Hey yall! These are a set of gorgeous curly crochets done on a lady doctor client who wanted a protective style that looked like her natural curly texture. She seems plucked out of a medical drama….she’s so darn pretty! Beauty, Brains and a fellow Haitian! It was a pleasure to meet her and the result blew even me away. This was done with freetress water wave hair in color 1b/2.
Let me know what you think!

These are crochet braids I did on my mom! I must say it looks fab! Its an excellent protective style which will be great for her as I’ll be away to school again by the end of this weekend :’( ….I learned it from chocolatetresses on youtube to get her tutorials type in her username and the word crochet.
So as many of you know, I’m modeling LongHairDon’tCare’s regimen as much as possible. Essentially her reggie is based on long term low maintenence protective styling to achieve your goal. The protective style I found and fell in love with were crochet braids. I chose them because they give you a very “done” polished look while protecting your hair, they’re quick and easy to do most ladies on youtube say it took them a average of 3-4 hours so I was excited to try them. Well my mom went from store to store and couldn’t find a latch hook anywhere :-\ so we got creative and I pretty much did this style with nothing more then a bobby pin 
lol I used FreeTress Water Wave Hair in number 4 and a little 4/30 to incorporate the golden highlights.
Its doesnt look like much hair in the pack but its called bulk for a reason people! lol to do her hair it took just 2.5 packs it was about $6 each. The hair frizzes very easily when you seperate each cluster so to tame that and define the curl I used some cheapo Ampro Clear Ice Gel I had lying around on each piece and it worked beautifully very little flaking and light-medium hold. I was so glad to finally find a use or that. If you want more of an afro look you can simply leave the hair frizzy and you’ll get the full effect you want. Without further ado…..heres the pix!
Enjoy! 
I started by Cornrowing her hair while wet. I used a very small amount of IC fantasia gel on her edges and the first half inch of her roots. On the rest of her hair I used Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Cream Moisturizer for each section and re-wetted as I went along with aspray bottle.
