causing breakage) 😱 CROCHET TIPS ⬇⬇⬇: . * Foundation is KEY!!! I usually start with 2 side braids (nearest to the ears) that connect to a medium braid at my nape, allowing for it to be styled in a ponytail. . * Criss-crossing the front braids will hide the back braids, or else u risk having a visible part from the front 2 the back 😨 . *The #invisibleknots method helps achieve a more natural look where the hair is going to be parted. I can part the hair on the sides or the middle due to this method. My leave-out hair is what will stay visible (Mohawk!) . * Blow drying the hair is what straightens it, similar to hot water dipping. Be sure to use the highest setting, and QUICKLY pass it along the hair, or it'll melt off!!! .Hope it helps! THANKS 4 READING!!!
