[Photos] 4 Things You Should Know Before You Make Crochet Braids

Thinking about crochet braids?  Here are some things that will help make it easier.

Your braid pattern matters

Consider how you want your hair to fall. If  you want to have a side part, then you will want to make sure your braid pattern is to the side so it is framing your face the way you like it to.

You don’t have to use a crochet hook

If you don’t have a crochet hook, don’t worry there are two other alternatives that many of you may already have in your home. You have the choice of using a bobby pin or a hair beader.

Space your sections out

Especially if you are going with Marley Hair, the hair is already full so you definitely have room to space out each section that you do to avoid the style from becoming overly full.

Detangle the hair before installing and upon completion

If you are going for a curly look and you are using marley hair you will want to detangle prior to adding to your hair to make the detangling process easier.
