Crochet braids are a protective styling technique that uses a latch hook to attach extension hair to cornrowed natural hair — significantly faster than traditional braiding. The result can be curls, twists or straight styles, all without sitting in a salon chair for 8 hours. Properly installed, crochet braids last 4–8 weeks and let you wash and moisturize your natural hair more easily than weaves or wigs. Best for anyone who wants a protective style on a shorter timeline.
Crochet braids are a protective styling technique where extension hair is woven into cornrows using a latch hook tool.
The key difference from traditional braided styles: the finished crochet look doesn't have to be braids at all. You can wear curls, twists, locks, or even straight hair — all using the crochet method.
