LATCH HOOK CROCHET BRAID
I would like to talk today about a old hair style that is coming back. Actually the style never went out. Some hair beauticians have not heard of this style. Latch hook crochet braids.
I have been braiding this style for many years, and love it. You do not have to sit in you beauty shop for 6 to 7 hrs. This style will only take about 4hrs or less time to do, and the cost is much less.
First what are latch hook crochet braids? Latch hook crochet braids are individual pieces of hair that are connected to cornrows using a latch hook. What is a latch hook? A latch hook is a tool that is use the pull your crochet hair through your cornrows. You can purchase one at any craft store of beauty supply. Look for bulk hair that comes in a pack already braided in individual pieces, or you can buy the hair pre-package loose.
To start make sure you wash, oil and blow dry your hair. Then start cornrowing your hair straight back from the top of your head to the nap. I cornrow about 7 to 12 braids across. Then at the end connect the braids together to one side. Now your ready to add your hair extension. Take the latch hook and slide it under your cornrow starting at the top of your hair. Take one individual braid fold it in half and latch it on the hook and pull through. You will then knot the individual braid at the top of the cornrow so it will not fall off. Cover all of the cornrows, making sure there are no spaces in between. Your finish look will look beautiful. I hope to make some short videos soon to show the process.
