I rocked crochet braids for about six months and absolutely loved them!  It was one of the easiest styles to maintain.  And part of the beauty was that I could install them myself. There are tons of video of how to install on Youtube.  (The video is my first ever so pardon the portrait perspective.)

To achieve the look below, use Harlem125 Kima Braid Hair in 14" , color 1B.  I used 2-3 packs, and cut the hair in half before application. After installing, I gentle separated the dreads. You can separate multiple times, depending on how voluminous you want your hair.

I stocked up on the hair below since it's inexpensive and I reapplied new hair about every 2-3 months. to keep the hair looking fresh.

Happy crochet braiding, ladies!
