If you’re looking for a unique and gorgeous hairstyle, crocheted braids could be the perfect choice for you. This trendy style allows for creativity and versatility, while also protecting your natural hair. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to crochet a braid and achieve a stunning hairstyle that will turn heads everywhere you go.

What You’ll Need

  • A crochet needle
  • Braiding hair extensions
  • Bobby pins
  • Wide-tooth comb
  • Hair ties
  • Hairspray or hair gel (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair

Start by washing and conditioning your natural hair. Once it’s clean, gently detangle it using a wide-tooth comb. If desired, you can apply a small amount of hairspray or hair gel to help with hold and manageability.

Step 2: Section and Cornrow Your Hair

Divide your hair into several sections, depending on how thick you want your braids to be. Take one section and separate it into smaller parts. Begin cornrowing your hair by crossing each small section over the other, gradually adding more hair from the section as you go. Secure each cornrow with a hair tie.

Step 3: Prepare the Braiding Hair Extensions

Take your braiding hair extensions and unravel them. Cut the hair into desired lengths, taking into consideration the length and thickness you want for your braids. This will depend on your personal preference.

Step 4: Attach the Braiding Hair Extensions

Using your crochet needle, slide it underneath one cornrow, close to the base of your natural hair. Fold the braiding hair extension in half and create a loop with it. Insert the loop through the crochet needle and pull it halfway through the cornrow, leaving one end longer than the other. Pull the longer end through the loop, creating a knot that secures the extension. Repeat this process for each cornrow until all are adorned with extensions.

Step 5: Crochet the Extensions

To crochet the extensions, fold the remaining longer end of the extension in half, creating a new loop. Insert the crochet needle through one of the holes in the braid and catch the loop with the hook. Gently pull the needle back through the braid, drawing the extension with it. Repeat this process along each cornrow, ensuring the extensions are tightly crocheted in.

Step 6: Style and Finish

Once you have finished crocheting all the extensions, style your braids in a way that suits your preference. You can leave them loose, create a ponytail, or try different updo styles using bobby pins. Make sure the knots are concealed and the braids are evenly distributed.

To maintain your crocheted braids, sleep with a satin headscarf or use a satin pillowcase to prevent frizz. You can also spray them with a light leave-in conditioner to keep them moisturized and shiny.

Now you’re ready to rock your stunning crochet braid hairstyle! Enjoy the compliments and the versatility that comes with this fabulous look.
