Crochet braids

Since December 25th, 2013, crochet braids have been my staple protective style.

The first time, I used old braid hair and achieved a big kinky fro look.

The second time, I used Bohemain curl hair and achieved a cute curly do that looked like the Perry wig that I used to wear from time to time.

This third time, I put Expressions braiding hair in for a long straight look. I had hoped to achieve bangs in the front but failed. I have been wearing hats and using scarves to achieve very cute looks such as top knots, side braided ponytails and even just wearing my hair in a wrap, half wrap or half wrap with bun. So far, so good.

For my fourth attempt, I hope to find a wavy curl hair and put that in. I may leave some hair out for the first time to achieve a more natural look.

After that, I will go straight again, leaving some hair out.

I think that I will leave my hair alone in June/July - no crochet braids, no nothing. I will take that time to apply the max hydration method and I hope that over a month, I will achieve a looser curl. Irregardless, it will give my scalp a break and let me play around with my natural hair.

When its time for the kids to go back to school, however, I will probably put in the curly style again and maybe follow that up with box braids, which I can only keep in for 4-6 weeks.
