What is crochet hair?
Your natural hair is first braided flat as a base, such as cornrows. Pre-looped extension hair is then attached to the base with a latch tool or crochet needle, which gives a full style without braiding every strand.
Why choose crochet?
It is often a good choice when you want a full look with less time in the chair. Tell us the length, the texture and the amount of fullness, and send a reference photo of the style you want.
How to care for crochet hair
Keep the scalp clean and moisturised, wrap the hair at night and avoid pulling on the loops. Because the base is braided, take the style down before new growth tangles at the roots.
How a crochet install works
A crochet install has two parts. First, your natural hair is braided into a base, such as cornrows or another flat braid pattern. Then pre-looped extension hair is attached to the base with a latch tool or crochet needle. Because the hair comes pre-looped, the second step is quicker than braiding every strand individually.
Choosing the hair texture and length
Crochet hair comes in many textures, from straight to wavy to tightly curled, and in different lengths and colours. Tell us the look you want and send a reference photo. We confirm in your quote whether hair is included and what type is used.
The braided base
The base is usually cornrows, and the way it is braided affects both the look and the comfort. A neat, flat base lets the hair lie smoothly. Tell us if you have a sensitive scalp or thin edges so we can keep the base comfortable, and tell us straight away if any row feels too tight.
Who crochet hair suits
Crochet hair is a good choice if you want a full style with less time in the chair, or if you want to change your look without braiding every strand. If you prefer individual braids, compare knotless braids or box braids.
Styling crochet hair
Depending on the texture you choose, you can wear it down, brush it gently into shape, or pin it into a half-up style. Handle the hair gently, because pulling hard on the loops can loosen them.
Caring for a crochet style
Keep the scalp clean and lightly moisturised, wrap the hair in a satin scarf or bonnet at night, and avoid tugging at the loops. Wash the scalp gently with diluted shampoo, rinse well and dry the base fully so it does not stay damp.
Taking crochet hair down
Remove the extension hair gently from the base, then take out the base braids and detangle with conditioner. Do not leave the base in for too long, because new growth can tangle at the roots.
What to expect at your appointment
We start by braiding your natural hair into the base, then attach the hair row by row. Because the appointment is shorter than many braid styles, it can suit a tighter schedule, but we still give you an estimated time in your quote. Arrive with your hair washed, detangled and fully dry, bring reference photos, and tell us about any sensitive areas on your scalp. If you are unsure which texture to pick, send us two or three photos and we will talk through the options before you book.
Booking crochet hair
Message us on WhatsApp, LINE or email with your reference photos, your hair length, the texture and length you want, and your location. We reply with availability and a quote that includes any travel fee for a home or office visit. Braiding is a long appointment, so allow a full day slot and arrive with your hair washed, detangled and fully dry unless we tell you otherwise.
