I AM CURRENTLY IN CORCHET BRAIDS ANDI GOT MY BRAIDING PATTERN FROM A MEMBER HERE I SEARCH ON HERE FOR CROCHET BRAIDES AND THE PATTERN IS BRAID 8-10 BRAIDS IN THE FRONT PART OF YOUR HEAD AND BRAID 6 BRAIDS IN THE BACK BUT TAKE 2-3 BRAIDS FROM THE FRONT AND INCORPARATE THEM IN THE BRAID YOUR DOING IN THE BACK AND IT WILL LOOK GOOD THATS HOW MY HAIR ISNOW

Hi Momolicious,

I got my tree braids done last week with freetress water wave...the hair is pretty and I love the natural look of the curls but I can''t take the fuzzies and the tangles. What I have been doing so far is using garnier anti frizz serum in the hair and detanglling and twisting at night. I spray my scalp with my kimmaytube leave in conditioner and the remnants I rub into the synthetic hair.

You don't want to apply too much product to the hair as unlike human hair it does not absorb the products and you can't wash it as often.

I have tree braids (cornrow the hair and leave out pieces as you go along with individuals around the perimeter). I am not sure whether the hair would tangle as much with the crochet braids as with crochet you are using the latch and knotting the hair to stay intact so possibly the hair does not unravel and separate as much as with interlocking it.

I do love the fact that I can access my scalp and it is very light but the next time I plan on doing it with human hair.

HTH

WHAT I USE IS JUST WATER INFUSED WITH HAWIIAN SILKY 14-IN 1 AND HAT HELPS ALOT BUT THE HAIR I USED IS BOBBI BOSS DEEP PONY BRAIDS AND IT TANGLES AND KNOTS TO BAD SO IWILL BE TAKEING THISOUT SOON BUT IN THE MEAN TIME IWILLCUT IT !!!!!!!
