Chest length, ringlet curls crochet braids with leave out

So the highly requested crochet braids are stealing the show again! 😜
This particular client desired a full yet natural look. Her request was successfully achieved as a result of the combination of the hair and leave out. If you’re interested, the hair brand is ‘glance’ ,the colour is 1b and the curl type is ‘circle curl’ -hence the gorgeous goldilocks-like appearance of the curls. The curls did have the tendency to frizz a little, but this wasn’t an issue for the client as the frizz contributed to the natural look the client was aiming for.
This is the first time a client has requested a leave out, but I think it enhanced the natural look of the hair almost giving a weave-like appearance.
Another plus was the fact that the braids only took 3 hours to install!
Crochet braids are evidently a quick, protective yet stylish alternative for those who are transitioning, newly natural or just simply desire a break from the weave and braids.

Beach wave, armpit length crochet braids

This particular client requested for her braids to be styled like my sister’s after she came across them on my blog.
She was given a side parting, she also didn’t want the hair to look too full, so I used only 2 and a half packs of hair. The brand of hair is ‘Freetress’, and it only took a total of 4 hours to install. She also LOVED her hair when she saw the finished look- which of course is always a bonus!

Loosely Curled, armpit length crochet braids

So my sister requested for me to install crochet braids for her again since she loved the ones I previously did for her (scroll down for pictures). There’s not much to explain as these are pretty much the same as the previous ones I installed for her, except the length of these are a little shorter as they only reach armpit length.
The brand of the hair used is ‘j’adore’ in colour 1B, the curl pattern is a loose curl- ideal if you are going for the care- free, beach wave look!

Tightly coiled, past chin length crochet braids

So this particular client desired a curly Afro appearance which we achieved with the tightly coiled hair she purchased. ( I’ve forgotten the name of the brand- apologies).
We spent no more than 3 hours installing these as the hair was already thick and full and she didn’t want the hair to look too full once installed on her head. I think this style nicely complimented the client once it was finished!
