Protective styling season is upon us. To get you ready, I have put together this list of the most stylish crochet braid hairstyle right now. In this post, I will be sharing a variety of crochet braid hairstyles suitable for all hair textures and lengths.
One thing I love about crochet braids is that they are so easy to install and takedown. It’s also an ideal styling option for someone who is trying to grow their hair out or cover up bald edges. You can either install the hair by yourself or get a hairstylist to do it for you. Whatever option you end up choosing, please make sure you don’t braid your hair too tight.

How can I take care of my natural hair while it’s in crochet braids?
It’s also crucial that you take care of your hair underneath. To do that, I recommend using one of these leave-in conditioner sprays, so that you can moisturize your hair without applying heavy creams. You should also lubricate your scalp with one of these hair growth oils so that your scalp doesn’t dry out while your hair is in a protective style.
How do I prevent itchy scalp when I have hair extensions on?
If you find that your hair itches after installing hair extensions, I suggest pre-soaking the hair extensions piece in a bowl of diluted apple cider vinegar. You can then wash off the vinegar smell with your favourite shampoo and rinse off with conditioner to add extra softness to the hair.
How long can I keep crochet braids in for?
You can keep them in for up to 6-8 weeks depending on how your scalp feels and the environment you’re in. For example, if it’s very hot where you’re at, you might only need to keep the crochet in for about 4 weeks so that your scalp can get some fresh air.
Are crochet braids damaging to my hair?
Depending on how your hairstylist braids the cornrows underneath your crochet, it may or may not damage your hair. This is why it’s so crucial to inform your hairstylist to loosen up when braiding. You should also caution her when braiding the hair around your edges. If possible, you should have her leave your edges loose, and you can just use an edge control gel to define the baby hair. This way, you can enjoy your hairstyle without experiencing damage.
Does crochet braids break hair?
No, it doesn’t break your hair. The only thing that will break your hair is if your crochet is too tight or the cornrows are too tight. You can also experience breakage if you completely neglect your own hair underneath and you don’t moisturize it at all.
How many packs of hair do I need for crochet braids?
Depending on the style and length you’re going for, you might need up to ten packs of hair. Most crochet hair on Amazon or Wal-Mart usually come in a bundle, so you can buy enough packs for your hair.
3. River Goddess Locs Crochet Braids With Leave Out
This hairstyle went viral on Pinterest and I noticed that a lot of people have been asking me what hair was used and how this hairstyle was achieved.
To learn how to achieve this hairstyle, please read this blog post where it details how to do faux locs.
If you don’t want to be clicking around, I understand, I’ll just summarize how to get it done right here.
So this hairstyle was achieved by wrapping kanekalon hair such as Xpressions or kinky hair such as Cuban twist or Marley twist hair around individually braided hair to create the faux locs. Then, wavy crochet hair such as the Freetress deep wave hairwas crocheted into each faux loc to create this wavy look.
25. Kinky Twists With Twisted Hair at the front to give off a braided finish
You can either install pre-looped Marley twists for a faster install or you can crochet Marley hair and twist each individual hair to achieve this look.
To prolong the lifetime of your hairstyle, be sure to wrap your hair at night with asilk scarfand secure it with a satin bonnet. Over time, your edges might start to loosen up, so to keep your hair looking neat, just use an edge controlgel with an edge brushto keep your edges defined.
