Crochet Braids Service Overview

Crochet Braids are a fast, protective method where pre-looped hair is installed using a crochet needle onto cornrowed natural hair. This technique allows for a full, voluminous look without individual braiding. It’s one of the most versatile styles—available in curly, wavy, straight, loc, twist, and braid textures.

Ideal for clients who want a stylish look with less install time, Crochet Braids offer beauty and protection in one. You can choose your desired hair texture, length, and finish. The install is lightweight and puts minimal stress on your natural hair.
